t’s time for another round of cleaning up my Goodreads To Read shelf. If you want to know the full story behind why I decided to do this please check out my first round
HOW IT WORKS
GO TO YOUR GOODREADS TO-READ SHELF.
ORDER ON ASCENDING DATE ADDED.
TAKE THE FIRST 5 (OR 10 OR 15 OR 20, IF YOU’RE FEELING ADVENTUROUS) BOOKS.
READ THE SYNOPSES OF THE BOOKS.
DECIDE: KEEP IT OR SHOULD IT GO?
KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU LEFT OFF SO YOU CAN PICK UP THERE LATER
In my last journey down the TBR hole I managed to remove four books, however I have since added a new one to the list so I am now at a total of
324
books on my To Read List. I left off keeping the Magician’s series, of which I own two of them.
The Long Cosmos
Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
This is the last book in the Long Earth series and I have started the series and really enjoyed the first book. I also managed to find all but the 2nd book available in my local charity shop which probably the reason I have yet to continue, I should just purchase the second so I can keep going.
Keep
Morning Star and Golden Son
Pierce Brown
The continuation of the Red Rising series, which I started last month but had to put aside for the O.W.Ls. I was really enjoying it so I think I will be continuing.
Keep
Glass Sword
Victoria Aveyard
I have had Red Queen on my physical shelves for quite a while and I am just not sure I will pick it up. I am sure I will at some point especially with my TBR game but as I have moved away from a lot of YA fantasy in recent months I think I may have missed my time for this series. Therefore I am going to remove this for just now but if I enjoy Red queen it may make its way back on.
Remove
Blue Blazes
Chuck Wendig
I have been meaning to read Wendig for some time now. And I have had this on my kindle for a while. I do like a good bit of Urban fantasy but usually I am focused on police procedural and this seems to follow the other side which could be interesting.
Keep
The Drafter
Kim Harrison
I honestly had no idea about this one when I cam across it, and reading the blurb i have no idea why I ever would have put it on a TBR. Romantic suspence isn’t really my thing at all.
Remove
The Gender Game
Bella Forrest
It has been quiet a while since I have read YA distopia and I think my time of being interesting in this genre has passed. While I think I will re-read some old favourites in the genre but I don’t think anything new will make it on to my TBR its just not for me anymore
Remove
Rebel of the Sands
Alwyn Hamilton
Ah I have been wanting to read this for so long! I really need to pick it up. I have been meaning to get it out of my library but it usually has a waiting list. I think this will go up in my wish list.
Keep
Adulthood is a Myth
Sarah Anderson
To be honest I think I have actually read this, or at least seen most of it online. I don’t think it is a must must read and I think I can remove it. While I do love comics esp little one of words of wisdom and relatable bursts like these I think they are more fun to dip in and out of than sit down and read cover to cover.
Remove
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
Douglas Adams
I am about to commit a crime and remove a book by one of my all time favourite authors from the list. I love Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. I grew up listening to my dad’s cassette recordings of the radio programme and reading the novel adaption. I own several copies of the novels and have the 42nd anniversary additions on my wish list. However, I just cant get into Dirk Gently! I have tried time and time again to read this book and just end up putting it down. I think I have to stop kidding myself and remove it from the TBR.
Remove
Whoo! I removed 5 out of the 10 books on the list! I think that is great. slowly but surely whittling down the list to books I am still interested in. Those that are still on the list are mostly series in progress that again just reminds me to keep trying to finish them. I think another focus on clearing series off of my TBR might be in order.
So we now have a total of 319 Books on my Want to read list.
I would love to chat all things bookish with you! You can comment down below or find me on Twitter or Goodreads!
Happy Reading!

Well done Fiona! The ones you have kept on the book sound great, I have some of them on my TBR already! I hope you get to read them soon!
