Since I’m attending the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference in September, and I’m meeting with an editor or two, I thought it would be a good idea to find a few recent titles they’d recently published. Since I’ll be on vacation next week, I thought I’d actually go to a bookstore and get the books I’m searching for so that I can read them while on vacation. I used to go to bookstores often, however, now that I’ve got a child, life has just gotten harder and more complicated. Just doing the simplest things takes time and planning.

Over the last few years, I’ve gotten used to purchasing most of my books off of Amazon. Since I want these titles by Saturday, and don’t want to pay for overnight postage, I thought I’d look for the titles at local bookstores. Here are the titles I’m planning to buy this week:

Tracey Bateman – Claire Knows Best and Leave It To Claire
Shelley Bates – Pocket Full of Pearls

Just to make sure I didn’t waste a trip, I’d planned on calling the bookstores to make sure they had some or all of those titles. I didn’t feel like hauling my baby to the bookstore after work only to discover they did not have the titles. Unfortunately, it was a long day at work and I didn’t have time to call the bookstores. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make time to get the titles before Saturday so that I can read them while on vacation. I’ll check my library also.

Until next time,
