Clean Sweep ARC Challenge—Accepted!

April 24, 2017 Challenges 2

I’m taking the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge

I’m signing up for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge, hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. The challenge runs from May 1 through May 31, 2017. The goal is to read those review copies (ARCs or finished copies; digital, audio, or print.) They can be new (books that haven’t come out yet), or older ones you didn’t get around to; the main thing is that they are review copies from the publisher, author, or via someplace like NetGalley or Edelweiss.

My goal is to read eight ARCs in May. If I can read more, that’s great, but I currently have 8 ARCs for books that come out between May 9 and June 6, and I’d like to get through all of them. I also have some that come out after mid-June, and a backlog of books I didn’t get around to for one reason or another, so I won’t run out of ARCs if by some miracle I manage to get through more than eight.

I’ll probably read more than eight books in May, but some will be library books or books from my own collection, and won’t count. As a mood reader, I’ve discovered that I need the flexibility to read or re-read books that aren’t on my “assigned” list.
