ARC August: How Did I Do?



August is over, and alas, so is Read Sleep Repeat's ARC August challenge.  After a stellar week 3 (by my reading standards), I slowed down a bit this final week.  I didn't have a particular goal in mind as far as a number of ARC's to read, but I typically aim to read at least two books per week, and I'm happy to say I surpassed that.  I read three books in the final week (Fangirl and The Waking Dark - both are wonderful, and Conjured - not so wonderful), and so my grand total for the month is...DRUM ROLL...

15 BOOKS!!!

There were a few non-ARC's in here, but for the most part, I stuck to the plan.  Even better, I've actually already posted reviews for quite a few, and I've got a few more at least partially written.



The Deepest Night by Shana Abe
Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon  (My review is here.)
Night Film by Marisha Pessl (My review is here.)
The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa
Viral Nation by Shaunta Grimes
Project Cain by Geoffrey Girard (My review is here.)
The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson
All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill (My review is here.)
Find Me by Romily Bernard
Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young (My review is here.)
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst
The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman

Now here's the really important part: Which books do you absolutely, positively NEED to read?

  • Night Film
  • All Our Yesterdays
  • Fangirl
  • The Waking Dark
Thank you to Octavia for hosting this event, and let's hope she likes us enough to do it again next year!

    You just HAD to read one more than me :-P haha, GREAT job! So happy you read and loved AOY. Such a great book. I'm sad that Doon wasn't good.

      :) :) :) When I read your post with 14 books, I had no idea I'd read 15! I couldn't believe it when I counted mine up.

    You had a pretty great month - good job! I'm happy to say I plan on reading every one of your must-read picks (already read and loved Night Film). And I have a copy of Viral Nation, which I've heard good things about it, so I'm excited.

    That is a great number! Your post is reminding me that I should tally up my reads for the month as I really enjoyed participating in this based on your encouragement :)
