I started seriously writing reviews way back in 2015. I remember when I got my very first ARC book. Finding my first 10 reviews would have been a bit more difficult because I started reviewing on Goodreads, but I do have an arc shelf, so here are the first 10 ARCs I ever reviewed.

DANNNGGG, I didn’t realize it’s been that long since ‘Tonight the Streets Are Ours’ I’m sitting here in complete confusion cos I honestly thought it was a year ago max, oops! Haha, thanks for sharing!

I read Illuminae, but realized I never reviewed it. Oops.
That’s the only book on your list I’ve ever reviewed. I know for me, most of the first ARCs I got to review weren’t very publicized books.

I remember I was really excited for Illuminae, it was my first “big” ARC… too bad I didn’t like it π

I like how you chose to do ARCs. That’s different. I still need to read that Richie twins series.

Doing normal book reviews would have taken too long to do! I started writing reviews soooo long ago (they were like one sentence, but still!) π

I love reviewing ARCs but haven’t done that as long as I’ve been blogging. My first ten reviews were just books that I read once I had decided to create a blog.

Do you think you’ll still be writing reviews four years from now? It’s fun to look back at what people wrote when they first began.
