[Beth]

Thanks, Anne, I can't wait to read it! And it's cool because I don't think I've ever won a book prior to release :)

[Anne]

That is really awesome Beth!! You'll have to let me know how it is :D

I loved Dear Mr Darcy and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Anne Bronte is really very underated as an author.

[Anne]

I hope to read both this year! I haven't read a JAFF in ages, and Tenant will be my next Bronte. I read Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey and really liked it :)

[Aerykah]

I have these from my library -- I had the fiction ones on hold & they all came in at once! :)

[Anne]

Oooh! So many that I want to read too! I hope you enjoy them all :D

[Aerykah]

Thanks, Anne! I was super excited when the first one came in! And they just kept coming! ;D I just hope I get to read them all before my time runs out..... ;)

[Anne]

Hahaha, that's great! My holds usually come in slowly, one after the other ;) Does your library let you renew books twice provided no one put a hold on it?

[Aerykah]

Yes, they do! So as long as no one else wants it... I can keep a book for 6 weeks! :) Unfortunately, that's not usually the case with new books. :(

[Anne]

Yes, very true, I imagine they must be very much in demand! How long do you have if someone wants it? Two or three weeks? Here we have 3 weeks, and up to 2 renewals, so you keep some books for quite a long time! Sometimes it's not good though, because I forget that it's due back!

[Aerykah]

Yeah, there's usually a fairly long wait list for the new books. I can only keep it for 2 weeks if someone else is wanting it. I'll admit I have actually put my mom's name on the wait list right behind mine before so that she can check it out for me if I don't finish it in time so I get an extra 2 weeks. My brothers say that's cheating. haha! ;P
We have 2-week loans with up to 2 renewals here.

[Anne]

Oh my, I never thought of that! I don't think it's cheating, I think it's brilliant! Will have to do that too now hahaha ;)

[Aerykah]

Haha! Yes, one of my few moments of brilliance. More like I was just desperate to not have to give up my book right in the middle of reading it! Lol! ;)

[Carlien]

Hahaha Love it!!! ☺️

[Hannah]

Another trick I've pulled is returning a book I know I can't get to a few days early, so it gets back to me sooner!

Hahaha!! I'm sure you've had many other moments of brilliance, but that trick really is good!

[Anne]

Good one too, Hannah! I'll really have to keep those in mind.

[Bonnie]

Another Sunday School teacher at church had these and didnt know what to do with them and offered them to me...I was SO HAPPY!!! My mom and I love Joyce Meyer! Always have!

[Aerykah]

Within the past few days, my library has gotten all of these books in for me:

Why must they all come in at the same time?! I know I'm not gonna get them all read before I have to take them back.....
I've started Thin Ice already & I've got another book I'm supposed to start soon for a buddy read... *sigh* So many books, so little time.

[Bonnie]

Those look good Aerykah! Hope you get to read at least most of them!

[Anne]

Enjoy Aery! I know what you mean about getting them all at once though ;) I hope you get to read most of them!

[Aerykah]

Thanks!! :)
I will read all of them-- eventually. hehe! ;P Question is: When?! I know it won't be before I have to take them back. ;P

[Hannah]

Just got:

[Maria]

Whispers in the Reading Room sounds great! Look forward to your thoughts, Aerykah! :)

Hannah, have you read the other books in the Christiansen Family series? I think I own the first two but haven't got to them yet.

[Aerykah]

I've definitely been looking forward to that one, Maria! ;D
