Clean Sweep ARC Challenge

Today is the first day of the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge, hosted by Kimba at Caffeintated Book Reviewer and Angie at Angela’s Anxious Life.

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 Kimba at Caffeintated Book Reviewer 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. To help motivate you we will be giving one lucky participant a new 2014 release of their choice. You can earn entry points for each ARC you read and by joining in the fun. See rules below, link up, grab the button and get ready to clean up those ARCS!!!
