Welcome to the TBR Intervention Challenge!

1.) I finished Wander Dust! Yay me! I don’t have a review up yet, but I will say it was super interesting, the love interest was super dreamy and the world-building/mythology very well done. I also finished Eve, my TBRIC from a couple weeks ago. It was good, and I liked the fact that the author created circumstances with real and lasting consequences, but I just couldn’t connect with Eve’s character and the ending seemed unnecessary and overly-dramatic. I also, on a whim started The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight late last night and finished it this morning. It was SO cute. Though a little predictable and formulaic at times, Hadley and Oliver ( I LOVE that name), were such genuine, empathetic characters, and their discoveries, epiphanies and journey toward emotional closure are heartwarming and had me reaching for the tissue box. I also finally started Blood Song, and I am loving it so far. The main character, Zeraphina, is wonderfully snarky, the mystery behind her blood hunger so intriguing and the potential love interest… well <sigh>.
2.) So… keeping it simple once again. I won Tempest several weeks ago, and want to pass it on to someone else in my Bookish Little Christmas Giveaway, which means… I need to read it first. So, I’m going to.
So what are reading this week?
Yay for you!
Those are too much books for me!
With lucky with Tempest, it’s still in my TBR list, hope you enjoy it!
OH Dani, you read fast! And you have lots of good books this week… I want The Statistical Probablity… and I’m glad that you liked it. I like cute stories and sometimes those kinds of books are refreshing and just exactly what I need =) Good luck with Tempest. It’s on my TBR too! =)
Wow, you had such a productive week! Congrats!
I’m glad you liked Wander Love! I’ll be looking forward to your review of it, I can’t wait to see if I have to add it to my own pile of TBR. The Statistical sounds like the kind of quick read that’s enjoyable to take you away for a while, without too much drama or too many surprises but still making you smile… I don’t usually read much contemporary, but still might be a title to consider. I love the name Oliver as well! (I blame Harry Potter and Oliver Wood…)
Tempest has such a great cover! I hope the contents are up to expectations, and that you enjoy it lots!
Happy weekend!
Ron
Tempest looks great. I can’t wait to see what you think of it. Congrats on the awesome reading week you have had.

Well done you. I don’t know how you get through books so quickly!! I am a very slow reader
But the more I read, the faster I get.
Good luck with your challenge. I’ll have fun checking in to see how you’re going
I’m glad I’m not the only one that could not connect with Eve…I really didn’t like her much at all. It’s too bad because I enjoyed the rest of the story. Good luck with Tempest…I still need to read that one…
Here is my TBR for the week.
