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 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 […]
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 […]
