Tackling the TBR | Week 8 | Feb 22 - Feb 28, 2025

    

Here we go!

This is year SIX of Tackling the TBR and I finally have things sort-of under control. My ultimate goal is to get under 500 books, but I also have to be realistic - just think of all the books not even written yet that I will want to read. When I started this mess  I was at well over 5,000 books on the TBR, so to be where I am now is pretty incredible.

I will post on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and last day of the month.

State of the ARC #69

State of the ARC is a monthly feature hosted by Evelina at Avalinah's Books - and now me, too! I took over temporary hosting duties back in early 2020. A couple years after that, Evelina asked if I would like to co-host and of course I said yes! If you are new to the meme, you can check out the guidelines HERE.

Links go to my review. The majority of the ARCs I receive are through NetGalley. I sometimes find a book or two via Edelweiss or BookSirens. Others have come from authors, publicists, or were offered to me from a publisher who specifically approved me for it on NetGalley; I will always note in the review how I acquired the ARC.

Somehow all the other covers were deleted and Blogger wouldn't let me go back to recover them, so, boo to you Blogger. But I am not going back through Goodreads and redoing it all again.

At my best, my NetGalley ratio was 97%. Then I proceeded to go on several binges because I have no shelf control. I am currently sitting at 67%.

How are you doing with your ARC goals? Let's talk ARCs!
