Just Another Girl and her Books: Down the TBR Hole #9 11/21/2020

Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by Lia @ 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 let it go?

So I made a comment the other day about wanting to be more active on the blog again, and so Joood, my arch-nemesis, bossed me into joining this meme. I'm just going to warn you that this is going to be an exercise in futility for me, because I add dozens of books to my to-read shelf on Goodreads every day as I enter literally all of the giveaways. But that is also going to add another element to my posts, because I refuse to completely break up with a giveaway win, at least for now. I may change my mind on that in the future. But also, since my shelf is so crazy out of control and only getting worse, I'm going to have to go through way more than ten books per post. So for now, my posts will be light on graphics, and I'm only going to explain the books I'm keeping.

Let's go, shall we?

At the end of my last list (and after entering some giveaways because they were ending!!!) I had my list at 139,490. But I've entered a few more giveaways now so this is where I'm starting.

I feel like I did an amazing job knocking a bunch more books off my list, not that these posts are making much of a difference in the size of my list. But in about four years, I should have it down to a pretendably manageable size. Yay.

Did I make any bad decisions on my list? - Katie
