Anyway

I'm up to 65 points ^_^

I have like 5 points xD I've been so busy! I just can't finish any books, although I end up reading late in the night. My only hope is that I'm reading like two or three at a time, so maybe I'll finish them all at the same time :D

Current total: 255

Well, I've got 125 so far because I finished two theme ARCs and started a third! The first one was Creatures of Will and Temper, and it was GREAT. I will be posting a review for it in January :) then I finished The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, but I didn't like it all that much, so I posted a review on Goodreads only. Now I'm reading King of Bones and Ashes and I'm loving it! A wonderful book.

I’ve got 75 points so far - 2 weeks of not requesting and read a themed ARC and posted an update. I’ll try to post a review soon (and try to keep up my streak of not requesting 😊)

5 points for starting Witch Song but ended up as a DNF.

Current total: 285

I always feel like I'm tallying these wrong - are we supposed to count each time we start a themed ARC? Or is: 5 points for starting a theme ARC (even if you won't finish it!) for DNF's only?

Every time for starting, so you are probably counting right :D

Ok, wow! I thought for a moment I've been counting wrong all along! Math win! (Not a normal thing for me :P) So I did end up with 500 - here's my final counts post: http://shesgoingbookcrazy.com/arcsano...

Nope, total math win :D you've been owning this group, I've told you that xD xD 500 has to be like the highest score ever! And you even posted a wrapup xD that is damn amazing. You WIN at this whole ARCing business.

P.S. I love the look of your new blog! What plugin is that that counts the score? Absolutely awesome!

Haha, thanks! Like I said, this group helps me immensely with keeping motivated to get ARCs read and reviewed. So, really, everyone here gets the praise!

And thank you! It's taken so many hours of work to get it set up! I'm still working on transferring a bunch of stuff over from my old site. But, it's easier than before!

I use a OceanWP theme that uses Elementor to set up the layout. It's one of the plugins that comes with Elementor. Super cool!

So I actually read two theme ARCs this month, although I wasn't trying :) I'm pretty glad!
