Found this idea through Bookishly Brittany who followed Lost in a Story.
Here is how it works:
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
So here we go….
GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso
I am pretty sure someone recommended this to me. It is the first book on my goodreads and has been on my TBR since 2015. Going back and reading the synopsis it just doesn’t call to me at this point in my life.
Judgement: Go
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
Reading the synopsis now the book sounds incredibly sad. I am not sure how I found this book or if it was recommended. It has such great reviews too. I do want to read it, now that I am seeing it again I want to find a time to read it when I am emotionally ready.
Judgement: Keep
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
By now I have figured out where a lot of these books came from by seeing which of my goodreads friends have reviewed them. I read the synopsis and can’t seem to find one good reason why I wanted to read it.
Judgement: Go
Darla’s Story by Mike Mullin
This was one of those novellas in between two books in a series that is supposed to help you understand a character better. I probably put it on my TBR because I was reading the series but then when I finished I had zero interest in reading it.
Judgement: Go
Ashfall by Denise A. Agnew
I have a feeling I added this because it was similar to something I was reading at the time and it got lost in the forever growing TBR list. Looking back at the synopsis I do actually want to read it!
Judgement: Keep
I hope to do some more of these to help get through my TBR. I think in the next I might also do some of my Kindle Books because I have over 1000 on there!
