Golden Gratitude - A is for ARCs

Welcome to ABCs of Golden Gratitude 2024! This is the second year I'm doing this on my blog. 

Here's how it works:

Each day for the next 26 days, I will take a letter of the alphabet and write about one thing I'm grateful for that begins with that letter. This is something I used to do every November in an online forum that ended in January of 2020. I continued the tradition on a blog that became a springboard for Caboodle of Cozies, so I thought it would be fun to continue the tradition here.

I invite you to play along. In the comments below, tell me what you're grateful for that begins with the letter of the day.  If you are a day late (or more) you can still go back to each day you missed and comment. My posts aren't going anywhere. :-) There is a label called "Golden Gratitude" on the right sidebar so they will be easy to find. With that label, you can also go back and read last year's Golden Gratitude posts.

I will still continue my usual posts as often as possible, so some days this month I will publish more than one post.

Let's begin.

A is for ARCs (Advance Reader Copies). These are free copies of books (usually e-books, but sometimes physical copies) that are given to some readers before the books are published, with the expectation that readers will review them. It wasn't long ago when I said that I would love to read and review at least one ARC. Little did I know it would get to the point where ARCs make up a large portion of what I read these days. ARCs are a great way to support authors while doing something I love - reading and writing about books!

Your turn! What are you grateful for that begins with A? Tell me in the comments below!
