Down the TBR-hole #19

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?).

Eat Like a Gilmore: Daily Cravings – Cristi Carlson
I have a soft spot for cookbooks. I still need to try more recipes from the first Gilmore Girls cookbook but I kinda want to read this one as well.
Verdict: Stays

Interaktionsdesign och UX – Mattias Arvola
I own this book and have every intention of reading it.
Verdict: Stays

Finnikin of the Rock – Melina Marchetta
I’m not sure I’m that interested in this one anymore. I think I can let it go.
Verdict: Goes

Whiskey in a Teacup – Reese Witherspoon
I actually have this at home now, borrowed from the library. I should really start reading it before I have to return it.
Verdict: Stays

Björnstad (Beartown) – Fredrik Backman
I own this one and it has also been recommended to me by a friend.
Verdict: Stays

Slutet (The End) – Mats Strandberg
Recommended to me by a friend.
Verdict: Stays

Tårar i havet (Salt to the Sea) – Ruta Sepetys
Recommended to me by a friend,
Verdict: Stays

Folk med ångest (Anxious People) – Fredrik Backman
I really like Backman’s writing. I have borrowed this from a friend, I should read it and return it.
Verdict: Stays

Fire on High – Elizabeth Acevedo
I think I actually had this one home from the library and started it but got sidetracked. It wasn’t bad so I still aim to read this one.
Verdict: Stays

Smitten – Janet Evanovich
I don’t remember how this happened to land here. Was it available at my audiobook service? Did I want to try something else that this author had written, other than the Stephanie Plum series? It is available at my audiobook service, maybe I should give it a go and see how it is.
Verdict: Stays

Aurora Rising – Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
Sounds like a fun book, lets see if I can find it somewhere
Verdict: Stay

A Study in Charlotte – Brittany Cavallard
I’m a little torn but it’s available at both the library and my audiobook account so I might as well give it a go.
Verdict: Stays

How did it go this time?
Books in the TBR shelf at start: 240
Number of staying books: 11
Number of leaving books: 1
Total amount of leaving books: 55
Number of reserved books at the library: 0
Number of books put in to-borrow-shelf: 1
Number of books added to audiobook-account: 2
Current amount of books in my TBR shelf: 263

I keep saying that I need to do these more recurring so that I actually can see the decrease when I remove books. I have been more restrictive in adding books to my TBR though because I know it will increase it. Not many left the shelf this time but I see it as a good sign that I’ve been adding books that I am interested in reading.
