TBR Intervention Challenge (3)

Welcome to out 3rd TBRIC! How's your reading commitment last week? How many books are still there gathering dust on your bookshelves? Too many too count? Well, do you realized that we managed to pull out (at least) three books now? And hopefully, one or two more books by the end of this week! YAY! Congratulations!

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. 

MY LAST WEEK'S TBRIC:

FIRE (The Seven Kingdoms Trilogy #2)

By Kristin Cashore

I finished Fire yesterday morning (two books down, yipee!). It was a good read but Graceling is still my favorite between the two. The pacing of the story is too sloooow, and it's hard to get into it. I'll post my review soon.

THE BOOK I COMMIT TO READ THIS WEEK:

Nightshade (Nightshade #1)

Author: Andrea Cremer

Publication Date: October 19, 2010

Published By: Philomel

Genre/Category: Young Adult, Urban Fantasy

Summary on Goodreads:

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything- including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

ON MY SHELF SINCE: April 18, 2011

WHY I CHOOSE THIS BOOK: I accidentally bought this from Amazon Kindle while I was browsing for new books. I didn't notice the email notification... so two days later, I was shocked to see it on my kindle. I didn't intend to buy it but too late for a refund. I already started this book before but I couldn't get into the story... I think it's a bit slow for me. I'm going to give it another try. Wish me luck!

P.S. My last two books for TBRIC didn't turned out to be "that good" :( I gave Dreamhunter 2/5 and Fire 3/5. It's hard to enjoy my old books now. Do you think that our tastes in books improve over time?

I shouldn't let the books sit on my shelf and gather dust... I think I really need to control my buying indulgence! *sigh
