Meme, Anyone? TBR Intervention!

Can’t stop yourself from compulsively adding books to your TBR on Goodreads?

 

Do books you had every good intention to read go untouched — left to the dust bunnies on your shelf  or buried in samples on Kindle — bypassed for other books that have caught your eye?

 

Do you often feel overwhelmed when choosing a new book to read?

 

Do you feel a brief pang of guilt thinking of your lonely, dusty book pile every time you go to the book store to buy that brand new release you’ve been dying for, because you really, really shouldn’t buy anymore books?

 

 

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you my friend, like me have a problem, and it’s time for a TBR Intervention.

 

April @ Books4Juliet, Ayanami @ Whatever You Can Still Betray, and Refracted Light have teamed up to bring you TBR Intervention — a weekly or bi-weekly reading challenge/hop that will hopefully help us dust off some of those books that never quite make it to the top of our stacks.   A BIG THANK YOU to April for heading this up and doing most of the legwork on making this challenge a reality!

 

This blog event will take place every Saturday, and will start OCTOBER 15TH!

 

 

Official blurb and rules:

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope to see you there!
