Hey guys! It’s time for another Down the TBR Hole which was created by Lia @Lost In A Story! It’s officially my 30th post of Down The TBR. It’s been so much fun going through and getting rid of my books. I’m almost under 600 books which is so great. Maybe I can get under 500 by the end of the year. Now let’s see how today goes.
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
The fact that I will be repeating this process every week means that I have to keep track of where I ended and where I’m going to continue. E.g. in week one I do book 1 – 5, in week two book 6 – 10, and so on, until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR.
A Perfect Crime By Peter Abrahams
So this book sounds interesting. Then it has the line that this is written by Stephen King’s favorite American suspense novelist. So that caught my attention. I’m interested in checking this out.

Trust No One By Paul Cleave
This is another one that sounds super interesting. I am very interested in reading it right away. The library by my house has it on the hold shelves so I hopefully will be able to pick it up today.

Dangerous Boys By Abigail Haas
I read Dangerous Girls by Abigail a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. When I saw she had written another book I got so excited. I need to get the ebook of this.

The Ruining By Anna Collomore
I’ve mentioned in the past there is just something about covers with people in water and the pool that I have to add them to my list. The summary doesn’t really pull me in. It also seems like this book is either hit or miss. I’m going to pass.
Judgement: Go
Cruel Summer By James Dawson
See what I mean about covers with people in the water? I think the plot sounds interesting and it has good reviews. I’ll keep it on my list.
Judgement: Keep
At the Water’s Edge By Sara Gruen
I’d heard good things about this book so when I saw it at the library book sale I bought it. It’s not really a genre I like. The plot does sound pretty cool. Them going to hunt the Loch Ness monster. I think I’m going to give it a chance.

Pretty Baby By Mary Kubica
This is another book I found at the library book sale. I read one of Mary’s books in the past. I didn’t love it so I still want to check out her other books.

This Is How It Really Sounds By Stuart Archer Cohen
Rereading the plot of this book. I’m going to have to pass on it. Not really interested in it.
Judgement: Go
The Rosie Project By Graeme Simsion
I have been wanting to check this book out for a while now. I’ve almost picked it up at Book Outlet a couple of times. I’m still interested in reading it. Then checking out the movie after.
Judgement: Keep
The Secret Garden By Frances Hodgson Burnett
This is a beloved children’s classic that I’ve always heard about but never read. I really would like to read.

Have you guys read any of these books? I would love to hear your thoughts if you had.
Bookish In Bed 
I loved The Rosie Project, do recommend. Unfortunately the second part (The Rosie Effect) is very disappointing, so I would skip that and read The Rosie Project as a stand alone book. (That also saves some space on your TBR 😉)
