Betsy is co-owner of The King's English, author of the book of the same name and so much more. At the time this post was written Betsy is President of the American Booksellers Association. She co-founded Local First and serves on their board too. She is a champion of local businesses and of women in business and co producer of the documentary, Invisible Disabilities (which featured her son Nicks.) You can hear her on Books and Beats (KUER) every Saturday. Her op-eds in the Salt Lake Tribune are always insightful and she backs up statement with fact. She has also met President Obama, twice!
Here is Betsy's week in her own words.
I read Barkskins by Annie Proulx (700 pages! Due out in June), The Latter Days: a Memoir, by Judith Freeman (also a June book) reread LaRose by Louise Erdrich and Everybody’s Fool by Richard Russo (both due out in early May) so I could write my May radio reviews, and a mystery called Missing Presumed by Susie Steiner. After all of that I’m just reading a mindless but pleasant mystery, the new Robert Parker (who didn’t write it, he’s no longer with us) Slow Burn. I haven’t been sleeping much…
