ARC August is hosted by Read. Sleep. Repeat. and runs all August! Here is my weekly update. I read two ARCs and added a lot more to my list, but considering it was my last week of exams, I am pretty proud that I even finished one!
ARCs I Read This Week:
Clockwork Menagerie (Shadows of Asphodel #2.5) by Karen Kincy. This one won't be up and reviewed until September 3rd as part of the blog tour for it!
Mini Review: SO GOOD. If you have read the first two and loved Konstantin, then this is one for you.

Falling For Shakespeare by Erin Butler. This one won't be up and reviewed until September 8th as part of the blog tour for it!
Mini Review: I really enjoyed this but did have some issues with it.

All the ARCs I read during August:Chimera (Weaver Series #1) by Vaun Murphey. See my full review on QotB!
Mini Review: This was good but slow. I also thought the characters were a little underdeveloped in my opinion. Will still finish out the rest of the series though!
--
Into a Million Pieces by Angela V Cook. See my full review!Mini Review: I loved the succubus idea and thought that was well executed, but I wasn't a fan of the plot twist at the end because it wasn't hinted at.
--
A Sky Unbroken (Earth & Sky #3) by Megan Crewe. See my full review on QotB!Mini Review: I was disappointed by this one but still enjoyed the overall story and ending.
--
Inherit The Stars by Tessa Elwood. See my mini review! My full review will post on QotB sometime in October/November.Mini (mini) Review: I loved this one. I thought it was such an interesting concept and loved the writing style! A definite recommend.
--
The Soul Thief by Majanka Verstraete. See my review!Mini Review: I liked the majority of this one but there were some parts of this one that I wasn't keen on.

Righteous by Kim Lehman. Why I DNFed? I thought the story was extremely predictable. I am okay with that if it is well written but this one just was not.
--
The Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore. My full review was posted on Queen of the Bookshelves. Mini Review: I loved this one. It was lyrical and beautiful and I highly recommend everyone picks it up when it comes out September 15th!

My Secret to Tell by Natalie D. Richards. My full review was posted on Queen of the Bookshelves.Mini Review: I liked this one, everything was "laid out" but the twist at the end was well delivered. I thought it was a tad bit predictable, which is why I gave it 4/5 stars.

BUT. I met my goal of 10! I just went about it a very different way, which is fine. I still need to read all the other books so look for reviews/updates on those as time passes.
Wow you did a great job with the ARC August challenge!! I'm glad you enjoyed The Weight of Feathers, I'm definitely looking forward to that one. :)
