October 2023 Library Update

We are finally nearing the end of October. For some reason these last couple of weeks have dragged for me. But here we are and it's time for a library update.

CHECKED OUT

Cook It In Your Dutch Oven: 150 Foolproof Recipes Tailor-Made for Your Kitchen's Most Versatile Pot by America's Test Kitchen - I made a recipe from this last night. I didn't think it was great, but my son said it was good. Probably because there were no tomatoes. There are no holds on it so I figure I'm going to renew and see what else I can make.

Girls Make Movies: A Follow-Your-Own-Path Guide for Aspiring Young Filmmakers by Mallory O'Meara - I have this one for a possible program series I am looking at for teens.

The Headmaster's List by Melissa De La Cruz - I ran across this while researching for a readers guide. It is basically a teen version of rich people behaving badly. Our main character was in a car crash but she can't remember why she was in the car or anything else from that night. Also, everyone in the car is on the honor roll, the titular headmaster's list.

ON HOLD

On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden - I'm about to give up on this one. One copy was due a year ago and one copy was due in June. I could maybe request it from Mobius, but I don't know if I care that much. We don't have an ebook copy or I'd just get that.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - I actually had this in my hot little hands and didn't read it. I feel like it needs to be read in the right weather, and the time I had it was definitely not the right weather. Hopefully I will get it back before next spring. Or, God forbid I get it in the winter but it's 75 degrees outside. I'm number 24. There are 4 copies. That's 3 months if everyone turns it in on time. Ha! We're looking at March here. Oh well.

Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich - I'm really hoping this is the last time you have to see this on the library hold list. It comes out next week. I am number 88 on the hold list. There are 57 copies. I'm crossing my fingers that a Quick Pick copy shows up here at RR and I can grab that one. A Quick Pick is a book that we know is going to be super popular, so we buy copies that don't enter the hold list rotation. They just go out to the branches and if you happen to find one before your hold comes available, you get it early. Optimally, I would get it before my birthday so I could sit around reading it that day.

Ok. That's everything on my library list. Carry on.
