This month's theme is another older one that I decided to bring back: ARC August! ARC August is all about reading review copies! Whether they're already released or hot upcoming ARCs, they count.
If you don't read review copies, you can pick any 2024 releases for this month's theme!
REMINDER: You don't have to only post the books you read that fit the theme, as long as one or more of your reads during the month match the prompt!
If you have any questions, check our general FAQ topic and see if it's been answered already. If not, ask away!
