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).
1. Post the book(s) you committed to read in your last TBR Intervention post and tell us something about it. Did you finish
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.
Last Weeks TBR Book:
The Catastrophic History of You and Me
Author: Jess RothenbergSo I didn't get a chance to read this before I had to return it to the library (someone put a hold on it, so I couldn't recheck it out). So I'll make sure to get it read the next time I can get my hands on it. I also have my Review of All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin up!
This week I'm committing to read:
Dear Bully
Author: Various Authors
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Discover how Lauren Kate transformed he feeling of that one mean girl getting under her skin into her first novel, how Lauren Oliver learned to celebrate ambiguity in her classmates and in herself, and how R.L. Stine turned being the "funny guy" into the best defense against the bullies in his class.
Today's top authors for teens come together to share their stories about bullying—as silent observers on the sidelines of high school, as victims, and as perpetrators—in a collection at turns moving and self-effacing, but always deeply personal.
