So Many Precious Books, So Little Time

I'm in :)
http://abookgeek.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-arc-reading-challenge.html

I'm backing off of ARCs this year, but I'll post your challenge on my Official List for other people to find. (Stealing Athena is quite good, BTW!)

Lezlie

PS I stole your Obama pic. :-)

Count me in. Here's my post.

I wanna play! http://www.bookconfessions.com/?p=963

What an awesome challenge! I'll be back later with my link. :)

Do these have to be ARCs (like marked on the book) or books sent to us to reviewed. If so, I don't think there is an audio ARC. Audios are published after the hardcovers or so I've been told.

Good question J.Kaye! Probably only half of the books I have to review are actual ARCS. Definitely considering joining this one!

Alea, I know! I have like 20 review books, but one actual advance copy. And that was given to me by a friend...lol!

Maria, Laza, and Jamie,

Thanks for joining the challenge!

Lezlie,

I should be backing off ARC's but have a horrible addiction! Enjoy the Obama pic!

J Kaye,

They don't have to say ARC. I consider anything sent from a publisher or author for you to review, an ARC. I was just sent an audiobook from Hatchette to review, so it would count. Also, sometimes on Shelf Awareness, the ARC's or Galley's I am sent don't say ARC on them. Sometimes there are the actual finished product, which is always a treat. I'm glad you are going to join!

Alea,

I hope you join!

Teddy Rose ~ If they don't have to be actual ARCs, only books sent to me by publishers/publicists/authors to review, then I have my list! Yippee! Thanks!!

I'm joining. Here is my post:http://sharonlovesbooksandcats.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-arc-reading-challenge.html

A incentive to get cracking my ARC pile. Here's the link.

Callista,

Thanks for joining the challenge. I plan to read all ARC's in January. I'll post your button on my blog with a link to your January challenge.

Alea, Alyce, J. Kaye, Amy, Literatehousewife, Melissa, Sharonanne, and Marcia,

Thanks to all of you for joining! It looks like we all have quite a few ARC's to read and review. It should be fun.

Tracee and Dar,

I'm glad that you are going to join in the fun! I look forward to seeing your lists.

me! me! My post is http://purplemoonmyst.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/313/#comments

I just updated my post by adding all the books. :( I have WAY more than I thought. I am going to have to start saying no more.

Hey Teddy Rose,
Count me in again, I'm just bad about posting my list but I will get to it on vacation:)
Thanks for hosting! This is the only challenge I join (time)

Purplemoonmyst,

Thanks for joining the challenge!

Tracy,

I look forward to seeing you post. I'm glad your joining!

J. Kaye,

Nice list! I may catch-up to you "long-listers" I have more ARC's on the way. LOL! There like Lays Potatoe chips, "You can just eat(request, read)just one". LOL!

Teddy Rose ~ Unless the book fits in the criteria of the 2009 book challenges, I won't be accepting more. If I don't, I'll never finish them!

I'm in! Thanks for hosting. I have just started reading ARC's so this is a good opportunity for me to keep them organized too! My list so far is here: http://booksandneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-arc-reading-challenge.html

J. Kaye, lets see how long you stick to that plan. LOL!

Wow Kristi, for someone who just started getting ARC's, you sure have a good list. I hope you enjoy the challenge.

Took me a little bit, but here's my link:

http://thebookczar.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-arc-reading-challenge.html

Hi! I'm joining this ARC challenge again. :) This is my Challenges page. Will update soon.

Thanks!

Sign me up! Here is my post about the challenge. I'm going to go with the literal definition of ARC and only list those books which are truly ARCs (even still...I have far more than 12!!!)

Josette and Wendy,

I'm so glad that your joiningn in the fun!

I'm in again ;)

Here's the link. I've got the challenge posted, but will have to come back in a day or so with my list :)

All,

It seems that there are some in this group are ARC obsessed. For those among us who will surpass the overacheivers level, I am now adding the Totally ARC obsessed level. The object, to read over 25 ARC's.

Who among us think they will be Totally ARC Obsessed?

I'm going for it! I have a zillion to read so that's all i'm reading currently!

LOL-I'm definitely in for the Totally ARC Obsessed! I'm already halfway there.

Next one is Bloodprint by Kitty Sewell.
