This is the original ARC Challenge That I created in 2010,I hope all of you ARC Readers will join me again in 2013 for the ARC Reading Challenge. I welcome old and new participants. I don’t know about you, but my ARC pile is way too big.
Note: I use the term “ARC” loosely, any book a publisher or author gives you with the expectation that you review it, counts for this challenge.
The Levels
Level Bronze: .a. All of us who have or will have less than 12 ARCS must read all of the ARCS we have. Note, that if you have 11 ARC’s and then receive a 12th one you will be bumped up to category b.
b. All of us who have or will have 12 or more than 12 ARCS must read and review at least 12.
Level Silver: Read 24 ARCS
Level Gold: Read 30 ARCS
Level Platinum: Read 35 or more ARCS

Yay, thanks for hosting again, Teddy!
Love this great challenge
Looking forward to doing this one again!
good luck to everyone that sign up!
I’m laughing Teddy, because after 4 years I’ve figured out the surest way for any book in this house to languish unread is to put it on a list, enter it in a challenge, or even just mark it TBR. I’ll be watching your blog (you’re in my feeder) and if I do review an ARC, I’ll add it to Mr. Linky. Good luck, and thanks for reminding us how much fun reading is.
Awesome challenge. Good luck 🙂
Looking forward to doing this.
This is just what I was looking for! Thank you!
I haven’t participated since 2010. Hoping this will help me at least get partially caught up on my review pile. Thanks for hosting!
