Started by Lost in a Story, the most fun way to cut down that TBR!
The rules:
- 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?
I’ve seen several other folks change up their formatting for this, so I’ve decided to give it a shot as well! Let me know if you preferred my old formatting more or have any other suggestions for me. 🙂
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
I really loved The Girl on the Train, but I just don’t really get excited thinking about this one. REMOVE.
Page Turner by Barbara Kyle
I’m not sure if I’ll ever get around to writing a novel, but this book just isn’t a priority. REMOVE.
Beloved by Toni Morrison
Feels like a must-read. KEEP.
Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman
For some reason I thought this had a queer plotline, but it doesn’t so I don’t care. REMOVE.
How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake
Here’s the queer book I was looking for. KEEP.
The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr
Weh, I just don’t feel terribly interested in this. REMOVE.
The Leavers by Lisa Ko
I think this is worth giving a shot. KEEP.
It’s Always the Husband by Michele Campbell
Again, I just don’t feel interested. REMOVE.
On Such a Full Sea by Chang-rae Lee
Conflicting reviews, and only one of my friends has read it. REMOVE.
Nasty Women edited by 404 Ink
Looks like a super interesting anthology. KEEP.
I managed to remove 6 out of 10 books today. Any decisions you would have made differently?

Have just started The Leavers. Slow pace but enjoying Ko’s development of young Deming’s character. Definitely one to keep on your TBR!

Great, I’m glad I decided to keep it! 🙂 It seems like one that could go one way or the other for me, so I was thinking it would be worth trying.
