State Of The ARC #33

I finished October with 27 ARCs left to be read.  As usual for 2023, November was a hectic month. It was physically and emotionally draining for me. Between the state of affairs in the world, and my own physical health, it was exceptionally difficult to focus on much. […]

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 #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 […]

State Of The ARC #15
