READ FASTER! Second Edition

*Last week and this week have become insanely busy as I am trying to complete IEPs and paperwork for all of my kiddos now that school is ending on May 15th (a week early). As a result, I don't have much time right now to write reviews, but I do have time to complain about books I am waiting for that have still not arrived.

You can find the first edition HERE.

This post is not entirely serious, but maybe a little bit.

Obviously libraries have been closed for quite a while now - going on I think six weeks now? This means there has been a huge increase in the ebook holds, I am sure. I am one of those people requesting now, as I almost never get ebooks. I want physical copies from the library whenever I can get them.

There are a few books I have put in hold requests for, and I am STILL without them. I am pouting and I realize this is an insanely ridiculous #FirstWorldProblem to be complaining about, but I have not yet complained once since this whole thing started - mostly because I love being at home with my baby girl all day.

Books I Am Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiting For

1. The Sun Down Motel 

Hold Date: March 30th

Starting Position: 19 on 2 copies

Current Position: 10 on 2 copies

I have seen this one around for so long and finally decided this was the time to read it. I am becoming more interested in adult thrillers, though YA thrillers and Karen McManus will always be my #1s.

2. Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom 

Hold Date: March 31st

Starting Position: 4 on 1 copy

Current Position: 1 on 1 copy

You might think this is for Eleanor, but you are wrong Wrong WRONG. I have loved these stories since I was a child and have loved reading them to my classes, and to Eleanor. So yes, it is kind if for her but it is also for me. I was so excited when I found out a few months ago that there would finallyyyyyyyyyyy be a fourth book and had originally put in a hold for a physical copy when the books were still on-order. The library system closed before they could get those copies out, but the ebooks are still available so here we are. I AM NEXT. NEXT!

3. Eight Perfect Murders 

Hold Date: April 11th

Starting Position: 17 on 3 copies

Current Position: 14 on 3 copies

I saw this on Ethan's blog TWO WEEKS AGO and have hardly moved up in the queue at all. In TWO WEEKS! On THREE COPIES!

4. Perfect Little Children 

Hold Date: April 21st

Starting Position: 9 on 2 copies

Current Position: 7 on 2 copies

I actually can't be mad about this one because I just requested it four days ago.

5. The Woman in Cabin 10 

Hold Date: April 21st

Starting Position: 24 on 3 copies

Current Position: 19 on 3 copies

I requested this one the same day as #4 because I was told they have a similar feel.

6. Force of Nature 

Hold Date: April 21st

Starting Position: 4 on 1 copy

Current Position: 3 on 1 copy

Team-building gone awry? Sure, why not?!

Okay, so I realize in the grand scheme of things this is not a huge issue. But I really want these books, never mind the fact that I have a pile from NetGalley and hundreds of unread books on my Kindle and five-shelf bookcase stacked two and three deep.

#ALLTHEBOOKS!

Happy Reading,
