I'm Participating in ARC August!

I found out about this awesome concept from my friend Samantha at Thoughts on Tomes, and I just knew I had to join in for this! I am easily swayed by the newest book I get, so my poor advance reader copies tend to get ignored. This is a fun way for me to get motivated about reading them!

This event was created by Read.Sleep.Repeat, and you can find all of the information for it on their blog.


The Rules:
The rules are very simple:
  • It may be a physical ARC or and eARC but it MUST be an ARC.
  • It can be an ARC that has released as long as it is an ARC.
  • This is meant to be fun!! Feeling like you are being “forced” to read is the best way turn a fun event into a yucky obligation.
  • Update posts! You can update once a week, every other week or once for the whole darn event. This update can be in the form of a blog, Tumblr post, vlog, link to your “ARC August 2015″ shelf, or even an Instagram pic!

My TBR:
I have only 3 Netgalley ARCs that have not been published yet, so those are my priority. Then I'll pick up whatever strikes my fancy yet. I don't know if I will read ARCs exclusively or if I'll throw other books in there. (I haven't gotten to read Armada yet, after all.) I am currently participating in the Booktubeathon, and I am not reading any ARCs for that. The rest of the month should be good though! 

I have listed my books mostly in order of publication/how much I want to read them. 


Wild in the Hollow - Amber C. Haines
From a Distant Star - Karen McQuestion
Mechanica - Betsy Cornwell
Anchored - Kayla Aimee


How to Fly with Broken Wings - Jane Elson
Audrey & Bill - Edward Z. Epstein 
Tolkien - Devin Brown
Puppet - Pauline C. Harris



How We Deal With Gravity - Ginger Scott
The Paper Magician - Charlie N. Holmberg
Portal 24 - Meredith Stroud
Cannonbridge - Jonathan Barnes 


I am hoping to get my updates up every week either on this blog or Instagram. My monthly wrap-up will be on my YouTube channel at the end of August. Are you going to participate in this? If you are, leave a comment down below and tell me what you're reading!
