The hold list at the NY Public Library recently burped up two big batches of books that had shown lengthy wait periods until quite recently. So this is what I have on hand from there (with due dates) plus my deadlines for book clubs. Still haven’t gotten to Michelle Obama’s book — sigh. Priorities clearly need to be set.
Loans:
Food52 Genius Recipes — due in 5 days (several neat recipes that I’ve bookmarked on the Food52 website)
Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman — due in 13 days, 15 people waiting (halfway thru, not exactly an upper)
Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple (audiobook) — due in 13 days, 97 people waiting (this will be released as a movie starring Cate Blanchett on March 22nd — very funny to listen to — halfway thru)
Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World by Jack Weatherford — due in 13 days, 1 person waiting
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth — due in 15 days, 1 person waiting (discussed at book club January 31st, but haven’t finished it yet — this is a renewal)
The Last Girl by Nadia Murad — due in 17 days, 1 person waiting (picked this up after seeing the amazing documentary about her, “On Her Shoulders”)
The Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer (audiobook) — due in 19 days (will launch into this after Bernadette — some times are simply meant more for listening than visual reading)
Others:
Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay — on hand (to be discussed at book club February 12th, if I can make it)
Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson — need to find a free copy as I’ve read it before but remember nothing at all about it (to be discussed at book club March 1st)
I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon — just released and available soon from library (to be discussed at book club April 5th but I know that tossing it back could mean waiting for months with a new book)
