However, I find it easy to find excuses for a celebration, but less easy I have to say in justifying celebrating with some new books or persuading my nearest and dearest of the same.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-55309769296194244552009-06-17T12:04:33.401+01:002009-06-17T12:04:33.401+01:00I have been curious about this one but sitting on ...I have been curious about this one but sitting on my hands to prevent myself from requesting it from the library until I have finished reading the ones I currently have - the TBR books and the 50p request charges are piling up!<br /><br />I desperately want to read Miss Buncle's book.

I'm sure it's likely to win something else, it's that sort of book. Highly recommended.<br /><br />Darlene - I pay 85p for each book which comes from another library in the county, or from the store at the headquarters. I'm lucky in that I live next to the county's biggest branch which also has its own store, but I find that so many of the books that I want are at the headquarters. I used to work in a public library (I now work in a college library, as well as at the Bodleian, in Oxford), and as a staff perk I used to get free reservations - I desperately miss that! Along with the lack of fines - I frequently forget to renew my books because I spent 5 years not having to!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-25711806328342803202009-06-17T07:11:56.630+01:002009-06-17T07:11:56.630+01:00I have this one on my wishlist at the bookdeposito...I have this one on my wishlist at the bookdepository - waiting for it in paperback - I have heard such good things about it :-)<br /><br />I will start with Miss Buncle's book (when I receive it!) and await your verdict on the next two!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747440460896344541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-51642446425410586662009-06-16T21:06:10.725+01:002009-06-16T21:06:10.725+01:00Do you have to pay to place a reservation on a lib...Do you have to pay to place a reservation on a library book? At the library where I work it is free but so frustrating when people don't pick up their books. That's a lot of wasted time. In a neighbouring city to mine they charge .50 for each book left uncollected.Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-24887319641555856382009-06-16T18:55:53.624+01:002009-06-16T18:55:53.624+01:00I'm hoping to read this one soon.
