What is the Review Copy Cleanup?
RCC is a month-long event in which Celine from Nyx Book Reviews and myself challenge ourselves to read as many review books as we possibly can. We are both notorious for accepting way too many review requests and consequently, our to-be-read piles are pretty daunting. In order to get some extra motivation we invented Review Copy Cleanup. This year we are keeping things simple – no challenges or scheduled Twitter chats, just weekly updates so we can all keep track of each other’s process – and lots of reading, of course. You’re welcome to keep track of the challenge in the way that’s most convenient for you.
I desperately need to focus on reviews! With the 11 hour days that I've been working, my January mainly consisted of working, spending all day Saturday working on scheduling out tour obligations and meme's and catching up on visiting other blogs, and spending Sunday's catching up with family household obligations.
There was very little review writing happening...I am hoping that my work schedule will be a bit more forgiving this month and I'll be able to catch up a bit. Not all of these books are technically "Review Copies" but as I hope/plan to write reviews for them all I am including them!Complete reviews for the following books that I have already read!

Oh wow. You do have quite a few reviews to write. I usually lag behind by one or two but I find that if I wait too long I end up forgetting things. I hope you took notes.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with 6 books to read. I have a HUGE list of books to review! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing what you think of The Fault in Our Stars :) I still need to read that one. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteDo you get most of your review copies from sites like netgalley and eidelweiss or directly from the publisher?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals! Thanks for stopping by my goal post!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog design - so pretty! :)
Best of luck with your goals, and hope you do get more time to write your reviews! :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, you have quite a month ahead of you if you achieve all that! I hope you do it, that'd be EPIC! Hopefully you get more time away from work! I can't wait to hear what you think about The Night Strangers! I think that was one of my fav books last year!! :D
