Clean Sweep ARC Challenge

Back in March, I joined Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Take Control of Your TBR Pile challenge and must admit I failed miserably at it. I only ended up reading one book and I didn't even get my review up in time. But now she's co-hosting the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge for the month of May and I have a pile of review books I'm dying to read, so I'm convinced I can do better with this one.

 

I have more than enough books to choose from, but here are a few at the top of my list:

The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow   The River of No Return   A Hundred Summers
Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X, #1)   The Testing (The Testing, #1)   Icons (Icons, #1)

Apparently I have a blue theme going on here! Six books is probably a bit ambitious, but I'll see how things go. I also have plenty of others to choose from if I decide I'm in the mood for something else, so no worries there.

I have The River of No Return from NetGalley, but I've already jumped the gun and bought a hardcover copy, so I'm still counting it! I think that is the one book I am most looking forward to reading.

Click on the challenge badge above to learn more and join in the fun.
Wish me luck!

  1. That's so smart - I should do that, too. I have too many ARCs that I'm working my way through.

  3. Good Luck Christine!

    I can't wait to see what you think of The River of No Return. In reality all those books on your reading list look awesome and I can't wait to see what you think of all of them. I have The Testing at home just waiting to be read. I'm almost to the point where I can read it. Woot!

    1. Thanks Kay -- I'm definitely interested to hear what you think of The Testing -- I'm starting to wonder if it's going to be the next big "thing" in YA.

  5. 'A Hundred Summers' looks good!

    I think I should do this challenge - I had decided May was to be my 'NetGalley' month, so I'm half way there!

  6. Christine - I so very much enjoy your posts and our blogging conversations, so I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. It's just a little way to highlight blogs with fewer than 200 followers. Let me know if you want to accept! Thanks - Kristin
