State of the ARC is a monthly meme hosted by Avalinah at Avalinah's Books! It's an opportunity for readers to catch up on their long overdue ARCs, but I use it to keep up with my upcoming ARCs instead. Shhh... don't tell!

I've been trying to resist the siren call that is NetGalley, but as you can see, I've failed spectacularly. I'm happily drowning in books over here, hah!
Cold Day in the Sun was my Can't Wait Wednesday pick a few weeks ago, so I was thrilled when NetGalley approved my request! I hope it's amazing! Once & Future looks fantastic, too. I'm currently reading The Deceivers and really enjoying it so far. Have you read any of these? Which one would you read first? Let me know!

ReplyDeleteThe Deceivers is fun! I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but it's been great! I'm really excited to start both The Last Woman in the Forest and To Best the Boys. :) And you're right! TBTB has an "amazingsauce cover"!
DeleteAck I think I was gonna edit that and then forgot to comment after deleting the first one! I guess that's what happens whe you have to many tabs open haha, but at least you were able to see the comment. :)
DeleteHah! I didn't realize you'd deleted the comment! I get an email notification when someone comments on a blog post, and I respond right away if I'm on my phone. I just click on the link within the email and start typing a response. It didn't occur to me to check and see if the comment was still there. Sorry! :(
DeleteNo prob! It worked!! Oh and I just read a trade of Tales of suspense: Hawkeye and Winter Soldier. It was pretty awesome- did you guys ever read that one? Has Black Widow in it too!
DeleteYes! It's actually one I've reviewed, too! https://www.doyoudog-ear.com/2018/05/tales-of-suspense-100-104-by-matthew.html
DeleteI really loved Bucky and Hawkeye together -- hilarious!
Ooh I'll go check it out! For all I know I may have commented on it lol. anyway I loved it. and I guess she has an ongoing series now that I didn't know about- I'll have to be checking that out too. :)
DeleteYou did! A lot! Hahaha. ;) Oh, I didn't know about the ongoing series! You'll have to let me know how it is. I'm really glad you enjoyed Bucky and Hawkeye together! <3
DeleteAmerican Princess looks interesting, I'll have to let my sister know - I think she loves the Roosevelt family!
ReplyDeleteI don't typically read historical or historical fiction, but it sounded so interesting! I hope it is. <3
DeleteOh lots of good ones up there!! I really enjoyed The Last Woman in the Forest. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm happy to hear that! It's one I'm really, really looking forward to reading, so I haven't read any other reviews for it. Just in case there's something a tad spoilery! Have you reviewed it on your blog? I trust you not to be spoilery, so I would check yours out. <3
DeleteI can't wait to read Wicked Saints and I hope you love Once and Future!
ReplyDeleteHave you read it?! Is it any good? I'm really looking forward to Wicked Saints, but I'm trying to read it a little closer to my blog tour date. <3
DeleteI've failed miserably with ARCs so far this year too LOL! I just started Wicked Saints and I'm loving it so far! I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that! I hope to start it once I finish The Deceivers and Courting Darkness. I saw your review for Courting Darkness, so I'm eager to see why you enjoyed it so much. :)
DeleteI'm doing okay so far this year with my ARCs, but it's early. I like this post, I might try it next month!
ReplyDeleteI was nearly caught up at the end of December, but then the new year brought new books... it's both good and bad, haha. If I had more time to read, it would be an issue. ;)
DeleteOh! Let me know if you try this feature next month! I really love it. <3
DeleteYes you failed utterly! But they look so tempting!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good fail! Books are a temptation I can rarely resist. ;)
DeleteOh you have a lot of books. lol I limit myself to 5 books out at a time on Netgalley. If I read them all, write the review and set it to post at the right time I will look for more books. Only because it bothers me too much if I have books that I know I need to read so I don't add many to my tbr pile at once.
ReplyDeleteI try not to think about the books I still need to read, haha. I'm pretty good about staying on top of things, but it gets harder the more books I request. I like your idea of limiting yourself to a certain number until you've read them! I bet your review percentage is awesome! ;)
DeleteI'm at 87% right now. lol
DeleteNice! What's the highest percentage you've had?
DeleteI have a hard time resisting Netgalley, too! I have The Last Woman in the Forest and I can't wait to read it! Hope we both love it, Lindsi. Hazel and Holly is such a pretty cover!
ReplyDeleteI hope we both love it, too! I've seen one or two reviews for it, and they've been really positive! <3
DeleteI adored Biren's debut and am looking forward to her new book. I am also excited about You'd Be Mine. I read The Deceivers and think it's a great beginning to a new series.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read her debut, but I'm excited about this one! If I enjoy it, I'll probably look for her first book. You'd Be Mine is one I've been dying to read, but I was trying to wait until a little closer to its release date. I have a hard time withholding my thoughts once I've read a book, haha. The Deceivers is really great! She really hit me in the feels at the start of the book. Abusive relationships, scumbag dudes, fight or flight scenarios -- makes me angry!
DeleteI just requested The Secret of Dinswood! I hope it goes through :)
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across it on accident, but the premise was really intriguing! I hope you get approved so we can both read it. :)
DeleteSome great ones to try there!
ReplyDeleteI thought so! <3
DeleteI love ARC's, these look like good ones, enjoy them. I literally have to stop myself from going to NetGalley, I have no self control over there.
ReplyDeleteI try to resist, but NetGalley sends out emails with new releases, so it's hard not to request them! Once I'm actually on the site, it's impossible to look away ;)
DeleteI'm really curious about The Last Woman in the Forest. I hope these are all good reads!

Me too! <3 <3 <3
DeleteThe Hazel and Holly, Ever Alice, and Beware the Night covers... 😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I really like all of these covers, haha. To Best the Boys is an interesting maze, and I love how her yellow dress stands out. Once & Future is fun to look at! :)
DeleteI am working so hard to get caught up with my ARC pile. It is so hard to stay off of NetGalley and Edelweiss though! I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI've tried using Edelweiss in the past, but prefer NetGalley's format! It's easier to use. :)
DeleteI have In Another Life too. I have so many backlogged books that I request very few books these days because of the blogger shame. Based on the covers Beware the Night, Ever Alice, and Cold Day in the Sun look nice. Looking at the synopsis I would like to hope I would enjoy the hockey girl story since I love Dairy Queen so much (football playing girl).
ReplyDeleteI've been doing really well with review copies lately! I've also been working my way through the backlog and re-reading some of my past favorites. I try not to request new books until I'm caught up, but there were so many this month!
