Hello, hello, hello!!! I’m back! 😀
Today, let me introduce you to a brand-new reading challenge I discovered on Twitter—ARC August—an idea coming from Read.Sleep.Repeat by Shelly. Interestingly, this reading challenge has actually been held for five years already!
So what is ARC August? Basically, it’s a reading challenge that EVERYONE who has advance reader’s copies (ARCs), either in physical or e-format, can join. As for August, well, this challenge is a monthly event in August so feel free to sign up here whenever you’re ready within the month! (PS. This is open to literally everyone as long as you have a social media account where you can use the hashtag #ARCAugust to participate, so there’s no need to worry if you don’t have a book blog!)
Anyways, my goal for this challenge is to finish reading the following ARCs as well as books kindly provided by the authors in exchange for honest reviews.

Thanks to Macmillan Publisher for sending me The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich and I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo! I can’t express my gratitude enough! ❤
Thanks to my new writer-friend, Aimee Brown, for holding this wonderful blog tour for her debut novel, Little Gray Dress (Amazon) .
Thanks to another awesome friend, James Morris, for offering me a chance to read and review his latest book, Feel Me Fall (Amazon). Shamefully admitting, I have yet to read the previous highly-rated book, Melophobia (Amazon) so I made up my mind to bury my nose in both of them before summer ends.
All in all, I personally think this challenge is a perfect way to help me stay motivated when it comes to the endless piles of unread books! Knowing that lots of YOU are taking part in this event is a huge relief to me because I know I’m not alone in reading review copies. So THANK YOU! 😀
Last but not least, good luck to all those who’ve joined #ARCAugust reading challenge! Please let me know how it goes & I can’t wait for your thought by the end of this month! Stay in touch, lovelies!
xoxo

I think I won’t join for now. I’m taking a short break, maybe a month, on blogging because I need to focus this month on my studies. 🙂 Goodluck on this challenge! 😄

The Love Interest definitely captivated me with its smart concept although had a bit of execution flaws for me by the end of it, but the early parts were overall fun to read! Enjoy!
