This isn’t actually the first time I’ve decided to try the State of the ARC meme, but it’s the first time I’ve organized my ARCs in enough time to write the post. The way it works:
My ARCs are spread across three main platforms, and I occasionally receive ARCs in my inbox. NetGalley is by far my preferred platform. Edelweiss basically requires you to write a blog post just to request the ARC and LibraryThing ARCs are usually PDFs, which are more difficult for me to read and manage than a MOBI (kindle) file.
Here’s a complete picture of my ARC collection:

Other than those two, August might be a slow ARC reading month. I’d like to read some of the physical books on my shelf instead. I rarely stick to my reading plan though, so we’ll see what happens.
As part of the State of the ARC meme, I’m also participating in the ARC Bingo!

Evelina says we can add the books to the BINGO as soon as we finish reading them, but I know I’ll forget to review them if I do that. Instead, I won’t add to the BINGO until after I’ve published my review. The goal is to get BINGO before the end of the year. We’re coming up on August, which leaves 4 months. I think I can do this. I’ve already crossed off two categories, once they’re reviewed I’ll put em up. This game is actually useful for helping me decide which ARCS so read next. Thanks, Evelina, for your genius, lol.
Look out for a book review on Thursday and a tea tasting next Tuesday! 🙂 If you want to join the meme or see who else is in, head over to Avalinah’s Books.
