Can you add a few more to your ARC list so you can be the one with the longest list as opposed to me? You’re almost there.
It sounds like you are in the same bout I am in when it comes to these types of books.
Good luck with the challenge!
Your list makes me feel better about my pile. Good luck with the challenge.
Wendy, check back next week. A few more will probably make it into my mailbox. lol.
Thanks Kathy. That’s some serious reading I need to do.
I think for once, my list is shorter…lol!
Love this challenge and am thankful Teddy is doing this the entire year!
I’ve heard great things about Gods Behaving Badly! I’ve stopped seeking out and accepting new ARCs until I can get my pile finished (only about half a dozen deep). Good luck with the stack!!
It’s a long list, but there is a lot of good stuff there! Good luck!
Lezlie
That’s quite the list Dar. I loved Mudbound and found it a fast read.
Thanks for joining the challenge!
You have some great reading ahead of you, Dar.
Happy Reading
I’m reading The Land of Invisible Women now.

Wendy, I did actually add a couple more to this list. lol.
J.Kaye, this is a great challenge. It’s good to have all the arc’s listed in one place too and then I’m able to see my progress.
Trish, I’m not seeking out or accepting many books right now until I get this pile cut down quite a bit.
Thanks Lezlie.
Hey Teddy, thanks for hosting this great challenge.
Joy, I’m always anxious to get on to the next book and see what it holds but it’s overwhelming sometimes seeing how many I’m behind on.
Naida, thanks. I can’t wait to see your review of Land of Invisible Women.
Wow, Dar, you are doing several challenged this year! Good for you! I didn’t do so hot on them last year, so other than the Audio Challenge, not sure what others I will do. They are so much fun though!
April, I have a few challenges but nothing compared to some. I don’t know how others keep up to what they have. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that I keep up with my own. lol.
