State of the ARC #29

 

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 months ago 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. Some have come from 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.

***NOTE*** In an effort to get these ARCs taken care of that have taken SO LONG for me to read, I am now going to include the pub dates so I can shame myself in finishing those books and getting reviews up. Though, in my defense, I sometimes received the book AFTER the pub date, so...

When I first started blogging my monthly State of the ARC I felt like I was drowning in ARCs. My main goal was to get my NetGalley feedback ratio above 80% and thanks to this meme, I slowly but surely clawed my way up. At my highest I was at 97%. I am currently at 88%.

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

Happy Reading
