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?
- Keep track of where you left off so you can pick up there next week!
Check out my other editions of “Down The TBR Hole” here.
Current TBR: 770
Book #150
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Date Added: August 13th, 2015
I actually thought about getting rid of this one but I heard it’s a “Hades & Persephone” retelling and I NEED all of them that I can get so I’ll give this one ago. I actually got a signed copy off of Book Outlet so that’s neat!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #152
The Child Thief by Brom
Date Added: August 13th, 2015
Definitely keeping because I need all the Peter Pan retellings and especially if they’re dark and twisted versions!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #153
The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard
Date Added: August 13th, 2015
The premise still sounds interesting if not a little confusing, but it’s got fallen angels I believe. However, I just don’t have any interest in trying to read it anymore.
The Judgement: Go
Book #154
Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith
Date Added: August 27th, 2015
I’m a little on the fence with this one but I’ll keep it for now because it seems like a good Halloween read!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #155
The Creeping by Alexandra Sirowy
Date Added: August 31st, 2015
I already own a copy and I do like the sound of a book called “The Creeping”, I believe it’s a mystery thriller but I’m also hoping (as the title implies) that it is a little creepy as well!
The Judgement: Keep
Book #156
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake
Date Added: September 3rd, 2015
I absolutely loved “Anna Dressed in Blood” it’s really an amazing book so I’m excited to eventually read the sequel.
The Judgement: Keep
Book #157
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
Date Added: September 4th, 2015
I don’t really remember why I ever added this but I’m removing it now.
The Judgement: Go
Book #158
Blood & Salt by Kim Liggett
Date Added: September 24th, 2015
I’m so torn on this one because I love creepy books but it didn’t get the best reviews and I’m not sure if I really want to bother. I hate being disappointed so I think I’ll just get rid of it.
The Judgement: Go
Book #159
The Haunting of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie
Date Added: September 24th, 2015
I don’t know if this one will disappoint me or not but I really cling to YA horror books on my TBR so I let one go this round and I’m keeping this one. I’m hoping it’s worth it!
The Judgement: Keep
Have you read any of these? What did you think?
Do you think I should have kept any of these books?
Do you agree with any of my keeps or discards?

I love the cover of The House of Shattered Wings and was curious about it too a while back but, yeah, fallen angels and such don’t work for me either.

Yep, I was suckered in by the cover but I feel like fallen angels were overdone back during the paranormal romance phase in YA so I just don’t need any more on my TBR!

I don’t know why but for some reason I really love making people add books from my Down the TBR Hole posts because it’s all about getting rid of books and I think that’s funny. Glad you found a new one though and I’m down for any and all buddy reads because then I’ll ACTUALLY read them haha! 🙂

Same, that’s why I have it as well! Hopefully it’s as creepy as it looks and (quite literally) sounds! 🙂
