ARC August: The Reading List

I'm sure we all know by now that I am horrible at readathons. I try to bite off way more than I can possibly chew (or read) and end up getting not a whole lot chewed (or read) (see also: Why does my desire to read seem to decline when it's summer?!). Yet here I am, signing up for another readathon. But hey, practice makes perfect, and I need to tell and teach myself that yes, Rachel, you CAN read x amount of books in a month and be successful at a readathon. And also, I have many ARCS that need to be read.

Fortunately, Octavia at Read.Sleep.Repeat has come to the rescue with a readathon. (And it's kind of funny, because I was thinking about all the ARCs I needed to read in August and then bam--I saw a tweet about what she was doing!) Enter ARC August, which is exactly as it sounds: reading ARCs in August.

And here's me, once again biting off more than I can chew (aka, what I hope to read, in a tentative list):

-Finish Wild by Alex Mallory (I fell behind on this, oops!)
-Evil Fairies Love Hair by Mary G. Thompson
-The Gateway Through Which They Came by Heather Marie
-Amity by Micol Ostow
-The Zoo at the Edge of the World by Eric Kahn Gale
-The Jewel by Amy Ewing
-Of Monsters and Madness by Jessica Verday
-Vampires of Manhattan by Melissa de la Cruz
-Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
-Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (I am NOT waiting until November to read this.)

I have many, many, many ARCs to get read, with past, future, and just-around-the-corner release dates. The above is what I HOPE to get read, but it really all depends on my mood. So we'll just have to wait and see what I get read (I'm striving to do well)!

Big thanks to Octavia at Read.Sleep.Repeat for putting ARC August together! Be sure to follow along on Twitter and all that with #ARCAugust! And definitely use that hashtag on August 4th at 8:00 p.m. EST, because there's going to be a Twitter chat (aka PARTAY)!

What ARCs are you hoping to get read in August?
