Last Weeks TBR Book:

Hemlock (Hemlock #1)

Author: Kathleen Peacock

This book is really good! I enjoyed it! I don't know why I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it but I'm glad I did! My review will be up later. I still have to make my Stacking The Shelves video for today and I have to finish writing my review of The Girl Of Fire And Thorns (since I finished that before I finished Hemlock). So It'll be a little bit before my review of Hemlock goes up. I'm hopeful I'll have it up by 3 or 4 (Mountain Time - AZ). I'll link it up when I get it posted! (And if any of your are wondering, The Girl Of Fire And Thorns was great as well.)






This week I'm committing to read: 

Blood Red Road (Dustlands #1)

Author: Moira Young

Blurb from Goodreads:

Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around. But when a monster sandstorm arrives, along with four cloaked horsemen, Saba's world is shattered. Lugh is captured, and Saba embarks on an epic quest to get him back.

Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the world outside of desolate Silverlake, Saba is lost without Lugh to guide her. So perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Saba learns about herself: she's a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. And she has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization.

Blood Red Road has a searing pace, a poetically minimal writing style, violent action, and an epic love story. Moira Young is one of the most promising and startling new voices in teen fiction.

I've had this on my TBR pile for months and I'm tired of putting it off! I know a bunch of people love this book and I finally wanna get to it! So I'll be reading it this week!

Last Weeks TBR Book:

Dear Bully

Author: Various Authors


I really enjoyed this book! It definitely a book I think everyone should read. Whether you've been the bully or the victim of a bully theres a story in this book you can relate to, I guarantee it! I found myself relating to several different stories. 

Review: Dear Bully: 70 Authors Tell Their Stories 






 
This week I'm committing to read:

Hemlock (Hemlock #1) 

Author: Kathleen Peacock

Blurb from Goodreads:

Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.

Since then, Mac’s life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac’s hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy’s killer: A white werewolf.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy’s boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Kathleen Peacock’s thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.

Ok, So I've had an ARC of this for a few months now since I won it from Harper. I've been meaning to fit it in but I just havent had the time. And since I'm participating in a read-a-thon this week and I have this on my TBR for it I figured it being my TBR Intervention would give me the extra push to make sure I finish it this week!

Last Weeks TBR Book:

Dear Bully

Author: Various Authors


I'm about halfway through this book. I keep having to stop because some of the stories are intense or something I can relate to and it just makes me have to stop and think. And I've been having a lot of stuff going on this week (mostly car trouble, on multiple days) so I haven't had much time to read this week. I've only finished one full book and half of this one. So I'm gonna keep this as my book for the next week. But just so you guys know, its really good so far. Definitely something I think everyone needs to read.

Last Weeks TBR Book: 

The Catastrophic History of You and Me

Author: Jess Rothenberg

So 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.

I've been wanting to read this for awhile. I always love reading books that deal with everyday issues and this just sounds amazing since its author stories about bullying. I cant wait to get into it!

Last Weeks TBR Book:

All These Things I've Done (Birthright #1)

Author: Gabrielle Zevin

I really enjoyed this. I thought this book was great especially with how Anya had to deal with being the daughter of a crime lord (I think that's what they call it). It wasn't easy for her at all but she deal with everything that came her way. I loved how Anya was really dedicated to protecting her family. I think that was the thing I liked most about this book besides Win (who sounds pretty cute). I know I'm getting this up late so I apologize. I had to have my car tested yesterday because it gave me a problem again so I was dealing with that so I didnt have the time to get this all up yesterday. I promise my review will be up this week though (since I didnt get to write it yesterday it has to wait til at least Friday to go up since I already have other reviews scheduled.) So I'll leave the link for my review in next weeks TBR post.

This week I'm committing to read:

The Catastrophic History of You and Me

Author: Jess Rothenberg

Blurb from GoodReads:

Dying of a broken heart is just the beginning.... Welcome to forever.

BRIE'S LIFE ENDS AT SIXTEEN: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart—literally.

But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend has been keeping a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost—and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul . . . who just might hold the key to her forever after.

With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the five stages of grief before she's ready to move on. But how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces?

I've been looking forward to reading this for a while. It sounds really good and since I need to return it to the library later this upcoming week I wanna fit it in so I don't have to renew it (again). Lol.

Last weeks TBR book:

Lola and the Boy Next Door

Author: Stephanie Perkins

I love love loved this book!!! Cricket!!! I love this boy! I still love Etienne more (for now) but Cricket comes in at a close second. He is just so sweet and adorable and just omg!!! I loved his and Lola's cute little nightime talks through their windows and just what Cricket did for Lola when he could. I just think he is freakin awesome (am I fan girling here? cuz I feel like I'm fangirling a little. Lol.) Anyways I just thought this book overall was fantastic.

