TBR Intervention Challenge (5)

TBR Intervention is a weekly challenge hosted by  April @ Books4Juliet, Dani @ Refracted Light and Ayanami @ Whatever You Can Still Betray

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, grab the button and make sure to visit the other blogs. Comment, encourage, and spread the love to our fellow readers.

THE BOOK I COMMITTED TO READ:

Voices of Dragons

by Carrie Vaughn

in my pile since March 2011

Eh, my review is up (see here) so I won't gush here but I will say that it was worth reading it, it was worth waking up early on a Saturday morning to finish it in time for me to put it up before TBRIC and I'm kicking myself why I haven't read it earlier.

THE BOOK I COMMIT TO READ THIS WEEK:

Wither

by Lauren DeStefano

in my pile since April 2011

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Obviously, something went terribly wrong. Genetic mutations have festered, reducing human longevity to twenty-five, even less for most women. To prevent extinction, young girls are kidnapped, mated in polygamous marriages with men eager to procreate. Sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery, a recent victim of this breeding farm mentality, has vowed to break loose from its fetters; but finding allies and a safe way out is a challenge she can only hope she will survive. A dystopian fantasy series starter with wings.

Maybe it is time to get cracking on those dystopian novels I have lying around.  Truth be told, I got Wither because I was curious about what all the hullabaloo about - and the cover's gorgeous. So, yes, I will give this a try.

P.S.

Yes, yes, I know I promised to put my review of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms last Monday but I was caught up with the first week of school so... yeah.  I will!... One of these days.
