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. 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.

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 94%.
How are you doing with your ARC goals? Let's talk ARCs!
Happy Reading

The Ruins is on my list, as is her earlier one. And the Jones recs you gave me...
ReplyDeleteI loved Madam more, but I still liked The Ruins a lot. I think you will. But read ALL THE DAN JONES' BOOKS FIRST!!! lol
DeleteI will definitely read Madam first. I've been jonesing for some dark academia lately. Jonesing... see what I did there. Didn't even do it intentionally either ha...
DeleteJonesing!! Yes! Madam was really good, it's GR rating surprises me. But then again, GR and I are often at odds in how we perceive books.
