[Meme] TBR Intervention Week #15

The TBR (To Be Read) Intervention Challenge is a weekly challenge hosted by Books4Juliet, Whatever You Can Sill Betray and Refracted Light.

The following information is posted on Refracted Light's blog:

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.

Last Week's TBR:

I still haven't finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone yet. But I only have a few chapters left. I am determined to finish it this week for sure!

But I did finish Mary, Bloody Mary for my Tudor Challenge. It was much better than I expected it to be, and it was very interesting to read about Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn through the eyes of Henry's daughter Mary Tudor. I loved it so much I plan on devouring the whole series in the very near future. I also decided to pick up (and devour) Under the Never Sky for the DAC Challenge. I had heard pretty good things about this book, and I was not disappointed.

I also finally posted a new review after my hiatus. Check out my review for Incarnate by Jodi Meadows. Such and amazing book!

This Week's TBR:

This week I WILL finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (for the Harry Potter 2012 Challenge). I also plan on reading Anne Rice's The Wolf Gift in preparation for her visit to Toronto on the 13th and Embrace by Jessica Shirvington as I have been scheduled for blog tour posts on the 17th (guest post) and 20th (review). I'm so excited! The week after that I'll get back to Drowning Instinct and the Soul Screamers series. I also need to get started on my Sophomore Challenge...

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

Last Week's TBR:

I still haven't finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone yet. I'm only reading it at home because I had this strong urge to write down every character's name the first time they show up and track it in a spreadsheet to see what I missed during my first reading of the series. Not sure if I will keep it up though as it does take the fun out of the reading.

But I did finish both The Young Black Stallion (for my Black Stallion Challenge) and Incarnate for the DAC Challenge and January mini challenge (DAC eBook). Incarnate was FABULOUS! I recommend it to everyone. It's going to be one of those books I rave about this year. Stunning.

I still haven't brought myself to do any reviews yet, but after reading and really enjoying Incarnate I have been re-inspired to write some reviews for next week.

This Week's TBR:

This week I hope to finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (for the Harry Potter 2012 Challenge), it's really about time... Other than that I'm not quite sure what I want to read next, I have a lot to choose from! For one, I would like to read one of the books for the Tudor Challenge I am participating, and I think the first one will be Mary, Bloody Mary. I think I will also read the NetGalley I have for Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick.

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

But I did have a busy reading week otherwise, I read Wither as well as My Soul to Lose and My Soul to Take, books 0.5 and 1 in the Soul Screamers series, which I am reading for the Soul Screamers challenge. I am so glad I joined this challenge because I am LOVING these books!

I still haven't brought myself to do any reviews yet, but with my reading enjoyment returning I hope to get one or two up for some older books next week.

This Week's TBR:

This week I hope to finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (for the Harry Potter 2012 Challenge), and start The Young Black Stallion (for my Black Stallion Challenge). I also plan on reading Incarnate for the DAC Challenge and January mini challenge (DAC eBook) and then hopefully get back to the Soul Screamers series.

Last (2) Week's TBR:

So, I haven't done a TBR post this year. To be honest, with a lot of the reviewer/author/agent crap going around the past few weeks I haven't much felt like reading and books for review. I have been in such a reading funk that I pick something up, read a few pages, and put it back down. I'm not finding joy in much of anything. I'm not sure when I am going to get back into it either. So right now I am reading for me, and as such I see more dusty reads coming of my shelf. Books that I have sidelined in order to read those review copies I have been receiving. Maybe one the fires settle a bit I might pick it up again. Time will tell. I still have to get the review out for the ones I have read. I just haven't had the mental energy...so that being said...

I did finish Cinder. It was pretty good, not as amazing as I have heard others state, but enjoyable none-the-less. Then, to just take a breather I pull my Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 2 off my shelf and just enjoyed the pure prettiness of it. It was great. I also stumbled across this real gem of a vampire story when I agreed to participate in a blog tour. Crossroads by J.J. Bonds was a fabulous read and I recommend to all vampire lovers.

This Week's TBR:

As to what I want to read this week, I really don't know...I hope to be able to finish Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (for the Harry Potter 2012 Challenge), or start The Young Black Stallion (for my Black Stallion Challenge). But other than that I think I will just read whatever catches my eye...

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

Last Week's TBR:

I finished Blood Rights, and it was amazing! I am so glad it was a great read. I really needed that after Archon. As I suspected, with the exam studying I didn't get much reading in, but I did start Cinder. I'm not very far into it yet, but it is intriguing.

This Week's TBR:

I hope to be able to finish Cinder, but again, with the studying, I'm not guaranteeing anything. If I happen to finish that I will pick ONE of the three following books: Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi (since I found the release date was moved up from February to January 3rd), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (for the Harry Potter 2012 Challenge), or The Young Black Stallion (for my Black Stallion Challenge).

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

Last Week's TBR:

I finally finished Archon. That was a lot like work and I'm still not completely sure how I feel about it. It was such a heavy complicated read. I hope to get a review up soon. I also whipped off a quick Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Volume 2 read just for pure indulgence.

This Week's TBR:

After the semi-fiasco that was Archon I didn't feel like I was ready for another angel related book, so instead I started Blood Rights by Kristen Painter. It is amazing and I should be finishing it any day now. Once I finish that I am going to read Cinder finally as the publication date is fast approaching! I am home for 2 weeks studying for my Calculus final, so I might not get much extra reading in (because I usually do most of that type of reading during my commute) but I will try!

Last Week's TBR:

I still haven't finished Archon. It is such a complicated read it feels almost like work to read it. It's good, but just takes a lot of focus to concentrate. I will finish it this week for sure.

This Week's TBR:

So...what to do this week? I know I am finally going to finish Archon. That's my main goal. Other than that I have one review due around the 27th for Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly so that's my second goal (although I'm not sure how I feel about any more angel related books right now... That's all I'm aiming for this week. With my last week of work before holidays and an upcoming Calculus exam on January 7th I'm not thinking much beyond that or my brain might liquefy...

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

Last Week's TBR:

As promised, finished Dead Politician Society and even posted up the review for it! I started Archon but have not finished it. It seems to be a very heavy and complicated read and may take some time.

This Week's TBR:

So...what to do this week? I really hope to finish Archon. After that I have some more reviews coming up so I think I am going to have to skip the Goodreads club read and dive straight into them. The ones due soon are  On A Dark Wing, Cinder, Switched and Alienation. So those are the ones coming up!

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.

This Week's TBR:

So...what to do this week? I have Dead Politician Society for a blog tour post on December 9th. After that I am going to read the ARC of Archon that Shannon at HarperCollins kindly sent me after seeing my Waiting on Wednesday post about it. If I finish that I will most likely start Daughter of Smoke and Bone for the Goodreads club read.

These books are my goals for this week's TBR Intervention Challenge.
