The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, it was relaunched on February 15, 2013 by Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addict. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
Do you use other sources for ARCs besides NetGalley?
(submitted by Bonnie @ Bonnie Reads and Writes)
In terms of other platforms like NetGalley, no, I don’t. NetGalley is enough for me, and hard enough on its own to keep up with. Other than that, sometimes I do get arcs directly from publishers or authors, either from this blog or over at Divination Hollow. Occasionally, if it’s a publisher I’ve worked with before and have a (loose) relationship with, I will approach and request arcs. Other times I get arcs for Blog Tours. I have considered using Edelweiss, but right now I have so many outstanding NetGalley books, I don’t want to join another website where I can request them.
What about you? How do you get your arcs?
