Down The TBR Hole # 41-60

I had so much fun doubling up last week that I decided to make it a thing. So welcome to Down The TBR Hole #41-60.  What is Down The TBR Hole, you ask?  It is where I grab 20 books from my ridiculously long TBR list on GoodReads and decide if I am keeping or removing the books.  Want to catch up? Click here to go to the last post.  As a reminder, here are the rules:

I am starting with 4,676 books this week, and honestly, I have a ton on my kindle app just waiting for me to add to my TBR list.  But maybe I should wait until I remove some more first.  Or I could read them and then they won’t ever have to make it to this list.  I’ll try that one.  Let’s get started.


You saw another one of Katie Orr’s studies last week.  I have had the pleasure of doing the Philippians study with Katie and love the FOCUSed15 method.  I can always use some peace in my life, so I am keeping this one.


I believe I got this book one month in my Sparkle Hustle Grow box.  I don’t subscribe to it anymore, but it was great getting a new book each month.  Most of the time, they were geared towards business owners.  I have heard good things about Max Lucado, so I look forward to reading this book.  I am keeping it.


Apparently, I own this book.  But I am not interested in reading it.  I am removing it and maybe one day since I own the physical copy, I will get to it.


4. Critical Chain by Eliyahu M. Goldratt

This book was going to be a book club read, but we never made it to this one.  I honestly don’t think it will be something I want to read, so I am going to be removing it.


I think I heard about Ken Costa from a podcast; I’m not sure which one.  I always see his books on my shelf and say I need to read them, and it just hasn’t happened yet.  I am keeping this one even though I am not in a traditional work environment at the moment; it may still come in hand.


I am okay on calling books for a while, so I am removing this one.


I always love a good book that can help me dig deeper into the Word, and I am a fan of Rick Warren.  He is a great Bible teacher, so I am keeping this one.


Marriage is the hardest thing I have ever done so I will take all the knowledge and wisdom anyone has on marriage.  I am keeping this one.


I am not sure where this book came from or how it ended up on my list.  I’m removing this one.


This book has been recommended quite a bit in some groups I am in on Facebook.  Unfortunately, when I downloaded it on Hoopla and started to read it, I couldn’t get into it.  Maybe it just wasn’t the right season.  I’m removing it.


11. Insights on Romans by Charles R. Swindoll

This commentary was added when I took a free Romans from Dallas Theological Seminary.  I didn’t end up needing the book, so I’m removing it.


I absolutely loved The Magnolia Story by the Gaines, so it was a must that I added Chip’s book to my list.  He is so funny on the show and in the book, but it’s also clear how smart he is. I am keeping this one.


This starts my long list of Lysa TerKeurst books.  I love her.  I’ve had the pleasure of hearing her teach.  I’ve enjoyed I believe 1 or 2 of her books.  But the last book I read from her, I did not enjoy as much as I expected.  Which makes me wary of the others.  With that said, I am removing this one.


Although I do love food, its not that big of an issue for me to read a book about overcoming it.  I do have a physical copy of this book though, so maybe one day I will read it, but for now, I am removing it.


I am the first to admit that I sometimes let my emotions get the best of me.  Even though I know I am not to be led by them.  So I am keeping this one to learn more about how to control them.


This is her newest book, and I already resonate with the title so much I know I will be reading this one hopefully soon.  I am keeping it on the list.


I am removing this one.


I am removing this one.


I have always been such a big believe in hard work and that getting you where you need to go.  Which is probably how this book ended up on my list.  Now I believe you can do what you are passionate about AND work hard.  So even though this is on almost all recommended list, I am removing it.


This book has me on the fence.  The reviews are some good and some bad.  But the synopsis is just mysterious enough that it makes me want to read more.  It seems like it will be more of a philosophy book, and I haven’t had much luck with those lately.  But I’m keeping it, and we will see.

Final Count: Removing 11; Keeping 9

TBR down to 4,665
