My friend Octavia over at
Read.Sleep.Repeat is hosting the third annual ARC August, and considering that this is the first August where I have found myself overwhelmed with ARCs, I figured, why not join in?
The entire goal of this challenge is to tackle your ARC TBR. Here are Octavia's rules from the
sign up post:
Rules:
The rules are very simple.
- It may be a physical ARC or eARC but it MUST be an ARC.
- Yes it can be an ARC that has already released; as long as it’s an ARC I’m not going to nit pick really
- 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/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.
My goal is to read five ARCs. This may seem low-key to some, but for me, it's huge considering that this summer, I've been going through possibly the worst reading slump I've ever had.
Here's my tentative list:
- A Curious Tale of the In-Between by Lauren DeStefano
Pub. Date: Sept. 1
- Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
Pub. Date: Sept. 1
- Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Pub. Date: Sept. 1
- A Whole New World by Liz Braswell
Pub. Date: Sept. 1
- Stone Rider by David Hofmeyr
Pub. Date: July 14
As you can see, a lot of the ARCs I have are for books releasing the first of September, so I have a lot of reading and reviewing to do before then. I also missed the window on
Stone Rider, but partaking in this challenge is my way of making up for it. Also, Octavia is holding ARC giveaways as prizes for the challenge, so it should be a lot of fun.
Are you joining in on the ARC August challenge?
Leave me your TBR in the comments!
