November Theme Pick - Your Oldest ARC

[Evelina | AvalinahsBooks]

In November, we will be reading our oldest ARCs. In the event that you're finished with your oldest one, read the next oldest one.

Please tell me what book you picked so I can put it on the group shelf!

haha this is EXACTLY what I need to do. Ok I'm trying these three ARCs again for like the fourth time :)

The Orphan's Tale

The Wolf Road

The Gilded Cage

fingers crossed ;-)

[Karen]

This is a great idea. My oldest ARCs haunt me every time I check in on NetGalley.

Suspicion

A Doubter's Almanac

Gambit

I never even picked these up but I sure had no problem requesting them. Thanks for the motivation. I will add these to my list for State of the ARC.

[Sascha]

This is also the month of nanowrimo, so my reading is going to be limited. I will try to read 3 old arcs (eeks).

Jade Lady Burning
The Last Detective
Rock Paper Tiger

Hopefully this will be enough incentive! Thanks. :)

I'm doing NaNoWriMo too! good luck! 😊

[Lauren]

Okay do I pick the oldest ARC I received OR the oldest published ARCs I own?? Hmmm

[Katie]

Apparently I need to read Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning by Timothy Snyder.

If I have time I'll also be reading This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp.

[Sheila]

So I'm choosing my oldest ARCs by the date they were approved - not the date they were published as some were before I was approved for a copy. Anyways, my picks include:



I hope to get to more, but we'll see.

So cool everyone! I have to say though, this time I'll be adding the books when you say you've finished, cause otherwise I have 50 books on the shelf of which I have to remove 40 later :D so I'll add it when you tell me you've finished. And why do I add it rite group shelf? Well, basically to brag that, for example, last month as a group we read 17 ARCs!!! Although I think it's probably more because not everyone notified me they finished :D so isn't that cool!!!

[Gemma]

Ok I have two books that have been taunting me for ages. These are and

[Katie]

My two oldest ARCs are Nadya's War by C. S. Taylor and The Mapmaker's Daughter by
Katherine Nouri Hughes. Have lots of them to read though!

[Grace]

My oldest ARC is , The List, by Patricia Forde. If I finish this one, I'm going to attempt to tackle , The Shadow Land, by Elizabeth Kostova.

[Caro | Mintcolouredpages]

My oldest ARC is Literally Me by Julie Houts and I hope can finally finish it because I think I can only read it on my laptop and I hate doing that :'D

I also hope to start with Forest of A Thousand Lanterns now that I also have a physical copy lying around

[Katie]

I finished and reviewed Nadya's War today! :)

[Melanie]

I'm going to focus only on my Netgalley titles for this as that's pretty much my focus until the end of the year to get my ratio up.

I have 4 titles left that pubbed in 2016 which I'd like to get to this month.



I should be able to start the first one (Missing, Presumed) this week after I catch up on reviewing some other books I've read recently.

[Sascha]

Thanks! I hope your Nano is going better than mine! :)

Ooh, Grace - you've got The List! I've heard good stuff about that one. And the rest of your books also look cool! I have finished my first oldie, it was so dark though... About the middle ages and the plague. The funny thing is that the second oldest one I have... is about an epidemic of cholera xD so... basically the same :D and I don't really want to read such a downer again xD

[Lauren]

Okay so I think I've finally decided how to approach this theme because its pretty open.

I've gone with my physical review copy of Later with Myself: The Misadventures of Millie Moskowitz which i received in 2011.

The Bloodprint which is my oldest phyiscal ARC i got this year

Renegades which is my oldest eARC from NetGalley this year

and if i still have a copy of it Rape Girl which is my oldest eARC from NetGalley in 2012.

So yeah I'll aim to read some of these :D

[Katie]

I'm trying to tackle that great lump of books with Shelter, Lies She Told and For The Winner :)

[Evelina | AvalinahsBooks]

Lauren, 2012??!! wow! you better track that one down wherever it is :D
Katie, good luck reading:)
