\"arc-august\"<\/a>I signed up for Read, Sleep, Repeat\u2019s 3rd Annual ARC August<\/a> in hopes of getting through all my NetGalley ARCs that were piling up. I was experiencing a bit of a reading slump and needed a small push to get through my reading lists. My goal was to read four ARCs before the end of August and honestly by the middle of the month it wasn’t looking like I’d make my total.<\/p>\n

What was ARC August? Its an event focused on ARCs, physical or electronic. The participant pretty much makes things up from there: a desired NetGalley ratio, a goal of X amount books to read or even just passively deciding to write about the ARCs they’ve read in August. When participants reach the end of the month of August they write a quick follow up about their experience!<\/p>\n

Without further ado, the novels I read for ARC August\u00a0 were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Ever<\/a><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0Read: August 3rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Lumiere\"<\/a><\/td>\nRead: August 15th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"cover68855-medium\"<\/td>\nRead: August 20th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0\"Readers<\/a><\/td>\nRead: August 21st<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Peak\"<\/a><\/td>\nRead: August 23rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Death<\/a><\/td>\nRead: August 30th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So, my final total was five ARCs! I managed to make my goal! Thank you to Read, Sleep, Repeat<\/a> for hosting the 3rd Annual ARC August event! I cannot wait to take part in the 4th Annual event and perhaps even do weekly updates! My reading block made updates difficult and my goal next year is to make weekly updates!<\/p>\n

Until next year!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
