Down the TBR Hole #6 – February 22, 2018

Down the TBR hole

It’s time for another week of the Down the TBR Hole challenge from Lost in a Story.  I’ve missed a few weeks due to illness (the flu this year is no joke, people!), so let’s try to get back in the swing of things!

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

Legend

Legend – Marie Lu

Another dystopian YA? Yes, please!  What is it about teens in peril that I like so much?  No idea, but keep ’em coming!

Verdict: KEEP

 

 

The Heartstone Thief

The Heartstone Thief – Pippa DaCosta

I’ve seen this recommended a ton for fans of grimdark fantasy, and I have a special place in my heart for ones written by women.  No brainer.

Verdict: KEEP

 

 

The Last Wish

 

The Last Wish – Andrzej Sapkowski

I have heard all sorts of good things about these books.  Not sure it’s going to be my jam, but figured it’s worth a try since I know my library carries at least the first one.

Verdict: KEEP

 

 

City of Stairs

 

City of Stairs – Robert Jackson Bennett

I checked this out of the library back when it first was published, but couldn’t get into it at the time before I had to take it back.  I’d like to try at least one more time.

Verdict: KEEP

 

 

The Traitor Baru Cormorant

 

The Traitor Baru Cormorant – Seth Dickinson

Political intrigue and fierce female characters?  Yeaaaaah, this is staying on the list.

Verdict: KEEP

 

 

Summary

Total Books Sorted: 50

Books kept: 40 (80%)

Books tossed: 10 (20%)

Not a good week for thinning out the TBR!

What do you think of my decisions?
