Hi Blisses,
Wow! The title blew me away. 82 ARCs is beyond my expectation and I’m proud of it. So I decided to share this milestone to you as part of my #Blogmas series.
So back in January I joined this reading challenge calledΒ 2018 Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge. It’s very obvious what the challenge is all about but the tricky part is how to achieve it. See, there are levels…
Levels
I pledged 100 books. Back then I knew this is impossible. I was even sure I wouldn’t get a hundred ARCs. But right now, all I can say is that NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. Why? As of this moment, I received a total of 102 ARCs this year. I also had ARCs that I’ve read but didn’t like so I didn’t review them coz I don’t want to ruin the book’s ratings on Goodreads. Thankfully Netgalley now has a section where you can say you’re not reviewing the ARC.
And it is also possible I can read 100 ARCs before Dec. 31 coz I still have 16 ARCs in my shelf and you know I can read few books a day. So yes, nothing is freakin’ impossible. But seriously I can’t believe I’ve read this much ARCs. I can’t even!!!
Anyway, here are the 82 ARCs I’ve read this year.Β
*Haven’t reviewed and listed yet. 3 of them I just read recently*
Β Β *Read/Reviewed/Done*
Β Β *From Blog Tours Courtesy ofΒ Shalini from Digital Reads Blog Tour*
This variety of books are as Diverse as I wanted them. A big thanks to Netgalley and Shalini for all of these. I don’t know if I’ll be able to read more ARCs next year but I already have more than ten in line. But one thing I’m sure of, I’ll continue supporting authors, especially underrated ones.

Compiling these covers made me really, really so tired so I’m gonna say bye now.Β

Awesome! That’s a lot of ARCs! I’m hoping to review more in 2019 because I only did a few this year. I’m on NetGalley already but I’ll have to try out Edelweiss.

These ARCs, except the ones from Blog tours, are all from Netgalley… I’m on Edelweiss but I can’t get a hang of it yet. hehe… Maybe because the first time I requested there, I got declined and then I never tried again… I’m already at home with Netgalley though. π Good luck on next year. i’m sure you’ll be able to read more. π

I only request from Netgalley coz requesting on Edelweiss takes longer. hehe.. I’m so lazy.
Anyway, I think the best way is to have a good bio. I updated mine indicating how many followers I have on my blog, GR and all social media where I talk about books. π π And the rating on Netgalley. I’m past 80%. Aside from these, I don’t know what else to do. hehe…

Wow what an accomplishment! What a great year you had! We have read a lot of similar books from Netgalley or Edelweiss, but you certainly read more romances than I do. Are you doing this again next year?
