Goodreads TBR Cleanup #2

I saw this meme over on Dark Shelf of Wonders and thought it was such a neat idea, so I wanted to give it a try.
 
How It Works:
  • Go to your Goodreads want-to-read shelf.
  • Ask Siri to pick a number between 1 and however many books are on the list.
  • Go to that book and look at it and the 4 after it, for a total of 5.
  • Read the synopses of the books.
  • Decide: keep it or should it go?
  • Discuss here.
Original Creator: Mega Bunny Reads

The number I got was 2685 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 (I have a ridiculous amount of books on my TBR list. To be fair, there are a lot that I just put on there because I wanted to read them, not because I own them. And, also, there are a lot of Kindle Freebies.)


A Gathering Tempest: A Broken Tides Prequel by Catherine Jones Payne

This was a Kindle freebie. (It looks like it's still free.) I'm kinda on the fence with this one, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and keep it. It's been a while since I've read a mermaid story and this sounds interesting. And, also, since it's a short story, it won't take me too long to read it when I do get around to it.

VERDICT: Keep It


This is a definite keeper. This is a series I've been wanting to read for a while and I have no good excuse for why I haven't yet.

VERDICT: Keep It


This was another Kindle freebie. And, while I feel kinda bad doing this, I'm tossing it. It doesn't sound bad, but it's just not one I see myself reading anytime soon.

VERDICT: Toss It


This collection has an interesting premise and some really great authors, so I'm keeping it.

VERDICT: Keep It


This is another Kindle freebie. I'm kinda on the fence about it, but I think I'm gonna reluctantly toss it. My TBR list is just too big.

VERDICT: Toss It

Well, I did better this time. I got two books off of my TBR list. It's not a lot, but at least it's better than nothing.

    Yeah for clearing off some titles from your list. But I'm glad you kept Moon Called; Briggs' Mercy Thompson series is the best! :D

      I can't believe I still haven't read it! 🙈 It sounds awesome! I read a couple of Briggs' Alpha & Omega series and loved them. :D
