Rules:

The rules are very simple:

  • It may be a physical ARC or eARC but it MUST be an ARC

  • Yes it can be an ARC that has already released; as long as it’s an ARC I’m not going to nit pick really

  • HAVE FUN WITH THIS! Feeling like you are being “forced” to read is the best way turn a fun event into a yucky obligation.

  • Update post! I personally will do a post for each Saturday in August but that’s just me. You can update once a week, every other week or once for the whole darn event. This update can be in the form of a blog/tumblr post, vlog, link to your “ARC August 2015″ shelf or even an instagram pic! I want to make this as easy and low pressure as possible for you.

Now you know me: Mr. One Book in Two Months—but it’s been better as of late—and so I am hoping to read these four books before their releases next month.

(The real story here is how I was debating whether or not to sign up and then it started thunderstormin’ and hailing, followed by my power going out. Then my mind thought of the uncertainty that I wouldn’t be able to get that post up in time for the sign-up deadline. With that, I took the anxiety as a message from the Weather Gods. And here we are. The rain has also stopped…)
