I finished November with 13 ARCs left to be read. Is it just me, or does it feel like December lasted a really long time? Thanksgiving feels like forever ago, and while our Chanukah family party was only two weeks ago, it also seems like it was a […]
I finished October with 10 ARCs left to be read. November feels like it just started, and it’s already over. I tried my best to stay on top of ARCs, but it feels like no matter how many ARCs I read, I got approved for more than I […]
I finished September with 14 ARCs left to be read. October, or ARCtober, as I like to think of it, was a smashing success. I’ve continued to reduce how many books I’ve requested, while reading as many ARCs as I could. In fact, I managed to halve my […]
I finished August with 18 ARCs left to be read. I’ve set a goal for myself to have my ARCs read at least a month in advance, and I’ve managed to successfully do that with my NetGalley ARCs this month. Plus, since slowing down on requesting, I’m starting […]
I finished July with 18 ARCs left to be read. I spent quite a bit of time reading ARCs in August, but I’m feeling a bit dejected. Although I have no one but myself to blame, I broke even on my ratio this month. I read 11 ARCs […]
I finished June with 20 ARCs left to be read. Devoting time to ARCs is now becoming a habit each month, and while I’m still getting approved for a bunch, I’m finding myself requesting less (but not fully on a requesting ban). It’s very heartening to see progress […]
I finished May with 25 ARCs left to be read. June was an amazing reading month for me, and I really focused on reading ARCs, since I was becoming a bit overwhelmed by how many I had. My ratio went from 88% to 91%, and I was able […]
I finished April with 30 ARCs left to be read. In May, I got approved for 10 new ARCs, bringing my total to 40. It got out of control, and I started feeling super stressed about it. So instead of getting overwhelmed, I devoted some serious time to […]
I finished March with 21 ARCs left to be read. In April, I got approved for a whopping 18 new ARCs! Despite focusing heavily on reading ARCs this month, I naturally fell a little behind my intended schedule of reviewing books the month before they’re published. I managed […]
I finished February with 19 ARCs left to be read. In March, I got approved for 12 new ARCs, and so many of them were books that I’m really looking forward to. I’ve been working really hard on getting all the books read and reviewed at least a […]
