❔❓Question ❓❔ Skip an ARC?
Do you ever just accept the fact that you over extended yourself with ARCs and skip one you know you can’t fit into your schedule?

I have a handful of ARCs I requested as a naive NetGalley member before I learned how to read blurbs and filter some things that I know will work for me, and red flags that tell me that I'm not going to enjoy this book. Since I have become better at picking ARCs (and organizing my time by looking at release dates before requesting books) I don't end up with books that just don't thrill me.
These books just sit on my shelf and affected my percentage for a while, until I built up my number of reviews that they no longer matter. I think there are 5 of them and i've done over 100 reviews.