I got my reviews of Lola & If I Die (which I've been promising for two weeks now) up! Yay! And I've pretty much caught up on reviewing finally (all except like one book). So yay for that as well!!! I haven't finished Shine yet though because I ended up reading Fifty Shades of Grey instead of that so.. Lol. Well. I'll link up my reviews for you. :)

Review: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Review: If I Die by Rachel Vincent

This week I'm committing to read:

All These Things I've Done (Birthright #1)

Author: Gabrielle Zevin

Blurb from Goodreads:

In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family. 

Engrossing and suspenseful, All These Things I've Done is an utterly unique, unputdownable read that blends both the familiar and the fantastic.

I've been checking this out on and off from the library for months now cuz I really want to read it but I've just been slacking on fitting it into my schedule. I've heard its pretty good and plus I know the second book in this series is going to be coming out in the next couple of months so I really wanna read it before then.

I did finally read it! I really really enjoyed it! Definitely wanting Before I Wake now! I have no idea when I'll have my review up for you guys though! I'm like 4 reviews behind and at the moment If I Die's review is 4th in line. So maybe by next weekend? Oh, and remember my trip? I had a ton of fun on it! I'll be making a post about it (probably on my personal blog though) and I'll post the link to it so you guys can check out the fun I had at the Lake! 

 






This week I'm committing to read:

Lola and the Boy Next Door

Author: Stephanie Perkins

Blurb from Goodreads:

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

When Cricket -- a gifted inventor -- steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

I've had this on my shelf for probably about 7 months at least? I've been wanting so badly to read it but I just haven't made the time. And quite honestly I'm sick of looking at it and wishing I could fit it in. Now I'm making room for it! Lol.

This Week I'm Committing To Read: 

If I Die (Soul Screamers #5)

Author: Rachel Vincent

Blurb from Goodreads:

The entire school's talking about the gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck. Everyone except Kaylee Cavanaugh. After all, Kaylee's no ordinary high-school junior. She's a banshee—she screams when someone dies.

But the next scream might be for Kaylee.

Yeah—it's a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee's going to save every girl in school. Because that hot new teacher is really an incubus who feeds on the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend's needy ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren't quite human, either.

But Kaylee's borrowed lifeline is nearing its end. And those who care about her will do anything to save her life.

Anything.

Ok, so I'm finally back into doing my TBR Intervention posts since my Hiatus (I think I missed like two or three weeks). So I'm going to read the fifth book in the soul screamers series (Finally). I've had this checked out from the library for like 9 weeks now??? I've been really wanting to get to it I just haven't made time for it for some reason even though I've wanted to! I'm also determined to finish it before "Before I Wake" comes out later this month!

I haven't even started this yet... I've been too busy reading some other books and catching up on them, such as the 4th & 5th books in the Soul Screamers Series. And of course I had to start City of Lost Souls when it came in so this just kinda got put off this week.

TBR Intervention Challenge [#30]

TBR Intervention is a weekly challenge hosted by Dani@RefractedLight, Anayami@Whatever You Can Still Betray & 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.

Last weeks TBR book:

Struck (Struck #1)

Author: Jennifer Bosworth

I really enjoyed this! I loved the story about Mia being a lightning addict and the fight between the two groups trying to get Mia on their side. It was a pretty good story! I got my review written this time! Oh, and I'm also gonna link my review of Dearly, Departed since I didn't have it up last week for you. (And I'll even through in my link of my review of Insurgent so any of you that wanna fangirl with me over it can! Lol.)

Review: Struck by Jennifer Bosworth

This week I'm committing to read:

Fateful

Author: Claudia Gray

Blurb from Goodreads:

A tragic tale about falling in love on the world’s most infamous ill-fated sea voyage as heroine, Tess, discovers darker secrets that lie beneath the doomed crossing… and a hidden brotherhood that threaten to tear her lover from her forever.

The RMS Titanic is the most luxurious ship ever built, but for eighteen-year-old Tess Davies it’s a prison. Travelling as a maid for the family she has served for years, Tess is trapped in their employ amid painful memories and family secrets.

When she meets Alec, a handsome upper class passenger, Tess falls helplessly in love. But Alec has secrets of his own… and soon Tess is entangled in a dangerous game. A sinister brotherhood that will do anything to induct Alec into their mystical order has followed him onboard. And Tess is now their most powerful pawn.

Tess and Alec fight the dark forces threatening to tear them apart, never realising that they will have to face an even greater peril before the journey is over…

New York Times best-selling author Claudia Gray delivers adventure, dark paranormal suspense, alluring romance, and a truly surprise ending, set against the opulent backdrop of the Titanic's first — and last — voyage.

I've had Fateful on my shelf now for almost 6 months. I've been really wanting to read it, especially since I'm a sucker for anything Titanic related! FYI, Titanic is one of my fave movies ever. I cant wait to finally get into!
