Waaaait, not yet!! I need this for June, not May!! #CampLitsy24 #LibraryProblems

monkeygirlsmama I've been stuck on hold for this one myself. Better get it while the gettin's good. LoL 2w

BarbaraJean @monkeygirlsmama Hahaha—I know, right?! The same kind of thing happened with Clear—I already had it checked out when it was picked for Camp Litsy. I went ahead and read it because the odds of it coming around again in time are too slim! 2w

Kitta I might not get my library hold for this in time!! I think last I checked it said 20 weeks 😬 I might have to buy a copy. 2w

BarbaraJean @Kitta The hold lists were VASTLY different between print copies and digital in my library system. The ebook and audio versions both had a 20-ish week wait, but when I put a hold on the print copy I was 3rd in line! Wish I could lend this library print copy your way 🙃 (edited) 2w

Ruthiella Just take good notes! 😂 Holds are insane - you never know when a forecasted 10 week wait turns into to pick up tomorrow! 2w

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella I know, right?! So often, I put a book on hold expressly because the wait is so long and I'll have time to clear some other holds before it arrives. Then it's suddenly ready before I am!! 2w

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One | Patrick Rothfuss

When you go to the library and all the books you prepicked are humongous.

Thanks for the add @Manal22

#ilikebigbooks #libraryproblems #bigbooks

vivastory All 3 of these are at the top of my TBR. You have some great reading ahead! 5y

Leniverse Illuminae is a fairly quick read though. It looks big due to the creative formatting. Some pages only have a few words of text. 5y

emz711 @Leniverse excited to try something similar to S.

Ship of Theseus

OnlyYoo I finished Name of the Wind in one day because I was just so engrossed in it! The hardest part is waiting for the last book of the trilogy. I‘ve been waiting 6 years now... 5y

emz711 @OnlyYoo oh no! I didn't know 5y

emz711 @Leniverse good to know, it'll be my next one! 5y

emz711 @OnlyYoo loving it 5y

OnlyYoo It‘s an amazing series 👍 5y

Alexander Hamilton | Ron Chernow

I only have 8 days left with this beauty, so I‘m going to have to try and get back on the waiting list (and wait another 6 months to continue reading it) or buy a copy as soon as humanly possible. This book is amazingly good, but wow it‘s packed with info. I feel like I could read it more like a historian if I had a physical copy (which is even harder to get my hands on).

Mark Twain's Burlesque Autobiography ; And, First Romance | Mark Twain

Detroit‘s Mark Twain library, which was closed in 1996 for renovations and never reopened. Just look at all of the forgotten volumes. It‘s tragic. I want to go in and find them all new, loving homes. The poor dears.

kmshaffer Wow! 5y

GingerAntics @kmshaffer right? You‘d think even if you weren‘t going to reopen the library, you‘d give the books to other libraries that were open, but apparently not. Just imagine what has been lost, because the books were just left to slowly decay. That pile of books makes me sad, and not just because the pages are getting ruined. 5y

AlaSkaat Treasures lost at sea. They should have packed those books, if they didn't need them, and sent them to poor countries where Libraries and books are needed. Such a waste!! 5y

julesG I can't believe it. 😢 5y

JazzFeathers I can't believe it. What's the sense of it? If you don't mean to reopen the library, donate the books to who will enjoy them. It's heartbreaking. It's madness. 5y

Bklover Noooooo!!!😢 5y

kmshaffer No kidding! I‘m sure many libraries would love to have these lost treasures! Makes me sad too 😢 5y

Weaponxgirl That‘s awful! Why waste so much in general, let alone books! 5y

Tamra How horrible. 5y

Crazeedi What a tragic photo! Makes my heart hurt 5y

GingerAntics @OleAnder @julesG @JazzFeathers @Bklover @kmshaffer @Weaponxgirl @Tamra @Crazeedi if nothing else, let book lovers come take them. They‘ll give them good homes or take them to libraries in their communities. Mark Twain must be rolling over in his grave. It‘s so sad. I guess this is just more proof that America does not care about knowing things, just having things. Well, most of America. (edited) 5y

AlaSkaat Books are sooo undervalued 😕 5y

ravenlee We need some book ninjas to liberate these poor orphans. 5y

GingerAntics @ravenlee right? 5y

Go to My Grave | Catriona McPherson

Things I have to request again because I couldn't get to them before the due date. #libraryproblems 😏

Buechersuechtling I know exactly what you mean. 😂 If I foresee that I won‘t manage to read all the books I took home, I secretly sneak into my library‘s user account to put them on hold for me, so that I immediately can take them with me again. 😇 5y

readinginthedark This is me with 95% of the library books I bring home! 😅 5y

5280reader Love Philippa Gregory! Enjoy! 5y

The Fifth Season | N. K. Jemisin

Hey guys, no #friyayintro this week. I just got back from Disneyland and I‘m still in post-vacay catch-up mode, I don‘t think I have time to check out all the posts like I usually try to!

But, I just finally finished this awesome book (did not really have reading time in CA as I‘d hoped to), and now I can take my kindle off airplane mode, and download something new! 🙂 #libraryproblems #jesshowreads2018

tournevis 😘😘😘 5y

Bklover Hope you had a great time! I just stopped by to check and make sure you were ok when I didn‘t see the Friyay thing! 5y
