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 […]
I’m embracing the ability to DNF books. Not every book is good for every reader, and that’s okay. Certain things make me DNF a book without question, but sometimes I’ll DNF a book just because I’m not feeling invested in the story, or because I don’t click with […]
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? […]
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 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 […]
