This yearly feature hosted by Octavia and Shelly at Read. Sleep. Repeat. couldn’t have come around at a better time. It seems like my ARC requests double around this time of year thanks to all of the brilliant upcoming releases. Currently, I’m challenging myself to make my way through the following ARCs by the end of August (there are a couple more since my sign-up post):
-
- Fool’s Quest by Robin Hobb
-
- Breakout by Ann Aguirre
-
- The Drafter by Kim Harrison
-
- The White Rose by Amy Ewing
-
- A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis
-
- Hunter by Mercedes Lackey
-
- Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow
-
- Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson
-
- Riders by Veronica Rossi
I’m shooting for one a week, but I would love to read them all before the end of August.
Week 1 – 8/8/15:
I finished two ARCs this week – Fool’s Quest and Breakout!
Week 2 – 8/15/15:
I got halfway through Hunter by Mercedes Lackey and picked up two more ARCs! #Fail
Week 3 – 8/22/15:
Week 4 – 8/29/15:
Total – 8/31/15:
Wish me luck!

This is awesome! I hope you can get to all of them! I really want to read a book by Robin Hobb.

Thank you! I hope so too, and the awesome part is that I don’t even feel pressured to meet the goals, it just sounds like fun! Robin Hobb is the bomb and I totally recommend starting with Assassin’s Apprentice. She may even be my favorite EVER. :-)

Good luck! My, what a lot of fantasy you have here! The only one we have in common is MADNESS. Really looking forward to it. I saw some bloggers earlier in July reading/flailing over it.

Yeah, this list is evidence on how into fantasy I’ve been for the last couple of months. :-) I love the use of the word “flailing” and am totally hoping we join their ranks once we’ve read it! I really loved her “not a drop…” Series, so I have high hopes. Have you read those too?

I haven’t. Heard it was Annie Oakley meets sci/fi? Which sounds so BA.

It was BA! I was sold from the first line.
