Review Copy Cleanup 4.0!

Posted January 31, 2014 by Emma in Blog / 7 Comments

Hi Everyone, today I’m really pleased to say that I’m joining this feature. I’m always struggling behind with my review pile. But this year I want to crack down on it with all the books that I receive through the post. Here is a little bit about RCC and if you would like join yourself, click here

RCC is a month-long event in which Celine from Nyx Book Reviews and Vicky from Books, Biscuits and Tea challenge ourselves to read as many review books as we possibly can. We are both notorious for accepting way too many requests, and consequently our to-be-read piles are pretty daunting. For some extra motivation to read, we invented the Review Copy Cleanup. This year we are keeping things simple – no challenges and just one scheduled chat, and weekly updates so we can all keep track of each other’s progress. You’re welcome to keep track of the challenge in the way that’s most convenient for you.

These will be the books that I will be reading and reviewing this are:

Paperback
 17568548 15697915 18684864   The Finisher
NetGalley
15839976 18755824 19101169 
Am I going to get through all of these?! I have given myself one hell of big Review Pile and but we’ll see how it goes. This may encourage me to do so. 
Are you joining the Review Copy Cleanup? If so link me up… 
Are you reading any of these book or have you read them? I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Leave me a comment below.

Happy Bookish New Year 2014

Happy New Year Everyone! Its been a long time since I have written a post and I think this is a good a time as any… a new year a new start. 2013 has been weird year for me with finishing and graduating college, starting a full time job and recently starting a NVQ, so I’m studying again. There has been very little time for reading, designing and blogging but that will change this year. I think I’m going to start by looking at the best 10 books of 2013…(I’m sure I could add a lot more to this list) […]
