System Overload
 I've spent the entire weekend researching. I have read three thesis papers about the small town I am researching and am also making my way through four huge books that I purchased from the Historical Society. Each book is the size of an encyclopedia and about 400 pages long. I just finished the one on "Public Buildings, Historical Events & Early Businesses."
One down, three to go. Meanwhile, I have this book I'm supposed to be writing!!
Don't forget to enter our contest. I will be posting the winner of last month's contest soon. Our first two winners never responded, but I have heard from Alternate #3 and so I will have her photo for you and the answer to last month's question sometime this week.

I'll have to post a picture of my bookshelves. I have floor-to-ceiling ones in my office and a wall-to-wall one upsairs. It still isn't enough. I have books in the top of every closet in our house. And, then, of course the books scattered across my desk, on the floor, on the bedside table, etc.

You sound like Alice Roosevelt Longworth, among others! Every flat surface covered with stacks of books. Maybe some day you'll need a shelving unit just for Deeanne Gist books....

Oh, I would LOVE to have that many books *sigh* Though that many books would probably overflow in my 900 sq ft house!
