Down The TBR Hole #1

Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by Lost in a Story, but she has permitted I’m Into Books to adopt it since she is no longer blogging. I always see Confessions of a YA Reader do this and I have been wanting to give it a shot myself as my Goodreads to-read shelf has 675 books on it.

It works like this:

  • Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
  • Order on ascending date added.
  • Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
  • Read the synopses of the books
  • Decide: keep it or should it go
This week's books:
Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens
Forget Me Not by Melissa Morgan
Sweethands by N.G. Peltier
Last Chance Books by Kelsey Rodkey
The Dead List by Jennifer L Armentrout

Keeping:

I removed 2 and kept 3.

    Every now and then I'll randomly decide to do something like this to my GR TBR, but I rarely make a dent haha.

    I try to do this once a year, both to remind me what is there and to decide if I still want to read it.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: Choosing your next read

   That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 17th: How do you choose what to read next? I am a big mood reader, and my mood is always changing so I typically don't follow any kind of schedule for reading - I just kind of look around at what I own and grab what sounds best. My library holds usually end up choosing for me as once I get a book up from the library, I usually want to jump right into it. I have gotten super into applying for and reading ARCs lately so deadlines for the reviews have been choosing for me lately. The time of year is also a big factor in how I choose because once September rolls around, I kick into a gear where I only wanna read horror & mystery and that won't stop until Halloween and by then I am ready for Winter and Christmas themed reads.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: How Do You Read?

That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  June 3rd: Paper, electronic, audio… How do you read? Has it changed in recent years? This year I sit at 75% of the books I read being physical copies and 25% being electronic which is slightly higher than normal for me - my all time stats have ebooks making up only 18% of my total reading, I think I have been on the rise this year because I have gotten into applying for and reading ARCs. I have tried multiple times to get into audiobooks but I get distracted too easily for them. Last year I got back into going to the library and 35% of the books I have read this year have come from there instead of from my own collection of unread books.

First Line Friday! Meme

Image
 Welcome to First Line Friday! This is a weekly feature hosted by Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower . The idea is very simple: you just share the first line (or lines) of the book you are currently reading.  I love judging books by their first line. When I am book shopping at a physical store, I will read the synopsis and then the first line before deciding if I am going to buy it. I am cheating a little bit on this prompt as this line isn't from my current read but is instead from my favorite read so far this year. "It is one hour before Camilla's life changes, though she doesn't yet know it." It is June 21st, the longest day of the year, and new mother Camilla’s life is about to change forever. After months of maternity leave, she will drop her infant daughter off at daycare for the first time and return to her job as a literary agent. Finally. But, when she wakes, her husband Luke isn’t there, and in his place is a cryptic note. Then it starts. Breaking news: ...
