Can I get this book locked in for Psychological Thriller as a MPG for Task 1.8. It's the last genre on the page, and I want to make sure it doesn't fall off before it gets to me from the library queue hold. I"m number 45, waiting on 1 of what should be about 52 copies.

I think I may have to go ahead and buy a copy because it doesn't look like I am going to get it in enough time ... but either way, I want to read it, so I want to make sure it counts!

Saw it - it will count 👍

....I know what you mean. I have 2 books on hold since February and they still haven't come in. 😐

Yes, it can be really frustrating.

Because I work in a library, I'm committed to reading books that are available as part of our library collection so that I can recommend them to our patrons and they can actually get them through our library. It's not really that hard. Our collection is huge, and so far, in the past seven years, I've only had to pass over a couple of books that we didn't have in our system.

Technically, because I am a library employee, I have the ability to put my book selections at the front of the queue, but I don't do that unless I'm really desperate. I feel l like it's not fair to others who are waiting, and the wait gives me a good feel for the frustrated anticipation they have when waiting for a hot new title.

🚧 Just a FYI - I been deleting old folders. Just finished 2014, but if you see out of place threads in the general folder. It means I hit the wrong button and they sent my deleted threads to the wrong place.😫
Please be patient, I will take care of those files too 👍
My goal is to delate all old folders up to 2021✌️

For 1.1 Silver
Does this have to be shiny silver or would grey work? I have a book that is 68% grey but more like smoke

Consider grey looks so much like silver, I'll count it..
