Hi. This will be quick.
This week I've read:
Finished Beautiful Americans by Lucy Silag
2/3 of Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
Willow by Julia Hoban
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
1/3 Because I Am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas
So, yeah, EXCELLENT reading week for me. and 4/5 of those are ARC's which is just CRAZY. I've never been surrounded by so many ARC's in my life. I've been by so many ARC's that I've had a few questions:
How many ARC's do you usually get in the mail in a week, month, whatever? Also, how do you pronounce ARC? I've heard it pronounced like Arc/Ark and A.R.C/A-R-C. How do you pronounce it?Myself? I pronounce it A.R.C./A-R-C.
Okay, enough about that. This week I hope to get to:
Finish Because I Am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Finish Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin
Breathe My Name by R.A. Nelson
and/or
Pretty Face by Mary Hogan
and/or
Take Me There by Susane Colasanti
So, yeah. Arrivederci (That's Italian)

Wow you read Willow? It looks so awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlla prossima Kelsey.
I pronounce it both ways. But usually I'm explaining it to people who don't know what it is, so I say Advanced Reader Copy :)
ReplyDeleteI usually say the letters out, A-R-C, but I'm sure I've said it the other way at least once.
ReplyDeleteAhh, so jealous that you're getting to read Take Me There. It's definitely tops on my to-buy list!
I usually either say it as a word (like ark) or I say the full title (or just advance copy). A-R-C just doesn't flow off the tongue, lol.
ReplyDeleteHow was Beautiful Americans? I so want to read it, but I can't get too ahead of myself in my reading pile, lol.
As for many ARCs I get, usually a couple a week, so maybe like 10 in a month? But it also depends on the month. Jillian from Penguin is sending me a bunch of ARCs, so I'll be getting in one day what I usually get in a month, lol.
Oh, and June was madness when I held that anniversary month contest. I had like over 100 ARCs (some of the same book) in my room to give away.
I say A-R-C. It makes me giggle to hear people pronounce it as a word.
ReplyDeleteI say ARC or galley.
ReplyDeleteCool !! U had so many books to read !!
