State of the ARC #11


State of the ARC is a monthly feature hosted by Avalinah's Books. I am so glad I stumbled upon it, because it is really helping me with my 2018 Reading Goals (also find a related Top Ten Tuesday HERE). Links go to Goodreads, unless I have finished the review, in which case it goes to that. All ARCs are from NetGalley or Edelweiss, unless otherwise noted.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is the final State of the ARC of 2018 (obviously) and I am really proud of the progress I've made. Now, I was nearly done with all my ARCs, then I went on NetGalley to look for some paranormal goodies, and BOOM! my numbers went back up a little. But still, not anywhere near what I had to start 2018 back in January when I first began participating in this meme. To show off my progress, I am including my very first State of the ARC so you can see what I mean.

  3. Wow I'm impressed that you can read start twelve books at the same time and still remember what's going on! I can barely manage two at a time :) That's so awesome how you ended the year! I need your skills ASAP.

    1. Hey Laura, thank you! I definitely could not read this way if I read much fiction. I prefer non-fiction and a wide variety of topics, so it is easier for me to have multiple books going at once. Happy New Year!
