My 2021 Netgalley TBR – UPDATE

Hi Blisses,

This is the first update for a reading challenge that I will be posting this week, though please don’t expect my updates to be good, they’re really underwhelming. LOL. I posted five reading challenges that I’m joining this year and so far I’m failing at each and every one of them. But you know what, I don’t even feel guilty anymore. I mean I join reading challenges to be challenged but I also don’t want to be hard on myself anymore. Reading should be fun and this is supposed to be an outlet for me especially when things in real life get hard, so no, I won’t be hard on myself anymore when it comes to reading.

Anyway, I’m here for my Netgalley TBR update. When the year started, I had around 55 ARCs on Netgalley, all of them from last year. As of writing this update, I have 80 ARCs and out of those ARCs, I’ve only read 8. Yep, 8 books. I really haven’t been reading. 🙂

Below are all the books in my Netgalley shelf. I crossed out the ones I’ve already read and provided the links to my reviews so if you want to check them out, that would be awesome.

Right now, my Netgalley Feedback Ratio is 65%. I know I can reach 100% so I think it’s OK to aim for that before requesting again. Besides I don’t think any publisher would approve me of anything considering my current ratio.

What about you? How’s your Netgalley shelf? Do we have similar books in our lists? What do you do when you get overwhelmed by your ARCs? Let’s chat.
