Eleanor Reads! June Edition

Each month Eleanor and I share the chapter books we read. We've been reading chapter books since before Kindergarten and her attention span as a four year old was definitely something to brag about. Eleanor was born a reader and that makes my heart so, so happy.

*Eleanor has begun reading more than one book at a time. I can't imagine where she got that idea from.

State of the ARC #65

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.

Review or Feedback Completed

None, but there is actually a reason this time. I spent a whole week focusing on reading ARCs while Eleanor had to be gone for a week with her father. In July she will have to do this again, so that is when I will focus on getting as many reviews done as possible.

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 SOTA, I slowly but surely clawed my way up. At my highest I was at 97%. Then I proceeded to go on several binges since that time and I am currently at 70%.

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

Happy Reading
