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 […]

Books I’ve DNFd Recently

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 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 […]
