GoodbyeVitamin

Marlena | Julie Buntin

🚨🚨 BOOK SWAP 🚨🚨
Anyone interested in trading another #botm pick for this copy of Marlena? Ideally looking for Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Goodbye Vitamin, but open to other possibilities. #bookswap #bookmail #evelynhugo #goodbyevitamin

rather_be_reading what a great idea! 6y

Goodbye, Vitamin: A Novel | Rachel Khong

pick

This book just slayed me. The writing is beautiful, and the way that Khong develops each of these flawed, compelling “born humans” is quietly devastating. I can not recommend #goodbyevitamin more.

BkClubCare Was happy and rather surprised it advanced. 7y

UnabridgedPod @BkClubCare Agreed. I read and thoroughly admired Idaho, but I was glad that Goodbye, Vitamin advanced. 7y

#EmojiNov I‘m very grateful for my library‘s #OverDrive system because I‘m able to access books even though I‘m 6,000 miles away. However, I do get #😡 when I desperately want to read a book and it‘s NOT even in their system!!! I‘m still waiting for them to add these titles..... #booknerdproblems

kamoorephoto No #GoodbyeVitamin? 7y

Cinfhen No 😖😖 @kamoorephoto I made the request in August!!!! 😕😡😫 7y

Caterina I feel you! I recommended Difficult Women in January and Here Comes the Sun over one year ago, and neither has been added. There are so many popular books that they just won't add. 😩 It took one year for them to add The Wangs vs. the World! Also yet to be added: Bad Feminist, The Hate U Give, and The Remains of the Day. 😩 7y

Cinfhen I think certain branches must have a bigger budgets because I‘ve seen others post where all their requests have been filled @Caterina but it‘s super frustrating for us readers! 7y

IheartYA My library annoys me with that too. It also allows us access to Hoopla and Freading. Maybe look into if your library supports those too. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks for the suggestion @IheartYA 💗 7y

LA_Mead I like interlibrary loan... 7y

IheartYA My city is small. ? I have put books on what we call "hold" and other libraries mail them to mine but there have been a few I can't find in the system at all. 7y

Tamra Me too. I live in a rural area & we have a small regional system - makes audio a challenge. Not much selection & high demand. With the technology,it should be a statewide system - we‘re a high tax rate state, so seems like it should be feasible & fair. 7y

Tamra I have a good condition used copy of Goodbye Vitamin that I‘m unlikely to get to in light years, I am happy to mail it to you. 😊 graham.eric@charter.net 7y

Karkar Not sure if @IheartYA and @Tamra are in the US, but when I lived in a small rural area. I found to get the best selection was to get a state library card- most state libraries have a much better selection! 7y

Mdargusch That is so interesting because sometimes the books I️ find are so obscure and then more mainstream books aren‘t available. #SMH 7y

Tamra @Karkar yes, I am in MN. I‘ll have to find out if there is a state card! 7y

Reviewsbylola Wow, surprised they don‘t have a lot of those! 7y

Cinfhen That's soooo sweet @Tamra I'd love it!!! Thank you sooo much 😍😘will email you!!! 7y

Cinfhen I will look into a state card too @Karkar thanks for the suggestion 😃 7y

Cinfhen When it comes to physical books @LA_Mead @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch my library system is AWESOME but it's this OverDrive system which is pretty pathetic 7y

MarriedtoMrT It‘s a little known fact but ebooks tend to cost libraries WAY more than physical books, many times list price. This often means it can be too far out of budget for libraries to buy a single copy. https://www.wired.com/2013/10/how-ebook-pricing-hurts-us-in-more-ways-than-you-t... 7y

MarriedtoMrT From the article: “Take the example of J.K. Rowling‘s pseudonymous book, Cuckoo‘s Calling. For the physical book, libraries would pay $14.40 from book distributor Baker & Taylor -- close to the consumer price of $15.49 from Barnes & Noble and of $15.19 from Amazon. But even though the ebook will cost consumers $6.50 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, libraries would pay $78 (through library ebook distributors Overdrive and 3M) for the same thing.” 7y

MarriedtoMrT I‘m not sure if that‘s why your requests haven‘t been answered but I always like to bring it up when I can because it is completely ridiculous and change won‘t happen until more people are aware and more people complain to elected officials so that gouging laws can be passed...though now there are certainly many, many other thing we need to talk to elected officials about. 7y

emilyhaldi Very surprised to see that some of those aren't available yet!! 7y

Mdargusch Thanks for shedding some light on the situation @MarriedtoMrT - that makes a lot of sense. 7y

Cinfhen Oh wow!!! That's ridiculous @MarriedtoMrT thanks for informing us 7y

LA_Mead @Cinfhen ah, yeah...Overdrive at mine is not so good either. Everything new is always reserved into infinity. 7y

Leftcoastzen I loved “New People .” 7y

My pick for day 15 #Candy of #SpookyOctober is #GoodbyeVitamin by RachelK. Although the focus of the book is about vitamins and medicine, I think it looks like #candy.

Goodbye, Vitamin: A Novel | Rachel Khong

I started one of my #botm selections: #goodbyevitamin - it's written in diary form from the perspective of a daughter taking care of her dad in the throes of dementia. The role reversal inspired this photo: she's gone from the beloved child to mama bear, the one that will be there always.

What's something your mom used to say or that you as a mom say?

trazo Great book selection! Goodbye Vitamin is on my tbr list! 7y

janeycanuck My gran always says "if you can't be good, be careful" and I've adopted that for myself now ? 7y

mellisarock @janeycanuck Awe! I love that! Your gran sounds like a wise lady! 7y
