Show notes: ARCs or advanced reader copies are a way to get free books from publishers (woohoo!) but there’s obviously more to it than that. If you’ve ever wondered what the deal with ARCs is, you need to tune in as we discuss how to get started, the ins and outs of the process (as well as the pros and cons), and some ARCs we’ve read and enjoyed. Plus, you’ll have to settle a debate for us: how exactly do you pronounce ARC?! Special thanks to @bottomlessbooks.ct for the inspiration for this episode.
