There's a reason there's only one there! I WAS WARNED QUITE WELL, and with great gusto. ;) Watch, I'll love them and they'll replace Sunshine in my heart.

FISTBUMP OF SOLIDARITY on the terror. We could start a support group.

I dislike that ARCs have become an uncomfortable and awkward aspect of book blogging for me so much so that I would rather chew glass than accept them or ask for them, because they can serve a nice purpose. I don't believe they're inherently evil, but I resent the hell out of the people who have made it possible for me to get that reaction (ahhh the more I think back on it the more I feel so gross and humiliated). Ugh, Amy, I just have so many feelings. I have incepted myself into believing that if I start even accepting digital ARC copies I am going to become That Person. Although I would hope Ana and Jodie would eventually step in and go, "hey, Renay, you're being a fuckmuppet with the ARCs, cut that out." Because they're good friends and won't let me make a fool of myself....I hope....!

I do know one thing: it made me absolutely sure that any future reading I do of Priest's books will be done on my dime. I am declaring myself ARC free for this author, forever and ever, amen.
