Shelf Control: Happiness Like Water
Hosted by Book Shelf Fantasies
Welcome to the a new weekly feature from Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies called…
Shelf Control!
Shelf Control is a weekly blog meme where we blogger talk about the books we have. From the Lisa's blog.."Instead of looking ahead to upcoming new releases, Shelf Control
focuses on already released books that I want to read. Consider this a
variation of a Wishing & Waiting post… but looking at books already available, and in most cases, books that are either on my shelves or on my Kindle!"
God knows I have tons and tons of books to talk about.
My Shelf Control pick this week is:

October 2015 Blog Ahead Challenge: Goals
Hosted by the awesome ladies at Herding Cats and Burning Soup and Caffeinated Book Reviewer
Hi everyone! I am soo thrilled to announce this blogger event coming up next month called BLOG AHEAD! What's the big deal about it? Well for one, think about all the times you wanted to have a blog post go up but life, work, school, your friends and family came first. Now just image if you had scheduled out a month of post before the cray-cray started. That would be one more thing off your mind since your blog would be on cruise control.
Example: Today I am writing this post on 9/17/15 but you will not see it posted until... wait for it...9/23/15. Voila! I blogged ahead.
Get it! So here are my goals for this awesome, much needed and super wonderful event.
