TBR Intervention Challenge (2)

TBR Intervention is a weekly challenge hosted by 

Dani@RefractedLight , 

Ayanami@Whatever you Can Still Betray, 

and April@Books4Juliet

The goal of this challenge is to help each other (fellow readers and bloggers) manage our enormous and constantly growing TBR (To-Be-Read) List. The rules are simple and everyone is encouraged to participate. It does not force you to commit to more than what you can manage to read in a week or so, but participants are encouraged to read at least one book within a week. You are free to choose the book you want to read and commit to this challenge. You may post your entry every Saturday, at the frequency of your choice--EVERY WEEK or EVERY TWO WEEKS. However, we will sponsor this event regularly every Saturday. 

Here are 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. 

Hello again fellow readers and bloggers! Today is the second week of TBR Intervention Challenge. Thank you to all who participated last week. If you're new to the challenge, I welcome you with open arms!

So, how's your TBR list today? Were you able to finish your book/s that you committed last week? Are you ready for your next TBRIC book? Let's hop!

MY LAST WEEK'S TBRIC:

Dreamhunter (Dreamhunter Duet #1)
By Elizabeth Knox

I am relieved to have finally finished this book. Sadly though, I didn't enjoy it. I had a hard time reading this book, and I just want to give up most of the time. The writing style didn't work out for me and I can't get myself into the story. I already have the book 2: Dreamquake, but I'm not yet ready to read it. I'll post my review soon.

THE BOOK I COMMIT TO READ THIS WEEK:

Fire (The Seven Kingdoms #2)

Author: Kristin Cashore

Publication Date: September 24, 2009

Published By: Gollancz

Genre/Category: Young Adult, Fantasy

Summary on Goodreads:

Beautiful creatures called monsters live in the Dells. Monsters have the shape of normal animals: mountain lions, dragonflies, horses, fish. But the hair or scales or feathers of monsters are gorgeously colored-- fuchsia, turquoise, sparkly bronze, iridescent green-- and their minds have the power to control the minds of humans. 

Seventeen-year-old Fire is the last remaining human-shaped monster in the Dells. Gorgeously monstrous in body and mind but with a human appreciation of right and wrong, she is hated and mistrusted by just about everyone, and this book is her story.

ON MY SHELF SINCE:  May 15, 2010

WHY I CHOOSE THIS BOOK: I loved GRACELING (The Seven Kingdoms #1) and I love the characters the author created. I enjoyed that book so much that's why I eagerly bought FIRE. This was a companion novel (a prequel) to Graceling. I think that it wasn't originally a series, but I learned recently that Graceling and Fire are two in The Seven Kingdoms novels by Kristin Cashore. BITTERBLUE is the 3rd book that will be released on 2012.

P.S.

I'm going to be away today until tomorrow. I'll be on the road most of the time, so this means NO INTERNET for me =( I won't be able to reply/comment as early as I want to, but I promise to visit your posts once I get back =) Enjoy the TBRIC today! Good luck!
