Down the TBR Hole is a meme/feature hosted by Lia (Lost in a Story). Hopefully this will remind me to read some of these long-lost, woeful books that have been sitting untouched, forgotten on these bookshelves of mine.
Rules
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
I've added a twist: if there are any books that I do decide to let go, I'm going to host a giveaway. First person who says they want it, gets it! Aussie only.
Let's get started!
Current TBR count: 443
I don't even know where this book is! But I still really want to read this one! >_< It sounds bloody amaze-balls. Why have I still not read it?!?!? Wizards. Quests. Secrets. "Through a journey that spans a country, magic and hard-won romance are woven together with precision and brilliant design by a first-time novelist." Need I possibly say more?
Verdict: KEEP
Sea by Heidi R. Kling
Release date: 10/06/2010
I'm pretty sure I got this for my birthday all those years ago. Either that or a giveaway. I loved the idea of this book, and I still think I will adore it when I finally get around to reading it. There's an Indonesian boy in the book! Since when do you ever see Indonesian characters at all in YA? It's definitely a summer read, so it'll still be sitting on the shelves until then...
Verdict: KEEP
Release date: 05/07/2007
Do I seriously have a copy of this book? Ugh. I'm so terrible. It must be somewhere around here... anyway, this book is about a girl who makes a list of things she wants to do before she dies in a few months. Number one of that list? Have sex. This one is going to break me, I already know it. (Once I find my copy of it, seriously, it could be anywhere...)
Verdict: KEEP
This still sounds like a bunch of fun, and I think when I do get around to reading it I'll enjoy it. But because it's part of a series, I think I'm going to just catch this at the library. I'm getting a bit older and this is certainly starting to read a bit young for me.
Verdict: GO (not available)
Losing Faith by Denise Jordan
Release date: 17/09/2010
I was so excited for this book. I remember when I first started book blogging I loved supporting debut authors, and I ended up winning a poetry contest for a free Losing Faith writing journal. And I really still love the idea of this book: grieving the loss of the sister you disliked. So much time has passed that I'm scared of not liking it. One day...

So what do you think? I actually love this feature and will probably be continuing it in the future! When was the last time you saw these book covers gracing your screen on a book blog? Forever ago? I thought so. You're welcome. Let's talk. If you've read any of these, give me a big jab so I can read it sooner!
