Butter: Roman | Asako Yuzuki

I got so excited when I saw Butter was on Hoopla. I‘m so disappointed. I wish I understood the workings of Hoopla and my library. I don‘t know that we have enough…ANY German speakers in my area for there to be the German language audio.

Will I be forced to buy a copy so I can pretend to participate in #CampLitsy2024?

Prairiegirl_reading 😲 I would be sooo mad!!!! 3w

Sace @Prairiegirl_reading and it‘s the only option. The library doesn‘t even have it. How odd that this random German language audio book is the one offering. 3w

TheKidUpstairs I did the same today! It's so weird... 3w

Sace @TheKidUpstairs Wait…so your hoopla only has the German version too? 🤔 3w

TheKidUpstairs @Sace yup, mine too! 3w

Sace So unfair! *pout* I‘m probably going to end up buying it. It sounds so interesting. 3w

TheKidUpstairs @Sace I'm thinking I'll end up buying the digital copy (hardcover is just too expensive!). One of the libraries o belong to has a physical copy, but I'm 7th on the list so I doubt it'll get to me in time. 3w

Sace @TheKidUpstairs I‘m torn between kindle and paperback. The kindle is less expensive but I do love reading physical books. 3w

CBee I just looked at my Hoopla and the one I found is in German too 😂😂 3w

BarbaraJean Same here--my Hoopla only has the German audio version. It must be something to do with what rights are available where at this point (and for how much)! My library does have audio and ebook versions available (through Libby/Overdrive)--but there's a 24-week wait on the audio and a 22-week wait on the ebook. 🙄 I'm 2nd in line for the print version, though! 🎉 (edited) 3w

Sace @CBee Really wishing I had taken more German classes in college! (edited) 3w

Sace @BarbaraJean it‘s funny how physical copies have shorter wait times. My daughter has had similar experiences with her library. 3w

Chelsea.Poole Hi all @CBee @Sace @TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraJean — librarian here 👋 the way hoopla works for most libraries: there‘s an Instant Borrow catalog which borrowers have access to: anything at all on the platform (unless your library suppresses certain titles/formats/$/etc) Certain publishers work with hoopla to allow their titles to be sold there. Libraries do *not* select certain titles for that platform like Libby/the physical library. More ⬇️ 3w

Chelsea.Poole So there ends up being random stuff there that wouldn‘t be of local interest to your library system, but since it‘s a part of the offerings from the publishers hoopla works with, it shows up in the catalog. Theres really great titles there but also some low quality content that comes along with it. Also, there is a new program hoopla offers called “flex titles” where libraries can purchase titles but users have to wait for them like Libby. 3w

Sace @Chelsea.Poole thanks for the explanation! 3w

CBee @Sace my hubby speaks German. I‘ll have him read it and translate 😂😂 3w

CBee @Chelsea.Poole thank you ♥️ 3w

Sace @CBee I am jealous! 🤣 3w

Chelsea.Poole @CBee record him—audio for us English speakers lol. 3w

CBee @Chelsea.Poole haha he would look at me like I was crazy if I asked him 😂😂 He isn‘t much of a reader these days. 3w

CBee @Sace he‘s pretty cool ♥️ 3w

julesG I should get hoopla. 😬 3w

Sace @julesG yes. And then record a translation for us 🤣 🤣 🤣. 3w

Suet624 Thanks for the explanation @Chelsea.Poole 3w

julesG It would be easier to just read the eBook out loud. 😉😉 3w

The Hearing Test: A Novel | Eliza Barry Callahan

Nomination for #CampLitsy2024, four of four.
@Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB

Background photo of my tulip garden 🌷

squirrelbrain As soon as I saw this cover I thought Rachel Cusk-esque and I see she‘s referenced in the blurb! 1mo

BarbaraBB Another great one I think 1mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - right?! More book serendipity? 1mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - I am pretty sure this was on the last day of TOB when it is current year recommendation time. I added most to my gr tbr… 1mo

squirrelbrain Sounds great! 1mo

Sipsworth | Simon Van Booy

Nomination for #CampLitsy2024, two of four. @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

Background photo is of pretty flowers at the garden center that I will probably go back and buy soon. (Buy the flowers, not the garden center.)

I have met this author - he‘s terrific! I have pre-ordered this; pubs on May 7. OH - and look! 👀 Ann Patchett endorses 🥰

squirrelbrain An endorsement from Ann Patchett?! Must be good…. And I love all your background photos! 1mo

BarbaraBB Stacking this one no matter what! 1mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - a post last year or so, I was raving my mad passion for all things AP and weirdly, I kept picking up books where she is on the blurb. Cracks me up when serendipity happens. She must be quite the reader/blurber. 1mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - I rarely pre-order but I am behind on reading Van Booy; I was thinking how I need to get caught up on his backlist pronto when I saw your Camp announcement. 📣 ♥️ 🎉 (edited) 1mo

Megabooks Really excited about all your choices and loved how you paired them with pictures! Thanks for nominating! 1mo

Nomination for #CampLitsy2024, one of four. @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain

Background photo is my newly planted Rhubarb. FYI Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day is June 9 🌟🍓🥧

Chelsea.Poole I almost added this to my nominations! And—I have rhubarb too! 😊 1mo

squirrelbrain Ooh, this was rumoured for the #womensprize… 🤔 1mo

BarbaraBB This sounds good!! 1mo

See All 8 Comments

BkClubCare @Chelsea.Poole - one of these times, my rhubarb plants will survive long enough to harvest. They keep dying, we keep trying it in new spots of the garden #sigh 🌱 1mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - was it? I haven‘t given much attention to that this year. I love the author‘s reviews on gr. 1mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - HIGHLY anticipated read for me, I know I will read it anyway, if it isn‘t selected for camp. 1mo

Megabooks I've almost checked out this audiobook twice! 1mo

BkClubCare @Megabooks - I hope to do the ebook so that I can easily capture bits and bites. I love a good audiobook, too but want to preserve my reactions. (edited) 1mo
