Since I&#8217;ll be on vacation next week, I thought I&#8217;d actually go to a bookstore and get the books I&#8217;m searching for so that I can read them while on vacation. I used to go to bookstores often, however, now that I&#8217;ve got a child, life has just gotten harder and more complicated. Just doing the simplest things takes time and planning. <\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, I&#8217;ve gotten used to purchasing most of my books off of Amazon. Since I want these titles by Saturday, and don&#8217;t want to pay for overnight postage, I thought I&#8217;d look for the titles at local bookstores. Here are the titles I&#8217;m planning to buy this week:<\/p>\n<p>Tracey Bateman &#8211; Claire Knows Best and Leave It To Claire<br \/>Shelley Bates &#8211; Pocket Full of Pearls<\/p>\n<p>Just to make sure I didn&#8217;t waste a trip, I&#8217;d planned on calling the bookstores to make sure they had some or all of those titles. I didn&#8217;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&#8217;t have time to call the bookstores. Hopefully, I&#8217;ll be able to make time to get the titles before Saturday so that I can read them while on vacation. I&#8217;ll check my library also.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time,<br \/>Cecelia Dowdy<br \/>www.ceceliadowdy.com<br \/>www.blackchristianfiction.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;m attending the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference in September, and I&#8217;m meeting with an editor or two, I thought it would be a good idea to find a few recent titles they&#8217;d recently published.
