I am going away for 12 days, to take my daughter to Sesame Place among other things. After having a bit of a panicky feeling while looking at my ARC stacks last night, I have decided: no kids’ books on this trip except the ones I read to my child. Somehow I have made myself a mountain of self-created pressure that I must get out from under. So if you are waiting for me to review a book you’ve sent me – it’s going to be a little while longer. I have to try to remember that the only piece of this for which I am paid is the one where I stand on my feet in a store for 15 hours a week and sell books to people.

Perhaps, while I am gone, one of my lovely friends will post something here (and I will have my computer, ladies, so I can put up posts or images as needed), and perhaps not. Some people seem to have been energized by BEA and I, frankly, was worn down to a tiny tiny stump.

Have a great almost two weeks!
