Shelf Control

Shelf Control

One of the weekly features that I participate in is called Shelf Control.  It is hosted by Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies.  The goal is to take a look at the books that are already released that you own but have not read yet.  I have MANY that fall under that category so this feature is perfect for me.  Check out Lisa’s inaugural post for more details! I’ve been participating for awhile now but I keep forgetting which books I have posted and which I have read, so this page will serve to keep track of that.  I will post the name of the book, link to the original post, and IF I have read that book since the post I will bold the title.  If I end up letting go of a book I will make that title red.
