Library Update December 2024
I know it's early, but next week is probably going to be chaotic, so I'm getting some end of month posts done early.
CHECKED OUT
Never Saw Me Coming by Tanya Smith - This showed up for me yesterday! I started it at lunch today. It's pretty fascinating. When she was a kid, she figured out how to get the phone numbers of celebrities. She got Michael Jackson's address and got on a plane to LA to go there. I have found some continuity issues already, though. She says she was obsessed with Michael Jackson when she was 13, but then she also says her sister who was 10 years older than her was still in high school when this was going on. 23 years old? Unlikely. I think there are laws against that. Otherwise, it's really got my attention.
ON HOLD
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson - I will not get this by Christmas, since that day is next week and I am number 7 on the hold list. There are only 3 copies in the system. I will most likely get it in January, which is fine. It's a novella so it probably goes pretty quickly.
Lonely Planet Hidden Libraries by DC Helmuth - This one still hasn't been delivered yet. It's ok. There isn't a time limit on when I can enjoy this one. I'm number 23 on the list. Hope they order a bunch of copies.
Cat + Gamer, Vol. 6 by Wataru Nadatani - There are two kitties now. They are both ridiculously cute. I can't believe cartoon kitties make me want to rub a belly. There are two copies of this one circulating and I am first on the list to get it. Woot! If people return their stuff on time, I might get it before the end of the year!
Colton Gentry's Third Act by Jeff Zentner - I actually got tired of waiting for this and canceled my hold. I told you last month I was thinking about it. I went back and looked at my October Library Wrap Up and I was first on the list. Well, apparently, sometime after my November Library post and today, they library got this thing in. I guess a lot of other people gave up on it, too, because there was an available copy today. So, I should be getting this in soon. Probably next week when I'm on vacation. Sigh. Then I have to decide if I come all the way downtown to get it, or wait until I come back. I guess it depends on when it comes in. We only hold them for a week. If it comes in on Monday, it will go back the next Monday and I won't be here until Tuesday. I could just request it again. No biggie.
Ok that's everything. Happy reading!
