Better Late Than Never ARC Challenge 2014

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2014 with a new round of the Better Late Than Never ARC Challenge. This is going to run the challenge for the whole year. I really need to get my review pile down to a more manageable level and hope that this challenge will motivate me. Same rules as before. Feel free to download and use this button or make your own. We hope you will join us. :)

Does looking at your ARC pile stress you out? Do you suffer from NetGalley or Edelweiss Guilt? Have you gotten so behind in your ARC reading that older ARCs have gotten pushed aside? Well then this challenge is for you. The Windy Pages, Nite Lite Book Reviews and The Reader’s Antidote have all teamed up and we are challenging ourselves to whittle down that ARC pile. This challenge will run from January 1st – December 31st, 2014. The rules are simple:

Goal: to get through those review books that are giving us review pile anxiety, and hopefully write reviews for those books.

Books may be physical ARCs or digital ARCs.

For book to qualify, release date must be at older than 6 months (release date earlier than July 1, 2013).

Give yourself a true challenge! Read at least 12 ARCs that fit in the category of being released before July 1, 2013 and then so on as the months continue (AKA, on February 1, 2014, they can be released before August 1, 2013; on March 1, 2014, they can be released before September 1, 2013, etc.). (This is just my goal – you can have a bigger or smaller goal as you prefer)
