Cleaning Up My TBR With a Giveaway (US Only) – Down the TBR Hole #65

I’m going to at least follow through with the giveaways for the rest of the month, this is the last one for March. Of course things are changing with having to be locked down in our homes, or just staying home I guess. So I will get out to mail gifts. And maybe I’ll add an international giveaway of a $5 book at The Book Depository or $5 Amazon gift card for those who can get that? What do you think? I am going to do like I did last week, just list them and link to them. With a sentence or two why I’m keeping them. That seemed to go a little faster anyway.

Books I’m Keeping:

1. Give Up the Ghost by Megan Crewe – I like this author and I feel she isn’t as well known, so I don’t want to forget about this one.
2. Rival: A Feuds Novella by Avery Hastings – I like to keep novellas on my list to read because I enjoyed the series.
3. Untot – Pausensnack (Undead #1.5) by Kirsty McKay – Okay, right now it only shows as being available in German, but I really hope it will be in English some day for me to read because I loved this series!
4. Squeal by Enoch St. John – the Lord of the Flies vibe makes me still want to read this one
5. The Collector’s Society by Heather Lyons – I like this type of story
6. Twin Roses by Sarah Cross – Love the series, so need to read this novella!
7. Undivided by Neal Shusterman – Need to finish this series!
8. Redemption by Julie Chibbaro – I loved this author’s book about Typhoid Mary, so want to read all her books!

Books I’m Tossing:

1. Bird by Tami Egonu
2. Atlantia by Ally Condie – I like this author, but don’t know that I’ll get to this. If I do, I think it is a big enough title I’ll remember it without leaving it on my TBR.
3. dEaDINBURGH: Vantage by Mark Wilson – Uh, sounds awful close to what’s going on today, but not going to get to it
4. Girl Online by Zoe Sugg
5. The Siren’s Cry by Jennifer Anne Kogler – I only gave the first book 3 stars, so probably won’t worry about this sequel.
6. Adapting Eden by Victoria Hoyt – has horrible ratings on Goodreads, so probably won’t mess with this sequel, also there were a lot of issues with the first book, so that makes it even less something I want to read.
7. Anatomy of a Single Girl by Daria Snadowsky – never read the first book, and that one isn’t even on my TBR either.
8. Hear by Jacqueline Abelson
9. Chasing Power by Sarah Beth Durst
10. Crown of Ice by Vicki L. Weavil
11. The Remnants by Anna Scanlon
12. Twinfinity: Nethermore by Chris Podhola
13. Descent by Kallie Ross
14. First World Problems by LeighAnn Kopans – never read the first one which is also not even on my TBR.
15. One by LeighAnn Kopans
16. Parallel Visions by Cheryl Rainfield – I’m only taking it off my TBR list on Goodreads. This is a pretty big author, popular with one of the teachers at my school, so I’ll try to read this some time.
17. Slow Dance in Purgatory by Amy Harmon
18. Blood Type by Melissa Luznicky Garrett – a holdover from the time I was always reading vampire books? Also have the sequel on the list so I’ll take it off too.
19. Found by Brenda L. Harper
20. Naming Jack the Ripper by Russell Edwards – as fascinated as I am by all the theories and evidence, I just don’t think I’ll get to this one.
21. Thirty-Two Going on Spinster by Becky Monson – I’m well past that, officially a spinster at the age of 47
22. Dead Girl Walking by Ruth Silver

Final Thoughts:

Keeping 8 this week, but I did go through 30, 31 technically, compared to my usual 20. Last week I had 3,006 books left on my Goodreads TBR. I’m tossing 23 this week, but I did add a few through Wednesday posts, so that is leaving me at 2,986 on my Goodreads TBR list. I’m below the 3,000 mark! Yay!
