So I was visiting my friend Yvonne at Socrates' Book Reviews, when I saw the above button on her sidebar. Forty-seven (as of the time I am writing this) other bloggers have signed up to make a concerted effort to reduce the number of ARC's (advanced reader copies) in their TBR (to be read) piles and files. ARCs are books which have been received at no cost to the reader with the agreement that a review will be posted - on a blog, Amazon, GoodReads, etc.
Below is a list of ARCs I have scheduled for reviews on book tours in May:
from the authors, publisher and Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours

To my chagrin, these are just the ones with scheduled reviews, guest posts or interviews. There are at least as many other ARCs on my list/in my TBR pile for which there is no organized tour scheduled, but I agreed to review and I want to live up to my part of the bargain.
Come join in! Click the button (you know the one wa-a-a-y up at the top of the post!) Have a great May!
Hi Lu-Ann
ReplyDeleteI'm dashing about on the A-Z at the moment before it all ends, and came across you blog. You followed me some weeks ago and somehow I thought I was following you. Here I am at last. I'll call back when the madness has ended.
Pleased to be here.
I am loving your list LuAnn and hope to make a huge dent myself. So glad you joined in :)
ReplyDeleteI've signed up for the cleansweep as well - reminding me of the dinner hour admonition of 'eyes being larger than our tummies'! =)
ReplyDeleteI am SO guilty of that, too, Sharon! Yikes! Well, I'm rootin' for ya!
DeleteGood luck with the challenge! I so know what you are going through between blog tour reviews and author-requested reviews.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the challenge. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I think you should be able to make it through all these books this month.
