Hey guys! I am back with the 3rd installment of Down the TBR Hole!! In our last adventure down the TBR hole, we saw a plethora of books utilizing the dead parent trope… let’s hope we don’t run into that again.

If you don’t know how this TBR cleanse works, check out my first TBR post here to see the rules.

Anywayyyyy, let’s start this cleanse!

1. Messenger of Fear by Michael Grant

Added to my TBR on: September 1, 2014

I loved the Gone series, and I’m pretty sure I added this to my TBR right after reading it.

But, re-reading the synopsis now, this book doesn’t really catch my attention. It is something that I would probably have loved 3 or 4 years ago, but it’s not something I would pick up now.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

2. The Host by Stephanie Meyer

Added to my TBR on: December 28, 2015

Did I ever want to read it? No.

Am I ever going to read it? Not likely.

So I think you guys know where this one is heading…

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

3. The Guardian by Lee H. Haywood

Added to my TBR on: March 4, 2016

This is the first book I added to my TBR after I started blogging! (That I haven’t read already… just thought that was a cool little fact… hehe)

I think I added this one to my TBR because I interviewed Lee H. Haywood (check that out here). But I don’t really think I am ever going to pick this one up to read.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

4. Seer of the Souls by Susan Faw

Added to my TBR on: March 20, 2016

Not gonna lie… I completely forgot this book ever existed…

The synopsis does sound interesting, and I do love me some good fantasy…. but at the same time, I COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS BOOK EVEN EXISTED. Like seriously, I must not have been very interested in it to start. And after reading though some of the reviews, it seems like maybe this one isn’t really for me after all.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

5. Life in Reverse by Beth Michele

Added to my TBR on: March 24, 2016

Here is another example of a book that I completely forgot existed. Oops.

Also, I’m not a big fan of contemporary romance… so yeah.

What was I thinking?

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

6. Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

Added to my TBR on: March 29, 2016

I actually had a physical copy of this. A hard back copy. Sitting in my room. For so long.

Then I traded it on the books for trade hashtag on twitter.

So yeah.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

7. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

Added to my TBR on: March 29, 2016

After over a year of wanting to read this book….

I FINALLY DOWNLOADED THE AUDIOBOOK!!!!

So yeah, this one is going to be read. Or listened to? Or maybe both? I do have a paperback of it as well!

Verdict: Staying
Goodreads

8. Artificial by Jadah McCoy

Added to my TBR on: April 3, 2016

Okay but seriously, what is with all these books I don’t remember? I have absolutely zero recollection of this book existing. I don’t know how it ended up on my TBR….

This book does have a pretty high rating, but I don’t really think I’ll be reading any New Adult dystopia in the foreseeable future.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

9. Mer-Charmer by Amy Bearce

Added to my TBR on: April 3, 2016

This book does sound pretty interesting, but it is another one that I just don’t think I am ever going to pick up.

I love my mermaids, but I don’t think that I would enjoy this book as much as I would have a few years ago.

Verdict: Going
Goodreads

10. Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn

Added to my TBR on: April 3, 2016

I actually read this book back in middle school, and recently found my copy again. I guess I was thinking about this book about a year ago too, when I added it to my TBR.

I also recently re-read Wait Till Helen Comes (see my review here), and loved revisiting Hahn’s writing!

Verdict: Staying
Goodreads

And done!! Yet again I am so proud of myself! It feels so good to see that TBR number go down!
