What is the Review Copy Cleanup?Nyx Book Reviews & Books, Biscuits and Tea were getting swamped in review books. We decided to make it all a bit more fun and are challenging you all to read your review copies with us! Clean up that big pile of books this August and join the Review Copy Cleanup. During the month of August we will host a number of Twitter parties and mini-readathons, to motivate ourselves and other participants! So if your review pile is getting out of control as well, make sure to join us on a quest to clean up our review copy pile and to have some fun in the process.
The Guidelines
- The challenge runs from 1 to 31 August
- To sign up, just fill in the Mister Linky below. Link to your sign up post directly please! The Linky is the same for both our blogs, so you only have to sign up once
- The sign up is open until 15 August 2012
- When you post your sign up post on your blog, either include the challenge button with your post or link it back to this article so that people know where to sign up. Thank you!
- Every book you received for review counts towards the challenge, both ebooks and hard copies, including all genres and lengths
- You don’t need to follow the two hosts in order to be able to sign up for the event (although it’s appreciated)
- Feel free to use the #RCCleanup hashtag on Twitter for your RCC related tweets or join in the Twitter party at http://tweetchat.com/room/RCCleanup and meet lots of awesome bloggers (:
- The dates of the readathons and Twitter parties will be announced closer to the RCC
My review request list is small-ish because I’ve stopped accepting them, but some are kinda old. It’s my responsibility to get them done regardless. SO…here’s my list.
Magisterium:I read it in 2 sittings. UBER impressed. Review 9/3.- Witch Devotions
Eve and AdamFull Blooded: a truly awesome start to a UF series!Devil’s Gate- Hunter’s Season
- Grim
- Arise
The Ripple Effect- The best in the series so far!The False Prince- EXCELLENT!- The Whisper
- Vamplayers
- Poughkeepsie
- Beautifully Broken
- You are not here
- The Roar
- Day by Day
Pretty When She DiesPretty When She KillsThe Infects- Rise
- Ravage
I don’t plan on taking requests (except from those I’ve worked with before) for an indefinite time now. I have way too many books of my own to read, and I kinda suck at staying on top of requests. I’ve accepted defeat.

Good luck! You can do it!
And Devil’s Gate counts toward All Series, All Summer!
LOL–I just did that with my ebooks! I reduced my NetGalley ARCs–especially ones pre-June–reviewed my little heart out and reduced the hell out of that pile. Dang, it really felt good. I do need to do that to my physical copies but they’re not nearly as out of control as my ebooks were. Still, I might join you!
I’m at the point where you are as well. I just can’t accept any review requests any more and I stay far, far away from Netgalley. My own books are piling up at a very alarming rate.
Yay for joining us Smash, and good luck! (:
