I am obviously *not* the expert on ARCs. I only request one or two a year, despite being a virtual blogging veteran at this point 😉 So perhaps I should keep my trap shut and let other more experienced bloggers take the lead on this topic… but then when have I ever managed to do […]
The NeBUloUs Topic of ARCs — the orang-utan librarian
I know I’ve promised before that I’d be back soon, but this time I really will be back to blogging soon. I’m going to take a little while getting through my backdated review posts (there’s only almost 40 of those 0_o).
Then, once I’ve got those out of the way, I’ll hopefully have been reading again to get through some of the review copies I promised (better three years late than never right?)
And then, once I’ve got through them, I’ll open the review requests back up, but with some more strict limits on the number of books I’ll accept.
See you all again soon!

I’ve currently still got 27 review books (via my blog) and an additional 10 books from NetGalley and ARCs from publishers to get through. The plan is to get through these 37 books by the end of 2017 and have a clean slate for review requests from January 2018.
I’ll still be blogging my reviews (and possibly and article or two) over the next six months so keep your eyes peeled for new content.
