Oh, hello. Am I really back with another Down the TBR Hole post after several weeks of purposely ignoring it? Why yes, I am š¬ It’s been a while, gentlefriends, but I’m back and since the last post where I ended with 1,005 books, I’m now starting with a whopping 1,022 books on my Goodreads TBR! Yeah, I kind of went on a mini add-spree yesterday… š But let’s see how many of the 10 books I’ll say bye-bye-bye to this week! I’m hoping it’s at least one?
Down the TBR Hole is a weekly book meme created by the wonderful Lia @ Lost in a Story that attempts to organize our ridiculously long Goodreads TBR list by choosing either to keep or eliminate the books weāve saved on there. Here’s how it works:
Verdict: Keep
Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders
Did I mention my fascination with serial killers?
In Cold Blood
See above comment. But seriously, this is one true crime classic I really want to read!
Columbine
I remember when this happened and how much it frightened me and how everyone wouldn’t stop talking about it. That was the first time I learned about how easy it was to get a gun in America.
The People in the Trees
I loved A Little Life so much and I’m keen to see whether I’ll love this one too. I also have the physical copy already.
Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight
I’ve had this one sitting on my shelf partially read for a really long time now… I started it but it’s on my ‘taking-a-break’ for now shelf because I struggle with NF. I will finish it though!
A Brief History of Seven Killings
I have several of Marlon James’ books on my shelf but his books really intimidate me… But I really want to read this!
The Lowland
I’ve wanted to read Lahiri’s books for a while now and I do have the physical copy of this so it’s staying!
Verdict: BYE-BYE-BYE!
The Monster of Florence
I’m interested but it’s not so high up on my true crime want-to-read list so off it goes! Might come back later though…
Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI
This sounds hella interesting and up my alley of wanting to know more about serial killers’ minds but I think I’d rather watch Mind Hunter first… This might come back though!
The Luminaries
I don’t know if this will be my jam and since it’s a helluva tome, I’m saying bye for now!
Final tally: 3/10 books were removed which isn’t great but at least I managed to remove something from my TBR this week, right?! š¤£

OH YIKES. I’m glad that I booted it off my list tbh. I mean, I heard a lot of mixed reviews but I just thought hmm… I don’t think this will be for me. And for an ending that’s unsatisfying? No thank ye! ššš

I’m really keen to read it! After months of scouring bookstores here for it (I didn’t want to order online even though that would’ve been much simpler š haha) I finally found it and now it’s sitting on my shelf for months… I hope to read it soon though!

šThats fair, I prefer bookstores to! šAh that is the bookish way though, I have a lot of books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read as well š I hope you enjoy it when you do, It is a great book, I studied it for A-Levels, so interesting! I look forward to seeing your thoughts on it when you get to read it šš

It’s nice that you could get a few books off your TBR.
