Down the TBR Hole... #2

Most of you probably know this feeling, your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about and why you added them. Well that’s going to change!

It works like this:

○ Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.

○ Order on ascending date added.

○ Take the first 5 (or 10 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?

Hi all, it has seriously been FOREVER since I have been able to write up a blog post. But I hope that is about to change.

When I am not reading, blogging, scrolling through bookstagram or thinking about books, I love to stalk other people’s Goodreads and try to find new book to add to my never ending TBR. To clarify, I have a LOT of books on Goodreads.

When I was going through bookish weekly posts and saw this, I knew it was the right thing to post on my blog. Lia from Lost in a Story started this meme/tag and you should go and check out her original post HERE!

Now let’s get started!

Slammed by Colleen Hoover | Book Review

Slammed by Colleen Hoover

Overview of the Book:

I never thought I would like poetry, I never thought I would have a book impact me in the way that this one did. But sometimes, the unexpected happens. We cannot have control over the uncontrollable.

With the most uncontrollable thing being the matters and feelings of the heart. So when I say that my heart adored this book. That’s not something to take lightly.

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

After setting the scene with a multitude of well placed and relevant flashbacks, Bracken takes the reader on a journey through a world where children are rather killed off by a terrifying illness, or they become enhanced with super-human abilities.

Divided by their abilities, Ruby has lived six years pretending to be something she isn’t. But when she is broken out of one of the many ‘prison like’ training camps. She must learn to survive, master her powers and place her loyalties in the right hands.

This book is such an incredible book, so just click ‘read more’ to see my review!
