Reading and Proofreading, too much to Balance

Ugh! I am feeling extremely tired and reclusive today, but when I got a chance to get away, I felt better. I have finished proofreading 63 of my 102 books. I am now on 64. I had to take a few breaks in between revising my most current books to read my library copy of Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich, who is the only author that I read consistently. I have a very sporadic book "diet," and much like my food diet, there is no consistency. Now I am finding out that some of our patrons have self-published books and somehow managed to get them into our library collection. I have tried to do that for years! (Well, I didn't actually ask anyone because I didn't want to piss people off.) But, being in charge of collection development, I think I am entitled to have at least one book in our collection. Of course, I will have to revise one that I think is suitable, and I can't overlook the fact that these other books look really good. At least I found a local publisher in Charlestown, so I might check out their webpage and look at their publishing requirements. Still waiting for news on the paper I wrote for Indiana Libraries. Might be back later...
