Down the TBR Hole was created by Lia @ Lost in a Story. My goal is to review 12 books every Sunday until I make it through my TBR.
The Rules:
- Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date Added.
- Take the first 5 to 10 books (I’ve settled on 8).
- Read the synopses of the book
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
Starting Count: 197
- Nerdgasm – Keep – Possibly one of the coolest titles ever, I’m intrigued.
- Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe – Remove – This sounds super sad and I don’t love the title.
- Blackwing – Remove – It sounds cool but I doubt I will ever read it
- The Last Namsara – Keep – I own this and still want to read it someday!
- To Be Honest – Remove – I’m not a big contemporary fan and I am not sure why I added this one in the first place
- At the Stroke of Midnight – Keep – This sounds like a fun and naughty twist on classic fairy tales
- Kiss of the Royal – Keep – Sounds like enemies to lovers!
- American Hippo – Keep – I just really like the title
- Sea Witch – Keep – It sounds dark but I have heard good things about this one.
- Daughter of the Burning City – Remove – It sounds cool but I doubt I will ever read it
- How To Be a Heroine – Keep – I like the cover and the title!
- The Mermaid’s Escape – Remove – I just found out that this is a reverse harem and while I am intrigued, that really isn’t my thing

To be honest has been on my radar but it’s not officially on my tbr if that makes sense?

I enjoyed Kiss of the Royal and Sea Witch. I have to say my expectations were a bit too high for Sea Witch. Wasn’t completely expecting the story to go as it did.

I’ve heard that a lot about Sea Witch, so whenever I read it I will go in with realistic expectations (hopefully haha)

I read the trilogy that At the Stroke of Midnight begins. You are right, it is a naughty, yet fun take on fairytales.

There is a very good chance that I added it to my TBR after seeing it on your blog 😂 I’m glad you liked them!

Technically I guess American Hippo is on my TBR since I want to read the first of the two novellas that makes up that book. I haven’t read any of these yet, but it sounds like you made some good choices about them all!

Hmmm, I didn’t realize that American Hippo was a collection of shorter books. Is it bad if that makes me want to read it less? I thought it was just one book

I haven’t read them, but I think it’s the same series and characters, so maybe that will help?
