Down the TBR-hole #20

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?).

Den hemliga historien (The Secret History) – Donna Tartt
Recommended to me by a friend. Will try to get to this one.
Verdict: Stays

Not if I Save You First – Ally Carter
This is available at my audiobook service! Adding it to my shelf and will give it a go.
Verdict: Stays

Dödsviskaren – Lovisa Wistrand
Number three in a series, need to freshen up my memory before getting to this one. Added it to my audiobook shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Ett litet steg på vägen – Jenny Fagerlund
I didn’t feel the I-want-to-read-this spark when I read the synopsis so I’ll let this one go.
Verdict: Goes

Kärlek på menyn (Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe) – Debbie Johnson
I’m not really feeling it. I might just be in a period of wanting more adventurous stories at the moment am considering letting this one go. It does have a very high rating on Goodreads though and I’m wondering why, I’m adding it to my audiobook shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Mutts and Mistletoe – Natalie Cox
I’m not that interested in reading this anymore. I’ll let it go.
Verdict: Goes

A Lady by Midnight – Tessa Dare
Fake relationship, I am intrigued. I have liked Tessa Dares books before, am adding this to my audiobook shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Heart of Thorns – Bree Barton
I’m feeling hesitant. And it’s not available at my audiobook service nor the library.
Verdict: Goes

Heart of Rebellion – Sian Ann Bessey
This one can either be quite boring or interesting. It’s a beautiful cover that makes me want to keep it, but I don’t feel like buying it to read it.
Verdict: Goes

Syndätarens dotter (The Sin Eater’s Daughter) – Melinda Salisbury
It seems like only the first book in the series was translated into Swedish, I guess it didn’t sell well. It’s available as an ebook at my audiobook service so I’ll give it a try.
Verdict: Stays

Åminne – Sven Deblanc
A friend of the family recommended this book. It’s available at the library so I’ll probably check it out sometime. Added it to my to-borrow-shelf.
Verdict: Stays

The Tiger and the Wolf – Adrian Tchaikovsky
I think I added this one to my TBR after gifting it to one of my friends. I’ve no idea if she’s read it but I’m still intrigued. Adding it to my audiobook shelf.
Verdict: Stays

How did it go this time?
Books in the TBR shelf at start: 240
Number of staying books: 8
Number of leaving books: 4
Total amount of leaving books: 59
Number of reserved books at the library: 0
Number of books put in to-borrow-shelf: 1
Number of books added to audiobook-account: 6
Current amount of books in my TBR shelf: 259

There was quite a few leaving this time. If I wouldn’t have free access to them on my phone, a couple of more might have made their way. Maybe I should do a series where I tryout the ones I’ve said I would give a go, perhaps a “trying one chapter” sort of post. Not sure what would happen with the ones I want to keep, will I just finish them directly? I’ll let this idea marinate for a bit.

The numbers on my TBR shelf is still higher than when we started, but we’re under 260 now!
