I love my library. Not only do they have most of the newer titles that I want to read, but they have ordered every single book I’ve requested they purchase. Then of course, I’m first in line to read it as well. Not that I expect my requests to be 100% fulfilled in the future, but I’ve been more than satisfied so far. A couple of weeks ago, I requested three books not in the system. A few days ago I noticed they were on my hold request list as ordered. And, because I usually have a good idea when a book is coming out, I’m also usually first or second in line for it if it is already on order. I couldn’t ask for much more. That’s why I feel comfortable not accepting ARCs anymore. I won’t have to worry about the new FTC guidelines, and I can still read for free most of the books I’m interested in. Yay!!!!! for public libraries. Oh, and the books I requested that are now on order:
- The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan
- Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel
- The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist
I’m really looking forward to reading them!
I hope you enjoy The Day the Falls Stood Still!
Your library sounds great! Happy reading.
I liked The Day the Falls Stood Still. Hope you do too.
3 interesting reads, 3 that I want to read too! Especially The Unit, I have heard really good things about it.
The Unit is a really great book! I read it as soon as I heard it was out and it will definitely be worth your while.
The Unit was amazing and I do not typically go in for dystopian literature. Happy reading!
Someday I will start a Library, and some one will say this about my library too
I am big time envious of your library
Looks like you got some good books. I’ve been wanting to read The Day the Falls Stood Still.
I hope you like The Day the Falls Stood Still, too! I’m going to a reading & book signing of hers this weekend!
It amazes me that some people never use the library. Libraries are wonderful. Mine is great too. It’s part of a network so most books I request are available within a reasonable amount of time. Sometimes I get four I requested on the same day and then it’s a problem. Last Night in Montreal is great. I interviewed Emily on my site.
I REALLY liked “The Unit” and thought “The Day The Falls Stood Still” was quite enjoyable. I haven’t read “Last Night In Montreal” but a lot of people said good things about it.
I adored The Day the Falls Stood Still. One of the only books I’ve ever reread. I’ve heard really great things abut the other two, also. Happy reading!
Oh, LAST NIGHT IN MONTREAL is a phenomenal book! So much imagery that is powerful and natural to the storyline (not forced). Enjoy your books; yes, your library is wonderful!
