State of the ARC is a monthly meme hosted by Avalinah at Avalinah's Books and Sarah at All the Book Blog Names Are Taken! It's an opportunity for readers to catch up on their long overdue ARCs, but right now I'm using it to keep up with my upcoming ARCs instead. It helps me stay organized!

  1. Wow you have so many incredible sounding arcs, I really hope you enjoy them all. I'll have to watch out for your thoughts on The Bone Queen, The Red Winter and The Somewhat Wicked Witch in particular but a fair few of these are on my TBR. A couple are new to me and I'll definitely be looking some of them up too because apparently my TBR isn't long enough yet 😂

    1. I've given up on trying to have a manageable TBR. 😅

  3. I’ve had Rebecca Serle’s new book for months now, and I still haven’t read it. I need to get busy. Have a good week!

  5. I love your template and the great pictures! I feel a bit stupid but what's an ARC?

    1. Thank you! An ARC is an Advanced Reader Copy (sometimes Advanced Review Copy). There are different acronyms used, but this one is generally the most popular. DRC - Digital Review Copy. ARE - Advanced Reader's Edition. eARC - Electronic Advanced Reader Copy. I hope that helps!

    1. Oh, absolutely! I will always try to read ARCs before their pub date, but sometimes I'm not able to. I'll still read and review them when I can though.

  9. Every Version of You is on my radar. It sounds like a good one for me.

  10. I love whatever the creature is on The Red Winter cover. It looks like a Scottish Deerhound and I love them. 🤗

    1. I have no idea what it is, but I trust you! 😂 Hopefully the book is as good as its cover.
