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 right now I'm using it to keep up with my upcoming ARCs instead. It helps me stay organized!

January has been jam-packed with books, and I'm barely keeping my head above water! I wouldn't normally feel so pressed for time, but I've been diverting a lot of my energy to our upcoming move. Finding a house is a huge time-suck, but a necessary evil. However, I have been listening to a lot of audiobooks, so there's a silver lining.
Are any of these books already on your TBR? Which books are you looking forward to reading the most? Any new additions after seeing this list? Let me know!
The four I read from this list were all great. I adored Lucky Caller and Tweet Cute, and How to Build a Heart has me interested in reading more from the Padian. I have a few on these on deck for later in the year, as I am currently reading Feb books. Good luck with the move and the TBR
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you've already started on February books! I want to get ahead! :) I feel like I'm forever right on time, haha. I'm starting Lucky Caller tonight (publisher sent an electronic copy yesterday), and Tweet Cute is on deck! <3
DeleteI would like to say that my list of ARCs looks smaller than yours but...it doesn't LOL! In fact we have a lot of the same books (again!) in common. So much for me cutting back on ARCs this year.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to favor the same types of books! You're like my reading soulmate or something. ;) <3 I wanted to cut back on how many ARCs I received this year, but you see how well that worked out! People write some AMAZING books, so it's hard to resist for long. I'm doomed if I get on NetGalley.
DeleteI haven't read any of these but I did get a couple or ARC's this month. I only take out a few at a time though so my list isn't very big. lol
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have lined up for the first half of the year! They're pretty spaced out. :)
DeleteWe discussed reading Lucky caller and you sent me How to Build Heart. But I haven't even heard of the rest. i am SO out of the loop! lol
ReplyDeleteYou freaked me out at first. I thought these were ALL for January.
Karen @ For What It's worth
Hah! These are what I have lined up for the first SIX MONTHS. If they were all January releases, there'd be no way! I don't have the time for that. ;) I can't wait to read Lucky Caller will you! I was supposed to have read it already for a blog tour (posted a spotlight earlier this week), but the publisher didn't send a copy until yesterday. <3
DeleteI was tempted to request Raven and the Dove but then decided against it. Can't hear how you like it!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to let you know, Amber! I thought the cover was lovely, and then the synopsis reeled me in. Fingers crossed it's as good as it looks! :)
DeleteI requested Raven and the Dove, too! I chose When We Were Vikings as my BOTM book credit so I'm hoping I'll love it!
ReplyDeleteYay! Have you been accepted for Raven and the Dove yet? If so, Buddy Read? ;) I am PUMPED about When We Were Vikings! It's one of my most anticipated reads. <3
DeleteI recently finished What I Carry, so I'll be interested to hear what you think of that!
ReplyDeleteOhh, what did you think?? You can't tell me you've read it, and then not tell me if it's good or not! ;)
DeleteSo much awesome looking stuff. Please See Us caught my eye and I see about 5 others I want!! :)
ReplyDeleteOnly 5?? Want to help me read some of these?? ;) Please See Us sounds like it will be super suspenseful!
DeleteIt does look pretty amazing, and the Raybourn books look great too!
DeleteIt's the 5th book in a series, so I'm trying to see if I can read it on its own, or if I need to read the previous 4 books first.
DeleteThat’s a lot of great books to look forward to, and you’ve made great inroads already. I have The Mercies..it releases next week here though
ReplyDeleteIt feels like I've been snowed-in and I have to keep shoveling or I'll be buried alive. ;) Nice! You'll have to read The Mercies and then let me know what you think. <3
DeleteTweet Cute and Lucky Caller keep catching my eye! I hope you enjoy them both!
ReplyDelete(And good luck with the house hunt!)
I'm 34% into Lucky Caller right now and loving it! The sibling relationships are spot-on, and no one has gotten on my nerves yet. Well, except for Joydeep, but I think he's supposed to annoy you! ;)
DeleteOoh lots of books! I got What I Like About Me in the mail recently, and I have an e-ARC of Only Mostly Devastated. The House in the Cerulean Sea is one I don't have, but it's on my wish list of things to read!

What I Like About Me is one I recently discovered/requested! It just sounded like something I'd really enjoy. :) I won a copy of The House in the Cerulean Sea, and cannot wait to dive into that one. <3
DeleteI am going to have to keep an eye on Tweet Cute. I have seen it everywhere and though fiction is not usually my thing, it looks like a cute story.
ReplyDeleteAre you a big non-fiction reader? My husband is too! He loves to read biographies and books that enlighten/improve certain aspects of your life.
