I joined this challenge hosted by Bookish Things & More in 2017 and it was a huge success, so I decided to sign up again. I managed to read a whopping 99!! Netgalley ARCs and 26 other ARCs in 2017 (complete list here), but I will be aiming a lot lower this year. Partly because I want to start reading my own books, partly because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get approved for ARCs as an International blogger, but that’s a whole different matter I don’t even want to think about.
I’ll be aiming for SILVER – 25 books.
EDIT: as of August, the challenge is hosted by Tina @ Reading Between The Pages! Also, since I’ve already reached my original goal ages ago, I’ve decided to increase my goal. As of now:
I’ll be aiming for PLATINUM – 75 books.
The list below is a list of ALL the ARCs I’ve been able to read in 2018. This includes other ARCs that won’t count for the Netgalley And Edelweiss challenge; those are marked in orange while the Netgalley ARCs are marked in green.

Thanks! Fingers crossed it will help me stay on top of those ARCs. (Although what I really need is a less trigger-happy finger when it comes to requesting xD )

I’m trying to cut down on ARCs and you’re making me feel so so bad :p

Shhhh I’m supposed to be not requesting any new ARCs either! Only about 10 left in total and then I’m going to give my poor neglected shelf babies my undivided time. (Ok, who am I kidding, I know Bookouture is going to put up a few thrillers on my most-anticipated list and we all know what is going to happen.) xD xx

You’ve read 10 ARCs already and we’re only a month in! I’ve read 3 of my own books so I’m quite happy too but I’m always too much of one or the other.. now I have to get back to the ARCs and I’m more in my own groove, ah it’s always something 🙂

Yeah, the balance is always tricky… I’m trying to alternate between them until I’ve brought the number of ARCs down below 5; it’s working, but I can’t wait to get to my own books again. Good luck to you!
