It may seem like I get a lot of wicked awesome ARCs, and I do. But the secret is I don’t get to keep any of them.

Yes. It’s very sad, but also kinda nice.

So where do I get them?

TOURS!

I love tours!

Basically, what a tour is, is you sign up for a book you want, and they mail it to you! Then after a week you mail it to someone else! I’ve broken it down into a pros and cons list:

PROS:

• Get TONS of ARCs
• It’s FREE (just pay shipping)
• If you don’t like it, you don’t keep it!

CONS:

• Only one week to read
• Must be a book blogger
• If you like it, you don’t keep it.

So here I have compiled a list of all the tours I participate in. If you know of more, PLEASE let me know in the comments and I’ll add them to my list!

TOURS:

Around the World Tours

• --This was the first tour I was ever a part of. It’s nice and has lots of books, but there are a TON of people who participate. Participants are chosen at random

• --This is probably my favorite. The tours are just a part of her blog(Dark Faerie Tales), and she posts them just like a regular post. I’ve gotten A LOT of books from here, and I only signed up a couple weeks ago. Participants are chosen at a first-come first-serve basis. 

Star Book Tours

• --Doesn’t post a lot, but they’re good books, and there aren’t a ton of participants. I’m not sure how the participants are chosen. 

The Teen {Book} Scene

• --This one is weird. It isn’t so much an ARC tour as it is a marketing campaign. There are specific requirements. Check it out for more details. 

Traveling ARC Tours

• --This one has a wide variety of ARCs, from popular to ones you’ve never heard of. I’m signed up for a couple here. Participants are chosen in a combination of random and first-come. 

We love YA!

• --I actually haven’t joined any of these tours just because none of them interest me a ton. But I keep an eye on them just the same. 

1 ARC Tours

• --This is the tour site I run. It’s hard work! We have a combo of small name ARCs and big name ARCs. Tours are organized based on location of the participants so they move faster. Very few people participate in these tours.
