5th Annual ARC August Sign Ups!

Posted July 15, 2017 by Shelly in Challenges / 85 Comments

It’s that time of the year! ARC August sign ups are now open!

As always here are the rules:

  • Any Advanced Reading Copy counts as part of this reading challenge; your backlist books count
  • No blog necessary to participate, but you’ll need to include some form of social media as part of your sign up
  • Use the #ARCAugust on social media to check-in

Twitter Chat

We will be hosting TWO twitter chats one on August 7th and one August 28th. Both chats will start at 8pm EST and of course we’ll be using our #ARCAugust tag.

Interviews/Giveaways

We will be hosting a few authors for interviews and giveaways so make sure to check back our blog regularly for that! Of course, we’ll be tweeting about all of it so make sure to follow the #ARCAugust tag.

Special Note From Octavia

Remember, ARC August has always been about having fun first and finishing ARCs second. Remember this as you tackle your piles, and use the tag to keep each other motivated. Unlike most years, this ARC August I’ll be sitting on the sidelines for the most part. I haven’t requested or received an ARC in ages! But this just means I’ll have more time this year to focus on YOU! So be prepared for lots of caps in your timelines and an unrelenting amount of cheering.

Sign Up!

    This sounds awesome! So to be clear- we don’t have to read exclusively ARCs in August to participate? And we can take a break? I’m considering joining but I’ll definitely be doing the #MakeMeRead challenge and I’ve already picked out books for that (mom-ARCs). 🙂

        Okay, good to know! It’s just not reasonable for me to do that all month, especially as all of my ARCs are ebooks and I think I would get a slump from so many.

    I’m going on a kind-of blogging hiatus in August but I still planned on getting through six ARCs that have release dates in September and October. This challenge has perfect timing!

    I thought I was already following your blog DX oh well, that is fixed now. I’m excited about participating this year! Let’s hope I can actually achieve what I set out to do ^.^
