Down the TBR Hole #4 – January 25, 2018
It’s time for another week of the Down the TBR Hole challenge from Lost in a Story.
Here’s the basics:
- 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?
What fun things will we find this week?
The Books
Superheroes Anonymous – Lexie Dunne
This reminds me a bit of The Refrigerator Monologues, and since I already own that book, I think I’ll take this one off my TBR list for now.
Verdict: GO
Red Winter – Annette Marie
That cover is gorgeous, and it has some pretty great reviews, so I think I’ll keep this one on the list.
Verdict: KEEP
Song of the Current – Sarah Tolcser
YA pirate fantasy. Nuff said.
Verdict: KEEP
Heartstone – Elle Katharine White
Pride & Prejudice with dragons? I’m a sucker for any P&P retelling.
Verdict: KEEP
Want – Cindy Pon
I’ve heard really great things about this one, though the reviews on Goodreads seem to be divided.
Verdict: KEEP
Warcross – Marie Lu
I’ve heard this described as a YA Ready Player One, without the misogyny. Keeping!
Verdict: KEEP
All in Pieces – Suzanne Young
This sounds super interesting, and I completely forgot it was on my list. Hmm, may need to bump this one up!
Verdict: KEEP
The Falconer – Elizabeth May
Eh, the blurb isn’t that interesting to me – definitely shades of “I’m so special!!!”.
Verdict: GO
A Darker Shade of Magic – V. E. Schwab
I tried reading this a while ago, but had to put it down because I just wasn’t feeling it at the time. It was interesting, though, so I think I’d like to read it later.
Verdict: KEEP
Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo
I’ve heard amazing things about this one, too. So, it’s staying!
Verdict: KEEP
