What's On Hold?

 Here are the books that I currently have on hold at our library:

  • The Norman Conquest by Marc Morris - in transit
  • Dawnlands by Philippa Gregory - in transit
  • The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald - #1 on 1 copy
  • Thrust by Lidia Yuknavitch - #2 on 2 copies
  • What Happened to You? by Bruce Duncan Perry and Oprah Winfrey - #4 on 13 copies
  • The Netanyahu's by Joshua Cohen - #16 on 2 copies
  • The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - #18 on 5 copies
  • Nights of Plague by Orhan Pamuk - #19 on 6 copies
  • The Measure by Nikki Erlick - #20 on 6 copies
  • What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo - #25 on 4 copies
  • After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid - #27 on 7 copies
  • Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus #85 on 24 copies
Now this list is just a moment in time, and subject to change. I often put books on hold and then take them off after giving the book a bit more thought. "Do I really want to spend my precious, limited time left in my life reading a book simply because it was recommended by someone I don't even know?" Also, once the book is in my hands and I give it a flip through I sometimes realize it's just not for me and off it comes from my list. Life is too short to waste it on books that I won't enjoy. Also, if I've waited for a really long time I sometimes lose interest in reading a book.
