Bethany the Librarian: I'm too busy
http://bethanythelibrarian.blogspot.com/2009/05/im-too-busy.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. I have so many post ideas in my head but so much is going on right now that they never make it to the computer! Summer is a different world in the Hamptons and it has already begun. I am again coordinating our Adult Summer Reading Program and I have some big events in my personal life as well. So, until I get to sit down and write about all the books and authors that I love (and hate), I had a guest sit down and give us a list of 8 books. Hope you had a wonderful week/weekend!
