This turned out to be one of those weeks where there was just more of everything. And Amazon is still celebrating World Book Day by giving away kindle copies of 9 international books. The giveaway continues for a few more days, if you want to get in on the fun!

Ouch! This one got kind of big, didn’t it? Oodles of things came in for my committee, for a contest I’m judging, and just because they looked good. And some thing fell into more than one category – but not nearly enough!

Some of this is tsundoku, that fear of running out of things to read. While I never actually run out of things to read, I do occasionally run out of things I’m in the mood for at a particular moment. Doesn’t everyone?

Yesterday was my birthday, and I seem to be having a bit of a sad about it. I’m not sure whether it’s the birthday, that the number of birthdays is so many at this point, that the people who knew me way back when are all either deceased or no longer part of my life, or all of the above.

I guess I’ll just have to keep reading until the feeling passes!

This very tall stack is the last – but far, far, far from the least – of the ALA Midwinter fallout. Hopefully I’ll be back to the usual dozen or so books next week. Putting this together is a monster!

Also, inlinkz has unfortunately dropped their “classic” version, so the link up is a bit different. If you have a comment about how the linkup works now, please let me know. Not that I can change what inlinkz does, but I can look for different service to accomplish the same thing.

Inlinkz Link Party

I am doing this super early this week. We’ll have just gotten back from another trip sometime in the wee hours of this morning, and I hope to goodness I’m still sleeping while you read this.

I’m still processing the post-ALA fallout onto my shelves, and this post is MUCH easier to prep from my desktop computer – where I have two monitors. I’ve done it from my laptop, trying to pretend that my iPad is the second screen, and it sorta/kinda works, but not for a haul this big. It’s beginning to feel like I’m going to get the post-ALA Midwinter fallout processed just in time to deal with the post-ALA Annual fallout, and that doesn’t happen until the end of JUNE!

This is still mostly ALA fallout. Or fall in. Or books falling on my virtual shelves. However one wants to frame that. I’ll be dealing with this fallout for at least a couple more weeks. It’s a good thing this stuff is 99% ebooks, or the UPS person would totally hate me!
