Down the TBR Hole #5

Down The TBR Hole is a meme, hosted @ Lost in a Story, that revolves around cleansing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sort through it all to know what’s actually on there.

It works like this:

• Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
• Order on ascending date added.
• Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
• Read the synopses of the books
• Decide: keep it or should it go?

Let’s see… the last time I did one of these was… 10 months ago?! Yikes. Hold onto your socks, I have no idea what we’re in store for. 

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey

I’m not excited about this one the way I used to be, but I’ve heard (and been told) that it’s one of the BEST dragon books ever written. So it stays, for the moment anyway.

Armada by Ernest Cline

It stays. I already own the hardcover. Because of that, and because Ready Player One. So… yeah.

The Automatic Detective by A. Lee Martinez

The only book I read by Martinez was Monster. And it was okay, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get around to this one, even though it still sounds interesting to me. Just not sure it’s interesting enough to ever float to the top… Let’s cut it.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

And that’s how long this book has been on my TBR! It stays, it stays. A thousand times, it stays!

The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death by Charlie Huston

The premise of this one is really interesting, but then the plot that goes with it doesn’t really keep me excited. I’m afraid this one’s getting cut from the list as well. 

2/5 book gone. Could be worse, could be better. Let’s hope it’s not another 10 months before I look to clean it up a little.

Fun fact about this post: Do NOT like the new wordpress editor. Not at all.
