When I first started noticing reviews, people kept talking about "ARCs" in exchange for an honest review. I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about, so, I did what any normal human being would do and turned to Google for answers.
What I found astonished me. An "ARC" is an advanced reader copy. What that means, is that before the book is released to the general public, it can be available to some people in exchange for a honest review.
Yes, please! I mean, you are just going to give me books I already want to read... for free.... before they are available to even buy? And you're going to do all that, just for my honest opinion. My, how the book gods are smiling down on me.
Needless to say, I am ecstatic about the endless possibilities and new avenues this is opening up for me. As all avid (or obsessive, however you want to look at it) readers and book lovers can attest to, this is an exciting thing to be a part of.
And if the mere idea of doing something as phenomenally awesome as this had your mouth dropping open, then you will completely understand the insane giggling that came from my mouth today when I received an "ARC" for Laura Thalassa's The Decaying Empire.
So with that my lovely readers and fellow book junkies, I am off to read my highly anticipated "ARC".
Review to follow shortly.
