But I admit that I'm tempted sometimes. If it's a matter of a couple of days, I'll do it, but if I'm a week or two behind, I go ahead and bite the bullet.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-75555859972586984112013-06-19T18:32:10.510-05:002013-06-19T18:32:10.510-05:00Sometimes, you just have to pay the 20 cents a day...Sometimes, you just have to pay the 20 cents a day fine and keep the book late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-224881255458970942013-06-14T14:06:10.957-05:002013-06-14T14:06:10.957-05:00Kayo, keep milking the system and you will never f...Kayo, keep milking the system and you will never find yourself without something to read. That's the beauty of the whole thing. I sometimes wonder at the days, long ago, when I suddenly realized I had nothing new in the house to read.

You never know which one will come up first and that's part of the fun. (Oh, and yes, I give up on more books...much quicker, too...than I did when I was younger and thought I still had all the reading time in the world.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-81433542136154845562013-06-14T14:01:37.072-05:002013-06-14T14:01:37.072-05:00Shannon, I hate when that happens.

I'm sitting on a long Civil War novel right now that needs to be read in just a week or it has to go back to the library for one of the 18 people who have it on hold behind me.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-19384927933364205842013-06-14T14:00:30.719-05:002013-06-14T14:00:30.719-05:00Sherry, that's exactly the problem I have with...Sherry, that's exactly the problem I have with library books.

I love, love knowing good reading is in my future. And I can never say for sure which will be the next title, because it may change according to whim. A nice shelf of TBR books is essential for me. <br /><br /> I'm pretty patient waiting for a newer release (although I am feeling not so patient about the newest Susan Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589508071251558063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-35553249177024537042013-06-13T21:46:22.890-05:002013-06-13T21:46:22.890-05:00I love the hold system through my library, too.

However, I end up with too many books in my book basket, and I can't get around to reading them all. So I have to return some unread---and then reserve them again.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.com
