It’s been a minute since I’ve done an eARC/ARC update post. It’s kind of up in the air, EW is still denying me for everything, shocker. And NG is pretty hit or miss. I’m kind of drowning in the feeling of having too many ARCs to read, and I’ve been lowkey waiting for them to come out to do the audiobooks.
I need more hours in a day…or someone to pay me to just read, blog and write full time.
Having to work 8+ hours, come home and do chore crap, and then blog stuff, and reading and maybe writing – I’m exhausted all the time.
But it’s fine. I don’t regret it.
And before I dive into the update on NG and EW, I’m going to quickly list what eARCs/ARC I hauled in May’21. I didn’t include these in my May’21 Haul post, since I knew I was going to be doing this one. So, here they are.
ARCs / eARC’s Acquired in May:
Untethered (Shielded #2) – KayLynn Flanders
The Queen Will Betray You (Kingdoms of Sand and Sky #2) – Sarah Henning (for book tour)
Fae Away (Fae Bloodlines #1) – Rose Garcia
Grace and Glory (Harbinger #3) – Jennifer L. Armentrout
For the Wolf (Wilderwood #1) – Hannah F. Whitten
Gutter Girl (Twin River High #1) – Kelly Anne Blount & Lynn Rush
Project Personality (Twin River High #2) – Kelly Anne Blount & Lynn Rush
Chaos Theory (Twin River High #3) – Kelly Anne Blount & Lynn Rush
Stolen Shadow Bride (Stolen Brides of the Fae #4) – S.M. Gaither
A Bargain of Blood & Gold – Kristin Jacques
You and Me at the End of the World – Brianna Bourne (Physical and digital arcs for tour)
It was a nice haul last month, I’ve managed to read a few of them, others are coming up. I’m going to be a part of 2 book tours, and a few authors sent me advanced copies of their upcoming releases. I’ve been approved for my first EW eARC, but only because I’m part of a book tour – still can’t get them to approve anything for me. I just recently did a request spree for the hell of it, and I’m almost certain everything has been denied – and I guess we’ll find out together lol.
So, let’s take a look.

I didn’t have any expectations when it came to requesting on EW – my luck there is nonexistent, but shoot your shot right? NG has so many great books sitting in pending hell, so my fingers are crossed. I’ve been denied for a few that I’m excited for, but honest, I’m not that bothered by it. I just means I’ll end up listening to the audiobook while at work. And I’m not upset about that fact. But there are some currently pending that I do really want, so I’m trying to boost my Reviewer Rating as high as possible, to maybe help my chances!
my goodness!! how do you get approved for so many!

Honestly, I have no idea. Some of them are complete and utter shocks. And somehow I’ve gotten on a few pub email lists and I occasionally get them that way 🙈 but not often. And either I get a bunch at once, or none at all. it skews my reviewer rating lol
