ARCs Anonymous discussion

So. Is that discussion folder name corny, or not? :D (it's totally corny. But our meme is called State of the ARC, so it fits RIGHT in with all the corny!)

Anyway! It seems democracy has decided that this month's theme is 2018 ARCs, as most of you must want to start the year fresh and prepared!

So tell me, what will all of you be reading?

Lol, it's a little corny. But made me laugh, so!

I already finished one ARC - As You Wish. It's a contemporary YA read about a small town named Madison. The town harbors a secret wishing cave where only those born and raised in Madison get to make a wish on their 18th birthday. But of course, it's not what it's cracked up to be. I rated this 3.5 stars and will have a review up soon!

I've also started reading both The Hazel Wood & The Wolves of Winter. The Hazel Wood is a YA fantasy/horror story about non-other than the Hazel Wood estate, a place that Alice's Grandma left to her mother after she died. When they get their, her mother is stolen away by fairy-tale creatures and Alice must figure out how to get her back.

The Wolves of Winter is a Sci-Fi/Dystopia about a post-nuclear war world set in the Yukon. The main character Lynn tries to live a life of seclusion and sustain for herself, but a new threat brings the pre-war world back to her small town.

I'll share more as I go, since my reads don't always go according to plan. :P

I have finished The Upside of Falling Down and Nice Try, Jane Sinner and am currently reading Say You'll Remember Me, and I have to write reviews for them all!

I have finished The World Remains have to write review for it . Plan for Jan is to complete Manthan , Strangler,The Tree House,Liza's Second Chance

I have finished The Marriage Pact and have to write review now

I’m reading American Panda right now! I’m going to start The Last Girl on Earth next!

Alrighty, onto my next read: Zenith! I think many of you have already heard about this one, but it's written by some fellow booktubers! It's a YA space opera/sci-fi about an all-girl fleet on a spaceship who fights against an evil that wants to take over worlds across the galaxy.

I think I'm going to focus on .

It gets published this month (next week, to be exact), and I'm hoping to get to it before I participate in the Biannual Bibliothon on the 20th.

I've definitely heard of it. Mostly negative things, but I have heard of it. I like Sasha, she's one of my favorite Booktubers, but I also kind of feel bad how much people seem to be tearing their book apart. However, at the same, I can't seem to stop reading the negative reviews...

I've read Deadly Sweet by Lola Dodge and I am reading The Summer of Jordi Perez

My next ARC to complete is Keeper by Kim Chance. It's about a bookworm named Lainey who is attacked by a witch. Come to find out, she too, is a witch: a Keeper. Her power allows her to wield the Grimoire, a powerful book. But it's been stolen, and she needs to steal it back.

I hope this one isn't...cheesy...

It definitely wasn't the worst read I've read! It wasn't spectacular and had some good traits in it. There were just a few key elements missing that would make it more ensnaring. No matter what, I always respect any and all authors for taking the time to put into writing a book! It's so much work! And I also follow Sasha on Booktube :)

As of today, I've read 15 2018 ARCs with reviews scheduled out until April for one. You can see what I've read here and here's what I'll still be reading for the rest of January.

You've read 15!! Wow!! You are a record holder here, Kathy!

I've started reading Reign the Earth. It's about a girl names Shalia (wahoo! close to Sheila :P) who agrees to an arranged marriage to stop a long-lasting war with another clans group. Her new husband is bent on eradicating the land of the elementae--people who can control the elements. However, when Shalia discovers that she too, possesses this power, she is caught in a difficult position whether to support her husband, or protect the elementae.
