Clean Sweep ARC Challenge: Wrap Up

 

Hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer and The Windy Pages

The challenge dates: May 1 to 31st. 

 

I am so glad I joined this challenge.  I didn't read a ton of new books.  I didn't even get 5 off of my TBR list.  But what I did do was a big first step in the right direction.  Here is my sign up post with my goals and the huge list of books sitting here looking at me.

1.  I completed 3 books.  Yeah!  I could have read one more but I wanted to finish a few other books laying around here.  

2.  I now have a list of the ARC's in my house.

3.  All the ARC's are now in one area in my house. They were here and there on the bookcase.  Now they all live in one space.  Happily together!  *le sigh*

4.  My Library page has now ARC labels on the ARC's I have read.  How cool is that?

I didn't get time to join in the mini-challenges but I hope *fingers crossed* they host this challenge one more time.  Say like in August around Bout of Books.  Hummm!  Hint!  Hint!

Clean Sweep ARC Challenge May 2013

Hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer and The Windy Pages

The challenge dates: May 1 to 31st. 

Yes! Another Reading Challenge to help me clean up my bookshelf.  So what is this new challenge all about?   

The goal: to read and review as many ARC's as we can. We will have fun challenges each Saturday hosted by some wonderful bloggers and a prize for two luck participants at the end of the challenge. So gather your ARCs and your brooms and lets have some fun! -From Kimba

I honestly thought I had 5 to 8 ARC sitting on my over crowded bookshelf ...until today.  I just went book by book and low and behold I have 18 ARC on my shelf.  What the ??  When did these get here!?
And check this out!  Some of them are out and have been for a year now.  LOL!  One of them has been made into a movie and is out on DVD already!  I hope that one still counts.
So don't laugh but here is my list of ARC's in no particular order.
