TBR Intervention Challenge (8)

Hi everyone! Welcome to the eighth week to the TBR Intervention Challenge.
One less book on our shelves! Yay!


TBRIC is 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.


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 TBRIC
Hex Hall, Rachel Hawkins

First of all, this time I'm posting the right spanish cover, the one I loved (last week I posted the cover of the second book).
I loved this book, it was really refreshing. I love the POV of Sophie, she's so funny!
I think I'll read the next book soon, fortunately I already have it.
The only think I didn't like was that it reminds me a little of the Evernight series by Claudia Gray, not in the writing but in the outcome of the mysteries.
Besides it's a 5 stars book...
You can see my review "Here" (SPANISH)




The book that I'm commiting to read.

Glimmerglass, Jenna Black


Lately I've been reading fairy books, and I have to say, for me, the descriptions are the most important part in this kind of book... I tries with A modern faerie tale, Wondrous strange and The iron fey, so I decided this is the time for The faerie walker (because I know April loved it)

Summary from Goodreads.
It's all she's ever wanted to be, but it couldn't be further from her grasp...
Dana Hathaway doesnt know it yet, but shes in big trouble. When her alcoholic mom shows up at her voice recital drunk, again, Dana decides shes had enough and runs away to find her mysterious father in Avalon: the only place on Earth where the regular, everyday world and the captivating, magical world of Faerie intersect. But from the moment Dana sets foot in Avalon, everything goes wrong, for it turns out she isn't just an ordinary teenage girl, she's a Faeriewalker, a rare individual who can travel between both worlds, and the only person who can bring magic into the human world and technology into Faerie...

The white cat, Holly Black

After reading A modern faerie tale, I've been loving Holly's writing.
I don't know much about this book, I already start to read the first pages, but I'm not still in the story.
Hope I can finish it!
To see the summary go "Here"






Happy reading to all of you!!
