Down the TBR Hole 25

TBRHole

(An occasional series… 😬)

This is a meme started by Lia at Lost in a Story. The “rules” are:

Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
Order on ascending date added.
Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) 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?

I’m modifying this a little since my to-read shelf is a mess of books that are mostly in storage. Instead, I’m going to look at my wishlist—all those books I add on a whim during my travels around the book blogging community—and weed out the ones that don’t quite sound as good now. The “keepers” I’m going to look for at online libraries or add to my Amazon wishlist.

	Call for the Dead by John le Carré I keep meaning to read some of the George Smiley books, but I am rarely in the mood for spy/thrillers. But KEEP, because occasionally I AM in the mood for a spy/thriller. If only Goodreads would let me filter by genre tags…
	Chef Maurice and the Wrath of Grapes by J.A. Lang The next two books on my list are books #2 & #3 of the Chef Maurice series. I’m KEEPing both. I really enjoyed the first and I’ll get to more.
	Giving Up the Ghosts: Short-Lived Occult Detective Series by Six Renowned Authors by Tim Prasil (editor) Occult detectives are a jam I don’t indulge in often enough. KEEP.
	A Meditation on Murder by Robert Thorogood I started watching the Death in Paradise series and I didn’t care for it. There are other series that I haven’t been reading (see above), so… GO.
	The Modern Supernatural and the Beginnings of Cinema by Murray Leeder I love that special effects are really as old as photography and cinematography and I want to learn more about them. KEEP.
