How do we all find the time to do a regular day job and then read and then write on top of that! Argh! :)<br /><br />I've been very lazy while on vacation in Boston this week -- my in-laws own a yacht that they schedule for private and corporate charters and oh my...I got to be lazy! So lazy that I read nothing this week and decided to just post about the boat that I was on.

I have been a lot more selective with what I've accepted for review in the past few months and I just got the last book I was obligated to review done this past week. I have so many of my own books that I want to read and review plus a ton I want to borrow from the library. It will be nice being able to choose what I'm in the mood for rather than what is next in the review pile.LibraryGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228787848421626358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-8329198204532786482010-08-29T13:56:40.441-04:002010-08-29T13:56:40.441-04:00I've been selective lately, choosing to stick,...I've been selective lately, choosing to stick, mainly, to library books.
