The votes are in and we have our next batch of books for 2018! Woo-hoo! Like I've been doing the last couple of times, I am posting the next few months (May-August) all at once, so we can all get these books on hold at our libraries in time. The book we will be reading for July 2018 is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. Please label spoilers or even type them in white like I just did right here (highlight that blank space) so that a person has to highlight it to read it.
That is just not cool. Wow! I don't even think we have that many people in my town that USE our online library. I sure hope they have a bunch of copies! I'm up to #42 with 6 copies! That's still about 14 weeks of waiting, but I think I'll get it by July at least! Good luck with your wait!
My reading isn't consistent lately, but I really want to read this one. I put a hold on the book at my local library, 39 copies and I'm 154 of 154 in line...that was crazy to me, so I did a quick Google search and found a seller on ebay selling unused copies for $1.39 with FREE shipping! @djp332 and @Karen in case you'd like to just order the book here is the link. **edit** it's an ebook LOL!! Guess I should have read the description a bit better...doh!
Funny thing is that this week I got 3 notices of books that I've reserved! The first one that I already started is 640 pages. I'll never read that in 3 weeks. A friend told me that if I turn off the wi-fi the library can't end my loan.
I just went to my library website and put holds on Britt-Marie, Bernadette, and Before We Were Yours. I'm #3 for the first two, but for Before... the paper and ebooks had about 60 people ahead of me and the audiobook, which I chose, has 15 people ahead of me! Wow! It must be great!
I think I'll make it.. maybe. I placed a hold for this book on March 1st and I'm currently #71 in line of 50 copies.
Finished it this week and really liked it so much more than I was expecting. It's in my top 10 faves now for this year. That's what I love about our reading group, there are so many books recommended that I probably never would have read had it not been suggested here. So, for me, this book was another winner!
I read this in one day. I couldn't stop reading! Loved it. I understand now why the wait lists are so long.
It's killing me how long it's taking for my turn at the library! I just checked and I'm still number 22.
This comment made me realize I should return my book asap haha I always forget after I finish a book!
I downloaded the sample and want this book so badly. It's not in the Prime Lending Library and it's $12.99 for the ebook. Ugh. Anybody have any other "lending ideas"?
I got mine from my local library. It has paper book, ebook, and audiobook, and I chose the audiobook because it had the shortest list of people requesting it.
I thought about trying there, but don't have a library card. I haven't needed one for years. I want to go to the main library and take my grandson, anyway, so this would probably be a good time to get one.
