TBR Intervention (3)

I have been a little lax on my TBR Intervention.  I am blaming the holidays (that seems so much better than a blaming me, right?).

But the new year is coming and I am dedicated to starting over with my TBR Intervention.

And my first book of the year, thanks to my friend Jen's contest, is:

Summary:
Magician, heal thyself.

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself.  But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted.  Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.

Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture.  Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince--leader of a campaign against her people.  As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for.  Because the price of peace may be her life...


Here is my second book for the year (I figure I should set my goals high, right?):

Summary:
Kristina Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble.  But on a trip to visit her absentee father, Kristina disappears and Bree takes her place.  Bree is the exact opposite of Kristina--she's fearless.

Through a boy, Bree meets the monster: crank.  And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul--her life.

And finally because I love audiobooks when I am walking or on the train, I plan to read (or more appropriately I guess I should say listen to): 

Summary:
Macy's summer stretches before her, carefully planned and outlined. She will spend her days sitting at the library information desk. She will spend her evenings studying for the SATs. Spare time will be used to help her obsessive mother prepare for the big opening of the townhouse section of her luxury development.

But Macy's plans don't anticipate a surprising and chaotic job with Wish Catering, a motley crew of new friends, or . . . Wes. Tattooed, artistic, anything-but-expected Wes. He doesn't fit Macy's life at all; so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So . . . happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before her eyes the year before?

So as we start the new year, what do you plan to be your first books to read?
