I think this is the first time I had a huge pile of books to review.  I am telling you now, I did not finish the pile but I got a few (very few) things done.  There are just not enough hours in the day honestly.  So I will be joining this event again next month for sure.  Here are my wrap up stats.

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.

What I Am Listening To...

OMG!  I was soo shocked at the number of books with water on the covers.  There are millions out there.  Women swimming in it.  Men's chest covered in it.  So I thought I would focus on a color.  The color of water for me is blue.  And of course I made it extremely diverse adding POC authors and POC characters.  Click on the book titles below to go to their Amazon page.

Stuck in A Good Book Giveaway Hop 2015

Hosted by Stuck in Books and I Am A Reader

I haven't done a giveaway in a long, long time so I thought this would be the perfect one to get back into giving away books, bags and gift cards.  

So far I have read a few really great books and audiobooks that were perfect 5 star reads.  

One lucky US winner will get a paperback ARC copy of Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan. This book is amazing and helped me get up and out of my reading slump.  I was hooked and you will be too.  I have an ARC of this book that was never opened so it's a new old copy.  LOL!
