I joined this challenge during the last three years and every year so far turned out to be a big success. I’m hoping I’ll be less successful in 2020 though. Why? I want to focus more on my backlist titles; I managed to balance both better in 2019, but I didn’t meet the goal I was hoping for and I’m hoping to do better in 2020… This yearly challenge is currently hosted at Reading Between The Pages.
I’ll be aiming for SILVER – 25 books.
The list below is a list of ALL the ARCs I’ve been able to read in 2020. 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! I kind of hope I don’t though as that would mean I was able to stick to my promise to not request too many ARCs. xD So far I have ‘only’ ten more titles pending…

Good luck with all the arcs this year. 50 is quite a number! The idea’s of arcs stress me out. I can barely get around to reading my own books, I don’t need the pressure from a publisher on top of that 😂 So I definitely admire you haha

Haha the pressure thing is definitely a bit daunting! But I’ve learned to say no to ARCs and blog tours over time so my schedule doesn’t overflow too much… I kind of hope I won’t be able to reach the ARC goal though this year, as it would mean more relaxing and time to read my own books. 😉

Thanks! I kind of hope I don’t reach this goal though, because it would mean I will become better resisting those ARCs haha. 😉 Good luck with yours! xx

Good luck, Yvo! I thought about getting involved in this one, too, but I’m going to focus more on my backlist this year. Looking forward to seeing all of your reads. Six ARCs is already an impressive start!

Oh I feel you! I kind of hope I won’t make this goal either, as I really hope to make a dent in my pile of backlist titles this year too.
