TBR Intervention #3

TBR Intervention Challenge time! That moment when we get to organize our huge To Be Read piles and actually read those books we've been wanting to (or been supposed to) for the longest time! The challenge is hosted by April @ Books4Juliet, Dani @ Refracted Light and Ayanami @ Whatever You Can Still Betray, and it's hosted every Saturday, though you're free to join every two weeks if that's more convenient for you. As always, do join us! Here's the rules:

1. Post the book(s) you committed to read in your last TBR Intervention post and tell us something about it. Did you finish it? Did you enjoy it or not? Post the link to your review (if you have one). 

2. Post a book that you want to read and already own. Pick something that has been sitting on your shelf for too long now (6 months or longer). Commit to read the book in the next couple of days or week.

3. Grab the TBR Intervention Button and post it on your blog sidebar so you will be constantly reminded of the challenge, making it easier for you to commit. This will also encourage other readers/bloggers/visitors to join the challenge.

4. Add the link to your post in the Linky below and make sure to visit the other blogs. Comment, encourage, and spread the love to our fellow readers.

Okay, here I go with mine:

Last week's TBR IC: Success! 

I committed to reading Original Blood, which had been sitting on my files since August (yeah, shame on me, but in my defense... wait, I don't have one. Nevermind.) I enjoyed it, because the text is very carefully written - specially the parts from the past, they were like a different book altogether! However, and though the quality is amazing, I found it to be a bit too erotic. More on that coming Monday, when I post the review. 

This week's TBR IC:

So, I know I should pick books that have been sitting in my files forever and that I should read, but I finished my challenge a bit early this time and, as a prize, allowed myself to pick up Falling Under. I guess that makes it my first to-read book this week! Looking fairly okay, for now. It's about a sheltered girl falling in love with the wrong kind of guy... if he's even a human guy!

 

And now, because I think I can get through Fallung Under easily and because I won't cheat to the spirit of the challenge, I'm picking The Whole Truth, which was submitted for review and scheduled to go up by late November. It's a story about a guy who suddenly meets Truth in person, and about their adventures and discoveries. Sounds pretty interesting! 

And that's it for me. Not too bad, I think! What about you? How did your reading week turn out? What are your plans for the upcoming one?
