Woot! ARC August is here again, and honestly it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I fell WAY behind in June and July so I have accumulated an ARC backlog of 28 books from those two months. Plus the 12 ARC’s I’m scheduled to read in August gets us to a grand total of 40 ARC’s to read this month. Ha, no way will I be able to read 40 books in a month, but I’m still really glad to be participating in ARC August again this year to try and decrease my backlog a little bit at least. For those of you that don’t know, ARC August is a month-long reading challenge hosted by Read.Sleep.Repeat. and the only participation requirement is reading ARC’s! I participated in this reading challenge last year and it worked out really well for me, I hope to be super productive with this challenge this year since I have so much to read! Plus in a beyond perfect twist of events I will on an island for a week in August with no wi-fi and no cell service and no electricity! What else is there to do but read!

So here is the list I’m going to be working off of for this year’s challenge (more or less):

-The Secret Ingredient of Wishes by Susan Elizabeth Crispell
-Results May Vary by Bethany Chase
-Sting by Sandra Brown
-The Form of Things Unknown by Robin Bridges
-Quarter Life Poetry by Samantha Jayne
-Behave by Andromeda Romano-Lax
-Thirty Days to Thirty by Courtney Psak
-All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
-Dear Amy by Helen Callaghan
-The Killing Game by Nancy Bush
-Luck, Love, and Lemon Pie by Amy E. Reichert
-The Singles Game by Lauren Weisberger
-If You Left by Ashley Prentice Norton
-All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker
-To Have and To Hold by Laura McHugh
-The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood
-My Husband’s Son by Deborah O’Connor
-First Comes Love by Emily Giffin
-Stormswept by Sabrina Jeffries
-Once a Soldier by Mary Jo Putney

Obviously I don’t expect to read through 20 books in one month but this will give me a little wiggle room to pick what I want to read as I go rather than being stuck with a set schedule. Happy reading everyone!
