It’s almost August and August means ARC August, a wonderful challenge hosted by Read.Sleep.Repeat. I really need this challenge this year because I might have gone a little overboard.
The Story
You see, I turned 18 a few months ago which meant I finally could legally join NetGalley. Of course, I went crazy and requested way too many titles. To be fair, I thought I would be denied and not approved so…
And then I went to BlogBoundCon and picked up a few more ARCs.
Long story short, I have a bunch of ARCs that I need to read and review before the fall because that’s when I head off to college and reading time becomes even more rare. Hence the need to read all of these ARCs ASAP. Oh, what did I get myself into?
The Books
- Girl on a Plane by Miriam Moss
- Every Falling Star by Sungju Lee and Susan Elizabeth McClelland
- We Know It Was You by Maggie Thrash
- Iron Cast by Destiny Soria
- The Movie Version by Emma Wunsch
- Moon Chosen by P.C. Cast
- Useless Bay by M.J. Beaufrand
- The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
- We Are Still Tornadoes by Michael Kun
- Scythe by Neal Shusterman
The Problem
In an ideal situation, I would be able to read all of these books. There’s just one little problem. Who am I kidding? This problem is very, very big. And there’s more than one.
First, I’m a mood(y) reader. I can’t actually read a book if I’m not in the mood to read.
Then there’s the fact that it’s a struggle for me to read one book a week. Yeah, I said it. And now I’m trying to read more than double that amount in one month. ???
If I don’t go crazy before this month is over, it’ll be a miracle.
Are you participating in ARC August?
What are your goals?
Do you have any recommendations on how I can tackle my ginormous problem?
This is soo cool! You have some amazing books on the list! I also didn’t know about Scythe, it sounds amazing. I love Neal Shusterman. I hope you get them all read through August! I also am a moody reader so I get you on that one.. :/
Happy reading!
PS, I’m a new follower of yours. I love your blog♥
