I love doing ARC August each year because it actually works for me!! I actually force myself to kill off some TBR!! And read review books instead of randoms!!! Also, my friends at Read.Sleep.Repeat do such a great job at hosting this-- and this year I heard there are games??? I freaking love games!!! So go over there, make your own to-read post, and join in the fun!!
My ARC August Plan:
Wilder Girls by Rory Power
- Sort of cheating because I've already started this, but I'm a slow reader, so there's zero chance I'll finish it before August 1st (or 2nd or 3rd).
Here There are Monsters by Amelinda Bérubé
- I am so stinking excited to read this book!! I skimmed the first chapter just to see what it was like and !!!!
Suggested Reading by Dave Connis
- This comes out at the end of September, but I'm pretty interested in it, so I want to read it now!! I love that this is a book about banned books (seriously people, stop banning books!!!).
#Murderfunding (Murdertrending #2) by Gretchen McNeil
- I didn't LOVE the first book (it was a tad unbelievable and had a lot of things happen that were a little too convenient), but I want to give the 2nd book a try-- and I really like this author!!
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
- This book was so hyped at ALA this year. And I love and miss Dystopian, so I'm definitely fitting it in!
City of Beasts by Corrie Wang
- I just finished this author's first book (The Takedown) and was OBSESSED!!! I can't wait to see what else she comes up with!!
Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley
- This book came out a few months ago and I was bummed that I didn't get to it. So thank you ARC August!!
The Lying Woods by Ashley Elston
- I always try to pick a book from the year before that I didn't get to and this is one from 2018 that I really wish I would have read. Plus, her new book is coming out (10 Blind Dates) this fall and I'd like to be caught up with her works before I read that!
I'm super excited to read these books-- so here's to hoping that I can read fast and stay motivated (and my mood reading gets under control!!).
Have you read any of these books?? Any that I should be reading first??
Here there are Monsters looks thrilling! I've seen great things for Wilder Girls. I hope you enjoy and complete the challenge!

I just started WILDER GIRLS-- it's so weird. But maybe a good weird??? We'll see. I am pumped for HERE THERE ARE MONSTERS. I hope it's great!
DeleteDEPOSING NATHAN! I loved that book. I'm excited for Suggested Reading and #murderfunding too. I hope they are good reads!

YAY!!! So great to hear that!! Can't wait to start it-- and the others too.
DeleteBooks plus games are good! Good luck with this one! I need to get Wilder Girls.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I can't wait to see what the games are!
DeleteI am going to be reading Suggested Reading at some point soon. I hope it's good for both of us. I heard great things about The Lying Woods. I had started the audiobook, but it wasn't working for me, so I was going to try reading it. It may work better that way for me.
ReplyDeleteI started it and got distracted too!! I was hoping it would stick this time!
DeleteWoohoo, thanks for joining!!! Good luck with your TBR, it looks awesome!
