Hello friends!
I’ve been seeing this challenge around and been thinking it looked fun, but I haven’t been in a good place to really try it out. Now I’m slowing down on my reading and taking more breaks (yay!) I have more time to blog. Although, the amount of ARCs I have backed up is truly stressing me out. I have 30+ ARCs that I need to read that are past their publication date– I know this isn’t as much as some people, but some of these are pushing the year mark…
That’s when it hit me.
Why not use this challenge to help me with my ARCs?!
A quick recap of what this challenge is… the Try a Chapter Challenge is one that started on Youtube (I believe) where the person reads the first chapter of five different books and chooses one of those books to read ASAP, based on the results. Some people also use this challenge to unhaul books as well.
Sometimes I just need a kick in the pants — I start reading and I’m good, it’s the build up and waiting that make it worse, I just need to get myself started! So, I’m hoping by giving myself a taste of these books I’ll be more willing to read them sooner. I am allowing myself to drop ARCs as well if after a chapter I realize it isn’t for me.
Phew~ That’s a lot of information! Hopefully I can do this challenge once or twice a month– I’m thinking I’ll do it every time I finish the book I pick. I won’t always use my ARCs for this challenge, but I figured it was a good place to start 😉 Continue reading “Try A Chapter Challenge – ARC Edition”
