Top Ten Tuesday: Library Books I Want to Read That Have Long Waitlists


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

A stack of five books sitting on a shelf with their spines to the left out of view of the viewer. A second stack of five slimmer volumes are leaned up against the first stack, and these, too, have spines we can’t read. Their spines are turned toward the white wall. The original theme for this week was “The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection,” but I’m tweaking it a little.

Here are some library books I want to borrow but have not requested yet due to their long wait times when I was writing this post last month.

We only get to have fifteen ebook holds at a time in my local library system, so I need to be choosy about what I request.
