Hi friends. Today for
Waiting on Wednesday I am going to discuss a crazy habit I have- requesting interlibrary loans on books in my county. It's like an addiction, I just browse through my TBR and put in requests for all of the books I want to read to be delivered to my nearest library for pickup. In this post I'm going to focus on the physical books I've requested because the available e-books from my library is a whole different monster. I have five pending requests (!!!) at my library and I just recieved an email today letting me know these two books are available for pick up. I will have them by the weekend!
The Frangipani Hotel by Violet Kupersmith - I recently saw a review of this on a blog last week (if it was your blog, please let me know! I can't remember who it was and I want to link you!). This book is a collection of ghost stories and Vietnamese folk tales that sound interesting because I've never read anything about Vietnamese culture and it will count as one of my five committed books for Once Upon a Time.
The Most of Nora Ephron - I love the movie You've Got Mail, which is the first introduction to Nora Ephron that I had at 10 years old. Unfortunately, Nora passed away last year and I have never read any of her books so I am starting with this compilation before moving onto more of her movies and story collections.
Do you use your local library's request and borrow system? What do you have on hold? Let me know in the comments! I am always looking for additions to my TBR.
Bah! I've GOT to get to the library!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a library hold slut. Seriously, I use the system all the time! Right now, though, I have nothing on hold because I have a ton of ARCs to read. But in the past I've waited 6 months for Eleanor & Park, The Fault in Our Stars, and And the Mountains Echoed. Waiting is sooooo worth it!
