One of my main goals this year was to get to 50 NetGalley reviews and an 80% feedback ratio. I’ve actually gotten up to 99 reviews, and my feedback ratio is holding steady at 80%. So, I’ve met and surpassed my goal. It has been a truly great year, and I’m so grateful to all the publishers that provided advanced copies for me to review. I hoped to have all of my 2022 ARCs read before the end of the year, but I’ve still got two left. I’ve also got so many great 2023 releases to dive into, and I’m very excited about all of them. Believe it or not… This was me being reserved in my requests. lol. I’m not sure what my target for 2023 will be yet, but regardless of my goals, I’ve got some great 2023 reads to look forward to.

There you have it! Here’s to another great year of reading, reviewing, and blogging. I hope you are all having a fantastic end to your year and enjoying the holiday season!
Woo, nicely done, Chris! That 80% is definitely goals and I’ve been trying to hit it for ages now, haha! 😂 SO many of these books look great and I have a couple of them on my NG list too. I can’t wait to read them and I hope you enjoy them as well!
Thank you! It was tough getting to that 80%. lol. I don’t know how long it will last, but I’m going to try my best to stay above that number.
I really eyed Blood Debts for a while on NG, but ultimately decided to play it safe. I got so burned out early last year trying to dig myself out of a hole of my own making haha. You did a great job with all of your ARC reviews–congrats!
I told myself I wouldn’t bury myself in ARCs again next year, and I’ve already failed spectacularly at that goal. Lol
