For those who are new to the endless acronyms that come with the bookish world, ARC stands for Advanced Reader’s Copy. These are free copies of books sent out for pictures, reviews etc. by the Publisher to create hype around books in advance of publication. You can also get e-ARCs on sites like Netgalley or Edelweiss or even through an email from an author or agent etc.
While some people collect these, they are not for sale and are illegal to sell despite some listing them on websites like ebay. Don’t sell ARCs. Don’t buy ARCs. You can trade them with other readers, in fact, we support this.
I travel a ton. For the most part, I don’t mention it in my blogging because this is about reading folks! But I am out of town at least 2 weekends per month and still have to manage to get my reading in. These are some of the ways I sneak it in when traveling.
