Virtual Ann - started Overbooked in 1994, about two years after that my husband stopped asking me "is it done yet?'. It still isn't done, and I'm still obsessively overbooked. Crime Fiction sections of Overbooked include starred review lists, some themed booklists and lists of forthcoming/notable titles. So many books, so little time and so much technology to absorb. . .

Professional Ann - Collection Mangement Administrator, Chesterfield County Public Library. I select fiction and music - life is good (but budgets could be better).
I Am A:
Reader, Librarian, Organization

Books And Authors I Like:
I'm both omnivorous and ravenous in my reading habits.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Jekyll, The Adventures of Brisco County, Get Smart, Torchwood, Firefly, Buffy...

Party Girl, The Man Who Would Be King, Being There, Princess Bride...

    Hi Ann: Heading for Richmond this coming weekend for a wedding. My reading has suffered with my writing schedule, but my nightstand is also "overbooked." Just posted a recent review of my current novel "Blue Heron Marsh" on my crimespace blog--hope you will check it out.

    Smiles,

    Boy, am I honored to included as a friend here, Ann. thank you.

    I love that you describe yourself as a "ravenous" reader; that's just beautiful. The "omnivorous" part is welcome, too. Often I see people limit themselves and miss some really good reads . . .

    Hi Ann. Thanks for finding me on here. Pretty picture! And your guy's much better looking than John Cleese (Sorry Benn)

    Hi Ann! Nice to see a familiar face here on CrimeSpace. Thanks for the invite, and here's to ever increasing book budgets!

    Gomez Adams...that cracks me up. Those bait shop hats and tees are made by my sister - we Burkes keep it all in the family.

    Ha! Is that you? I'm very grateful for Overbooked! It's a wonderful way to get a bit of recognition now and then. A million thanks!

    Ann,
    I'm looking forward to the Socorro book, too. The page proofs are on my dining room table right now. It'll be so good to have it in the world. I love the University of New Mexico Press, but it sure does take a long time on some projects . . .

    Or maybe I'm just impatient.

    Next time you come to NM, look me up.

    Hi Ann:I would have left a comment earlier but I was...yes, overbooked. Was in Richmond this past weekend for a wedding and the mother of the bride asked me why I hadn't yet had a book signing there. I said it was because apparently, everyone was overbooked there.

    Smiles,
    Douglas Quinn

    Hi, Ann --

    Thanks for the invitation. Like you, I'm overbooked, but that's better than no one wanting anything to do with you. Most of the time, anyway.

    Anyway, glad to meet you.

    The Walkabouts are great. Walter shared his some of CDs with me, as you know. Thanks for offering others, but I can listen to them (and have been) on a subscription service called Rhapsody. I've even heard a few minutes of the new Britney Spears CD. (That was plenty.)
