State Of The ARC #28

I finished May with 17 ARCs left to be read.  I was originally planning to make some serious progress on my ARCs in June, but things got super busy in June. I ended up going to two fairs with friends, went to my nephew’s high school graduation, and […]

State Of The ARC #27

I finished April with 17 ARCs left to be read.  This seems to be the running theme for me in 2023, but (and this should be to no one’s surprise at this point), I didn’t make as much progress as I wanted to during May. A lot of […]

State Of The ARC #26

I finished March with 16 ARCs left to be read.  April was a month that I apparently spent aboard the struggle bus. I was hoping to make a big dent in my ARCs and not request any more, but as you’ll see below, life didn’t exactly work out […]

State Of The ARC #25

I finished February with 13 ARCs left to be read.  March turned out to be a really hectic month for me, and I didn’t get as far with my ARCs as I was hoping to. I definitely didn’t do very well with requesting less books, since there were […]

State Of The ARC #24

I finished January with 10 ARCs left to be read and 2 reviews to publish.  Wow, February just flew by, and I was not ready for that to happen. I was kind of expecting it to go slowly, like January! Anyone else feel like that, or just me? […]

State Of The ARC #23

I finished December with 15 ARCs left to be read and 1 review to publish.  January is one of my favorite months of the year. There’s a combination of the slow pace after the rush and bustle of the holidays, the fact that my birthday is at the […]

State Of The ARC #22

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 […]

State Of The ARC #20

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 […]

State Of The ARC #19

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 […]
