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 Tea Master and the Detective – Aliette de Bodard
I don’t remember why this happened to land on my TBR but I like a good detective story and it’s available on my audiobook service as an ebook so I’ll give it a try!
Verdict: Stays

Brun flicka drömmer (Brown Girl Deaming) – Jacqueline Woodson
This book was recommended to me by my book circle friend J. I was also convinced that I had added it to my audiobook service shelf but it seems like they’ve since removed the ebook and only have the audio left. I think this is a book I want to read with my eyes so I’m adding it to my to-borrow shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Flame in the Mist – Renée Ahdieh
I don’t remember adding this to my TBR either but I’m intrigued by the plot. I’m adding it to my to-borrow shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Rent a Boyfriend – Gloria Chao
A cute fake dating story? Yes please!
Verdict: Stays

Moder Jord, Fader Himmel (Mother Earth, Father Sky) – Sue Harrison
Another story I’m not completely sure how I came to add to my TBR. One of my Goodread’s friends has read it so perhaps I added it to me shelf after she marked it as read? It is available at my audiobook service so I guess I’ll give it a chance.
Verdict: Stays

The Magic Misfits – Neil Patrick Harris
This is a middle grade book and quite a quick read (I think). The library has it so I’ll add it to my to-borrow shelf.
Verdict: Stays

Serpent & Dove – Shelby Mahurin
I believe I gifted this to mum and have since borrowed it, it’s laying at home waiting for me to read it.
Verdict: Stays

Fable – Adrienne Young
Is this about … pirates?! It’s a keeper, adding it to my audiobook service account.
Verdict: Stays

Green Rider – Kristen Britain
I like the sound of this book but I’m not sure how I’m going to read it. Do I like the sound of it enough to buy it? It’s not available to me otherwise. Maybe not but I think I’ll keep it here for a while and ponder over it.
Verdict: Stays

Regency Buck – Georgette Heyer
I did read the first book in the Alastair-Audley Tetralogy and I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I need to read these in order so I might be able to jump to this one next.
Verdict: Stays

Crazy rich i Asien (Crazy Rich Asians) – Kevin Kwan
I just read this book, so I guess it’ll be one of those neither go or stay books. I liked it and will probably read the next book in the series as well.
Verdict: –

Love Your Life – Sophie Kinsella
I’m always interested in reading a Sophie Kinsella, it’s a keeper. Adding it to my audiobook service shelf.
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: –
Total amount of leaving books: 63
Number of reserved books at the library: –
Number of books put in to-borrow-shelf: 3
Number of books added to audiobook-account: 4
Current amount of books in my TBR shelf: 262

It looks like this was more of an “where can I get ahold of this book” session more than anything. No books were leaving this time. The book already read isn’t really doing much difference to the current number on my TBR shelf, it has increased a few books on the shelf since the last post (last post number: 256), I guess I can’t just stop finding new interesting books to read! And I guess I need to keep making these more regularly (as I keep saying, haha).

Have you read any of these books? Any of them I should prioritise?
