Clean Sweep ARC Reading Challenge and May Wrap Up Post

Clean Sweep ARC Challenge May 2014


May is over and I did fairly well...at least for me...

Here's what I read for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge:

Hanging By A Hair by Nancy J. Cohen
Guidebook to Murder by Lynn Cahoon
Murder Is Academic by Lesley A. Diehl
Healing Her Heart by Audra North (review to be posted during the blog tour on June 3rd)
The Yankee Way by Willie Randolph
Uncharted by Tracey Garvis-Graves
All Things Murder by Jeanne Quigley (review to be posted during the blog tour on June 6th)

and added to my May count, but not for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge is...

How to Moon A Cat by Rebecca M. Hale

So, that makes 7 books for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge.  I wanted to read 10 but 7 isn't bad.  Plus, I did a couple from NetGalley and Edelweiss, so that helped especially since they were books I've been dying to read anyway.

My total for May is 8 books which also isn't bad.  I usually do a few more when I read audios, but no audios this month.

Clean Sweep ARC Challenge May 2014

Clean Sweep ARC Challenge May 2014

With all the ARCs I have from authors, publishers, NetGalley, and Edelweiss, I need this challenge desperately. I will post my goals on May 1st, but here's the details about the challenge...

Are your ARC’s stacking up? Have published dates come and gone? Are you feeling like you need to get those piles under control?  Are you avoiding NetGalley and Edelweiss? Or maybe you want to get ahead of your summer ARCS to make  time for the beach? If you answered yes to any of these questions then I invite you to join me and my lovely co-host Angie @ Angela’s Anxious Life to make a Clean Sweep in the May with our month long Clean Sweep ARC Challenge.
