TBR Intervention #8

 I love this meme. It actually helps me! There are weeks like this one, where it might seem like, uh, things didn't get done, but... It motivates me to get my reading done, to review the books I read on time, and to be organized about what I need to get done! Okay, and now that my own promotional ramble is out...


It's TBR Intervention Challenge time! 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. 

 

And here's how I did this week:

• Last week's TBR IC: Partial Success!

 

 

But I have an excuse! I committed to read Time of the Awakening, which had been submitted for review, but I had a problem with the format that solved itself in... Well, in me not being able to read on my reader. Which left me with my tabletop. Which means that I have much less time to read, and that doing so kills my back. Added to the fact that it's a fantasy classic, with its more than 500 pages... progress is slow. But I'm making it.

 

 

 

 

My other read, Vengeance, was finished and reviewed here. I really liked it, and it made me super curious about Transced Time #2! 

I even went and read three other books so that you'd not call me lazy and kick me off the challenge... but since the reviews won't be up for a good while, I won't post about that much. 

 

•  Next Week TBR IC: 

 

 

 

 

I'm stubborn. I'm sticking to Time of the Awakening. I'll also try to get Existence in there, because it's a book about a girl who falls in love with Death and that must be super cool. And the guy on the cover is gorgeous, which is always a bonus!
