My Final ARC August Update

Posted August 30, 2013 by Octavia in Challenges / 0 Comments

Ah, it’s been a hell of a journey guys and I can’t tell you how proud and happy I am with how ARC August turned out. Now I know we have one more day left in August but my last day of August will be spent at a book festival. So it only makes sense to do this post now!

 

So let’s check some facts real quick!

I announced ARC August back on June 30th, and honestly thought only 5 or 10 people would sign up. WRONG Octavia WRONG!

87 people signed up!! Beats the hell out my “5 or 10” guess!

I wanted to read 20 books! Remember that “plan”?

 I even made a spreadsheet showing how horrible I am when it comes to keeping up with my ARC’s!

So how did I do with my goal??

I FAILED!!!!

 

But I’m still pretty proud! I finished 7 ARC’s, 1 non-ARC and made 2 DNF calls! I know I didn’t reach my goal, and yeah I was a longs ways off from it but I tackled 8 books this month! That’s reason to celebrate right? Right!

I also was lucky enough to visit each and everyone of your blogs, and I even grabbed a few new friends. So to all 87 of you lovely (and possibly insane) participants,
