ARC August Final Update

ARC August is hosted by Octavia & Shelly over at Read Sleep Repeat. Well, I would say my stab at ARC August was pretty successful although discovering I've got dozens of reviews still to write wasn't quite what I wanted! In the end I read 7 books and am halfway through another one with another 17 to write reviews for. I think they're going to have to be very brief reviews otherwise I can see myself having to read them all again!

ARC August Update #2

ARC August is hosted by Octavia & Shelly over at Read Sleep Repeat. After a pretty good start I seem to have stalled. I'm still reading Starborn and I've started one other book, that's it... I have also discovered there's quite a few titles on my Netgalley shelves that I've read but not reviewed so I need to start a separate list for that as well! It's Bout of Books this coming week so I'm hoping to get some serious reading done, check back next Sunday for my week three progress.

ARC August Update #1

ARC August is hosted by Octavia & Shelly over at Read Sleep Repeat. I've got off to a good start this year! The Jar of Shame is working fantastically, I feel guilty every time I look at it... I need to read a bit quicker though, the Whispers trilogy is essentially three novellas so in total I've only read four books. I would love it if I could reach 25 by the end of the month but I fear that may be an ARC too far.

Bookmarked... #6

The return of the weekly post letting you all know what I'm reading and have lined up for the week! It's my own version of Sheila at Book Journey's It's Monday What Are You Reading and I have her permission to rename it for my own nefarious reasons :)

It's the start of ARC August so I'm hoping I get lots of reading done! I'm off to a good start, two books (well, novellas really...) and a book of short stories down already! I have no idea what's up next as I'm picking books from my ARC Jar of Shame.

In this jar is the title of every unread ARC in my house, both paper and electronic. You can see why I need to take part and why it's called my Jar of Shame!

ARC August

Hosted by Octavia & Shelly over at Read Sleep Repeat for the third year running it would be rude of me not to take part! My Netgalley/Edelweiss requests have steadily spiraled out of control so I'm putting my foot down and reading all ARC's all August. Should be easy even if I go a-wandering again because all I need is my Kindle...

Rules:

The rules are very simple

• It may be a physical ARC or and eARC but it MUST be an ARC
• Yes it can be an ARC that has released as long as it’s an ARC I’m not going to nit pick much
• HAVE FUN WITH THIS! Feeling like you are being “forced” to read is the best way turn a fun event into a yucky obligation.
• Update post! I personally will do a post for each Saturday in August but that’s just me. You can update once a week, every other week or once for the whole darn event. This update can be in the form of a blog or tumblr post, vlog, link to your “ARC August 2015″ shelf or even an instagram pic! I want to make this as easy and low pressure as possible for you.

I've no idea what I'm going to read, I'm thinking maybe I should do a Netgalley version of the TBR jar and do things that way?

ARC August

Yep, it's that time of year when you realize you have a rather extortionate amount of unread ARC's and Octavia at Read Sleep Repeat pops up at just the right time with ARC August. I'm not going to say how many unread ARC's/review copies I have but it's safe to say the pile is in double figures. I'm hoping to get fifteen ARC's read in August but will be happy with at least ten. They will include

• Smiler's Fair - Rebecca Levene (just about to start this one!)
• Gates of Thread & Stone - Lori M Lee
• Jackaby - William Ritter
• The Dark World - Cara Lynn Schultz
• Glimpse - Kendra Leighton

I also need to write reviews for

• The Geography of You & Me - Jennifer E Smith
• Landline - Rainbow Rowell
• A Place For Us Pt 1 - Harriet Evans

I'll update this post as I go and, hopefully, add links to reviews!
