You have such a great selection of books here. I’m looking forward to reading some of them. I also wanted to ask if you have any tips on requesting arcs or how do you go about it? I’m just trying to broaden how I do things with my blog.

I get 99% of my ARCs through NetGalley. It’s a great place to go if you’re fine reading digital books. In addition to that, I’ve signed up for Blogging for Books (which sends you free physical books, but you have to upload a review before you can get a new one) and The NOVL (which I think is kind of the same way, I’ve only received two books from them so far). I’ve also tried contacting publishers directly, but haven’t had success so far with that route. Hope that helps!

Oh okay great thanks. Yeah I already use Netgalley and Blogging for Books. I haven’t heard back from many publishers either. Hopefully one day.
