2016 ARC August

2016ArcAugust

Overview

ARC August is a challenge hosted by Read.Sleep.Repeat to put a dent in that ARC pile collecting dust on your shelf. All ARCs are fair game, including older physical copies to eARCs, etc. As you might guess, the event runs from August 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

I have a handful of physical ARCs I’ve received in giveaways or other outlets that I’d like to finally get around to reading, plus several titles on NetGalley that need my attention. My hope is to get my feedback ratio back up to where it used to be and knock out some new books along the way.

Books Read/Reviewed: There will be a number of titles that I will be reading this month that won’t have reviews appear until after August has passed. For these books, I’ll be providing snippets from my review as proof that the book was read, along with the day the review will appear. This is mainly because due to the publisher’s request, I can’t post my review for certain books until closer to the release date. In some other cases, it will just be where the book reviews fall in my blog schedule.

Posts

I’ll be posting weekly updates throughout the month of August with my progress as well as links to any reviews of the ARCs I’ve read (or a snippet from the review if it won’t appear until after August).

Books

I don’t have a set goal for this month (it’s more about getting through as many ARCs as I can). This list contains all the ones I have to read either in physical or eBook form. Each week I’ll update the list with either a link to the book’s review or a snippet and the date the review will appear. Bolded titles are unread. They’re listed alphabetically by title.
