Down the TBR-hole #15

It is time for another round of Down the TBR-hole, where I go through the books in my To Be Read shelf on Goodreads and try to decide if I still want to read them (should they stay?) or not (should they go?).

The Faerie Guardian – Rachel Morgan
I was feeling semi interested when I read the description now but I see that it is available on my audiobook service. I’ll give it a chance.
Verdict: Stays

The Masked City – Genevieve Cogman
I read the first book in the series a couple of years ago and really liked it. I do not remember anything about it now though. I think I will do a re-listen to the first book in the series to freshen up my memory before I decide if I should let this one go.
Verdict: Stays

A Walk to Remember – Nicholas Sparks
This book was recommended to me by a friend, I will get to this one eventually.
Verdict: Stays

Fall of Giants – Ken Follett
This one was also recommended to me by a friend. Added it to my audiobook account (it is almost 40 hours long!).
Verdict: Stays

Renegades – Marissa Meyer
I really liked The Lunar Chronicles books that I read and I should probably try to finish reading this series. I am not feeling a strong urge to read this one so I will let it go from the TBR. I might revisit it when I finish the Lunar Chronicles though…
Verdict: Goes

Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits – Mary Jane Hathaway
I am torn. I do like a Pride and Prejudice story. But I was not very intrigued when I read the synopsis now. And it seems to be expensive to get ahold of. I think it will have to go.
Verdict: Goes

The Unexpected Mrs Pollifax – Dorothy Gilman
This one sounds like it could be a delight! A woman (older than the typical main character) that becomes a CIA agent?
Verdict: Stays

The Perfect Horse – Elizabeth Letts
I find this book intriguing. It is a second world war book about the rescuing of horses? Does not seem to be easily found on my audiobook service or the library but I think I will keep it here anyway.
Verdict: Stays

Avalons dotter (Skin) – Ilka Tampke
My library has this one, I think I will give it a chance.
Verdict: Stays

Bonny’s Big Day – James Herriot
I was pleasantly surprised that my library had this one! It is a short childrens’ book and I very much enjoy the books about James Herriot so this read was a no brainer. I reserved it.
Verdict: Stays

Walk on Earth a Stranger – Rae Carson
I can not remember adding this book to my shelf but I do see that I have a couple of Goodreads friends have added it as well (none of them has read it though) so a good guess is that I saw it passing by in the timeline. My audiobook service had is as an audiobook so I saved it to give it a try.
Verdict: Stays

Deception’s Princess – Esther M. Friesner
This book will sadly leave. It is not available in my library or my audiobook service and I do not want to read it badly enough to buy it. It is a beautiful cover through and that is probably why it landed on my shelf to begin with.
Verdict: Goes

How did it go this time?
Books in the TBR shelf at start: 240
Number of staying books: 9
Number of leaving books: 3
Total amount of leaving books: 50
Number of reserved books at the library: 1
Number of books put in to-borrow-shelf: –
Number of books added to audiobook-account: 3
Current amount of books in my TBR shelf: 269

Mostly staying books in this round. I am pleased that quite a few of them were available in the library or on my audiobook service.

I am going to do a new try to keep these posts more regular. It would be fun to get the number on this shelf down a bit. When I take too long in between the posts, I have time to add so many books…
