State of the ARC [41]

 
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!

I think the pub date for Every Version of You was moved back to July, but I'm seeing inconsistent release dates for it. I'm going to leave it in April for now, and will adjust it once I have a more definitive answer.

What are you reading right now? Are any of these on your TBR? Let me know!

  1. I just finished Stranger Things Have Happened. It was cute which is what I expect from West. I think there ere more sex scenes than her last adult romanace.

    1. It’s been ages since I’ve read anything by West, so I’m really looking forward to it! It feels like most books lean more toward steamy scenes these days. There are fewer closed-door romances—or even just simpler ones—as readers seem to prefer the nitty-gritty.

    1. I really enjoyed the first book, so I'm hoping the second one is just as good!

  4. Have you read any of Kasie West's adult romances yet (asking because I see one on this list)? I really love her YA stuff but I haven't explored her works for adults.

    1. I think the last thing I read was The Fill-In Boyfriend, but that was YEARS ago. This will be my first time reading one of her adult romances.
