ARC Reading Challenge


June 21 - September 21, 2008

Teddy from So Many Precious Books So Little Time is hosting her FIRST reading challenge - and it's a good one! The ARC Challenge is all about reading Advance Reader's Copies (or Advance Reader's Editions) of books.
Here are the rules:
1. Make a list of all of the ARC's that you currently have and/or are on their way to you.
2. If you have:
  • 1-3 ARC's then pick at least one to read and review for this challenge.
  • 4-6 ARC's then pick at least two to read and review for this challenge.
  • 7-9 ARC's then pick at least three to read and review for this challenge.
  • 10 or more Arc's then pick at least 4 to read and review for this challenge.

3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed.

4. List the books that you plan to read for this challenge (you can change it at any time, as long as the books you change are also ARCs). You can read the books on your list in any order.

5. Read the books and review them on your blog. If you don't have a blog, you can post your review on sites like Amazon. Leave a comment on the post about the challenge with a link to each of your reviews.

Hey, how long ago did you get Angel's Tip? Did you get it through SA? I hadn't heard of anyone getting it yet - I requested it too.

Maybe I should join this challenge.
