August was ARC August. September is not, but it’s another month of trying to catch up with my review copies TBR list. Whoo hoo.
For those who do not know, Too Much TBR is a way to help me see which books I really need to read and tackle them. It helps a lot seeing a visual of the books on my TBR pile.
Let’s discuss what I read last month, and what I’m reading this month!
- You read how many ARCS you want. YOU get to decide.
- The book must be an ARC—physical or electronic. The ARC can be old or new ones. As long as it’s an arc, it’s okay.
- No blog necessary to participate, but you’ll need to include some form of social media as part of your sign up.
- Use the #ARCAugust on social media to check-in.
- Have fun!
I urge you to sign up over here, especially if you have ARCs you need to read!

In this special Too Much TBR post, which is really an ARC August post, my August pile is—excuse my language—a fuck ton. I don’t know how I’m gonna get everything read, but I’m gonna try my hardest. *crosses fingers*
Let’s discuss what books are on my ARC August TBR.
June made me realize how I only have attention span to read comics and fanfiction. (What’s new? Amirite.)

I did a better job reading my TBR in May. I didn’t quite get to all of it, but that’s okay.

The lives of six female superheroes and the girlfriends of superheroes. A ferocious riff on women in superhero comics.
From the New York Times bestselling author Catherynne Valente comes a series of linked stories from the points of view of the wives and girlfriends of superheroes, female heroes, and anyone who’s ever been “refrigerated”: comic book women who are killed, raped, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had their powers taken so that a male superhero’s storyline will progress.
In an entirely new and original superhero universe, Valente subversively explores these ideas and themes in the superhero genre, treating them with the same love, gravity, and humor as her fairy tales. After all, superheroes are our new fairy tales and these six women have their own stories to share.

I am deeply honored to be part of the Refrigerator Monologues blog tour. You combine Catherynne M. Valente’s writing with ladies in comics, I’ll be front and center with bells on!
I can write essays about all the super heroines I absolutely adore. I actually had a hard time pinpointing which ones are my all-time favorites. I just couldn’t narrow it down! They are equally awesome and my favorites. They’re all inspiring ladies.
There are four super heroines I hardcore adore to the point where I’ll be holding signs professing my love to them. They are forever in my heart.
