So Down the TBR Hole took a little break, but I’m back at it again. I’ve realised I’m not going to have this sorted by 2018 but .. I can just work at it anyway. This is book 171-196 of the TBR pile. My TBR is currently at 453 books. As always, I’m mentioning this tag was created by Lost in a Story ! Honestly with 25 books to go through these are getting long so lets just just straight into it
172: City of Ghosts by V.E Schwab: Um … you’re just gonna pitch a book to me as stranger things meets ghost hunters and think I won’t read it? Think again. Verdict: it’s staying I’m keen
173: A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty: This books sounds quirky but the reviews are so mixed … I want to read more OzYA though so I think I’ll keep it for now Verdict: keeping

175: One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None Of This Will Matter by Scaachi Koul: I don’t usually read lots of essays and this collection doesn’t have particularly high ratings .. but I kinda feel like I SHOULD read it.

176: The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub: This author Hate is Such a Strong Word, which I really liked, and so I want to read more of her stuff, but this has really mixed reviews and has been on my tbr for ages and I’ve never even thought to pick it up. So I’m not sure I’ll ever get to it. Verdict: delete from tbr

Until next time!
