It's happened y'all.
Ever since I started blogging (many moons aka 3 months ago) I've seen advanced readers copy books pop up on almost every book blog I perused. If you're like me and are slightly out of the loop, ARCs are advanced digital or print editions of books that are sent out pre-publication in order to drum up publicity and awareness. This is helpful for any book but especially for books from small publishing companies or by new authors.
Since I almost exclusively read library books, the idea of getting free books didn't really hold any special appeal, and so I never applied for digital ARCs.
Until now.
Too much free time at work (I'm at a weird point hovering in between projects right now) meant that I finally got around to figuring out how NetGallery (big site to get digital ARCs) worked, and applying for my first ARCs.
And to my massive shock and surprise, I was approved, and several digital ARCs found their way onto my Kindle! Like. What?
The Woolly Hat Knitting Club by Poppy Dolan
A feel good romance featuring a feisty main character and tons of knitting references. I'm enjoying it thus far!
The Medievalist by Anne-Marie Lacy
A time slip novel (aka one of my favorite genres). We'll see if it meets my high expectations.
Sing a New Song by Lydia Brownback
A Christian study of one of my favorite parts of the Bible, the Psalms! I never read through study books on my own, so I'm excited about this one. Also can we talk about how gorgeous this cover is??
What about you? Are you a fan of ARCs or like me have just started reading them??
