Monthly ARC's Update 23

So I read my next book for Monthly ARC's and it was Blood Scion by Deborah Falaye from the March list, and Sign Here by Claudia Lux from the October list!

Here's the link to this month's post with my journey.

How it Works: 
This is my monthly ARC accountability challenge, to list out the books that I have as ARC's that are being published in the coming month, rounding them up at the start of the month, and seeing how well I did at the end, as well as rounding up the next month's books.   

22 Books to Read in 2022 Update 7

So I read my next books for the 22 Books to Read in 2022 Challenge! 

So I read Little Wrecks by Meredith Miller from the Edelweiss list. 

Yep. Happy reading!

Here's the link to this year's post with my journey.

But to recap, I wanted to do a version of These Books Will Self Destruct in 12 months without the self destruct. I wanted to read books that I've had for a while, that I really needed to get read, but maybe I forgot about them or that I had them. So I made 2 lists, one for each way I have them, as physical books, and as ARC's, half from NetGalley, and half from Edelweiss. 

Book Blogger Hop #260, September 30th

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer's permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013. Check out the hop here

Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

The Question of the week is: Have you ever skipped ahead to read the ending? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Oh, yeah, all the time! I just need to know how things are going to end! What about you guys? Happy reading!

First Lines Friday #594, September 30th

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie of Precision Reviews. We encourage all of our fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

-Grab your current read(s)
-Share the first line(s)
-Include the title and author so that other FLF participants can add the book to their TBR Lists!

"George walked out of the hall with her shoulders stiff and her face so composed that I knew inside she had to be screaming.  The skin around  her sunglasses was tight, a sure sign that she was transferring all the tension to her eyes, where no one would be able to see it." Fed by Mira Grant

That doesn't sound good! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Random Reads #567, September 29th

Random Reads is a monthly meme (that I'm going to do weekly) hosted by I'm Loving Books to read some books that have been on our TBR piles for a long time. Using Random.org, I got 1805 which turned out to be The Last One Home by Victoria Helen Stone! It's been on my TBR pile since September 17th, 2020, and I added it because I enjoyed her other books! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Third Sentence Thursday #581, September 29th

Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!


Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme which likes to watch fireworks especially while eating a cookie!
1) Take the book you are currently reading and open it to a random page. Share the third full sentence on that page. (If there isn't a third one – like at the end of a chapter or a blank page – you can share the third sentence of the book or just choose another random page.) Feel free to share more than one sentence, if you feel the need to do so.
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence at Words I Write Crazy (This Blog)
4) Visit one or two of the other blogs to check out their third sentences!

"She grimaced and set down the porcelain cup." -The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova, page 20.

Will the Time Come #591, September 29th

Jayne Erixour believes she knows everything about the universe. As a bounty hunter and assassin, she's seen the worst dregs of humanity and every sentient species ever spat out of a hell realm. To her, there is no truth outside of her blaster’s recoil and her resolve to let no one get too close.

Hadrian Scalera is on the run from the same brutal assassins who slaughtered every member of his family, both birth and foster. He has no refuge and no one he dares to call friend, as it will mean the end of them. He expects no mercy from anyone, until the day one assassin hesitates to pull the trigger.

An assassin’s code is simple: Kill or be killed. No prey, no pay. Every life has a price.

If Jayne doesn’t fulfill her contract and kill Hadrian, she’ll be the next target on the League’s menu. But as old enemies return to hunt them both, they quickly learn that neither will survive unless they can learn to trust each other. Yet things are never so simple and survival means only one of them can be left standing . . .

Why the time hasn't come yet...
This book just came out, and I need to read it! What about you guys? Happy reading!
