My Holds List

I shared my checkout list with you the other day. Confession: the number of books I have on hold dwarfs the number I have checked out.

Here they are:

Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld - I have been anxiously awaiting this one for months! It's a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Squee!!
