When an Overdrive loans up and you're "why the hell did I put a hold on this?"

The last time that happened to me after the nice surprise when I got the notification, I found the book had expired it's maximum loans and I had to wait for them to order a new copy.

I imagine the 504th person on the list was nicely surprised to get it early, assuming you passed it on.

Soapboxing a bit here, but I'm trying to be more judicious in my borrows, given how expensive they are for libraries and that I've got such a large TBR anyway. It's a win/win for me, as library borrows which might have been a passing fancy when I read a review or saw a mention push TBRs down my list because of due dates. |
