Eleanor Reads | June & July Edition

You might notice a little change here, Eleanor has decided to go by Nora now. One of the things I loved about the name from the start - besides the fact that Eleanor of Aquitaine was a badass queen - is that it is versatile; my girl could choose what she wanted to be called, whether it was Eleanor, Elle, Ellie, Nor, or Nora. 

Each month Nora and I share the chapter books we read either together or that she's read on her own. I love that she is exploring new genres and finding new authors to love.

State of the ARC #76


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.

Book covers in the 'Feedback' section go to my review. I will always note in the review how I acquired the ARC.

ARCs are a problem for me. So, reformatting!
I have changed things up a bit to try and shame myself into reading and/or reviewing my older ARCs. We'll see how it goes, because the shiny new ones are distracting. Tier One has ARCs from 2022-2023, Tier Two is for 2024, Tier Three for 2025, and Tier Four are 2026 acquisitions.

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 69%.

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

Happy Reading
