Too many holds at the library!!

ROFL....well if you read like you scrap I'm sure you'll be able to complete them.

I did that before. Luckily I read fast.

 

I've done that too! Good luck! I hope if you don't make it you can renew.

 

That happens to me a lot! I'll go from not having any books out to 5 at once!

 

I run out of time a lot with digital loans. I have to keep returning the unread ones and going back on the waiting list for them. I'm reading right now "The Darkest Minds" and am only 1/3 finished but it's due in 5 days. I'm pretty sure I'll have to go back on the waiting list to get it again to finish. When that happens, I try to remember to pin the cover and put the page # in the comments of where I left off so when I get it again I know where to start it again.

 

I'm sure you can do it! (I'm not a fast reader so 1 paper book would take me the whole 3 weeks but I think Nicholas Sparks would take me longer b/c I'd be trying to read thru tears if the movie adaptations are anything to go by!)

 

Lol! That seems to happen to me all the time too... I'll be WAY down the list for months and then boom! They all become available at once! Be sure to come back and let us know how you like the ones you do manage to read! I'm always looking for good book recommendations.

That has happened to me lately... I randomly picked up a book at the library a couple of weeks ago. Quickly found out that I was reading a sequel and requested the first book. When I went to return the book I started, I decided to pick up two quick YA novels to read.... which turned into four somehow once I got there. Then, almost immediately, my hold came in. Tried to power through books this weekend and I'm picking up the hold book tomorrow (on the last day to pick it up so I can stretch out my check out time).

I can't do digital holds... I usually decide to look for a digital copy at night when I need something to read and nothingis open. I'll browse through and put way too many on hold.... that all seem to come "in" at the same time!

 

OMG that always happens to me too!

 

I have done the same thing! LOL!

 

Ha ha....me too....all the time! I have two libraries to order from and often tons come thru within a few days at a time. I end up having to return and put them on hold, again and again, until I can get to them.

BTW....A Simple Favor and Always were two I really liked lately. I have 9 Perfect Strangers on hold. I've got about 6 books due in 5-6 days.....hmmmm....I think I won't get them all read

 

Ha ha ha! Only fellow digital book readers can sympathize with this "problem" Lol. It really is too bad that they can't find a way to let you have the book and keep it until you've read it. What difference could it make in the grand scheme of things if you check it out and don't read it right away. You can't share the book and you still want to read it... sometimes two weeks just isn't enough time!

 

ooooooooh the hold syndrome! I haven't held a book in my hand for a few years now, but am major addicted to audio books. I get these tomes that are 18-24 hours of listening. Knowing I have a few waiting, and available makes me want to organize my house, take long road trips and stay up late crocheting and listening to my books!

I just had one book automatically return, and I am 5 chapters from being done..NOW I am on the waiting list again!

Catch me if you can...a hilarious book of a con man and the FBIs hunt for him. (true story, guess it was a movie with Tom Hanks). I am impatiently waiting for the hold to come in!

 

I loved that movie! My hubby and I have watched it several times! I wonder if I should read that book too!

 

bhahha....put it on hold!
