2015 ARC Master List

I implemented a new strategy in 2013 using the inventory control method of LIFO (last-in, first-out) while reading my ARCs and managed to read 79% of all ARCs received during the year 2013.  That's a great turnover as far as I'm concerned since some of those books were unsolicited and yet I chose to read.  On top of that I also read widely across the previous years' backlog of ARCs that I still have every intention of reading someday.

For 2014 I'm down 10% to 69% of all books read that came in for review but am not worried as that is easily explained by the 75 or so books that came Oct/Nov as I was a Cybils judge.  Last year at this point I had 174 waiting in backlog, I'm just a tad over this and again it's because of the ton of gns I received at the end of the year, so I'm feeling like I'm keeping things on track here.

So in all its awesome glory, here are the remainders of my ARC list from 2011-2014 with new 2015 arrivals being added to the bottom.  I will again be using the LIFO method and will see if I can reach around 80% read rate for this years ARCs.
