I love libraries so much!! I tend to request ebooks mostly these days. I don't have to take them back when they need returned. haha. I'm so bad about doing that with the busy schedule!!

Those are the exact same reasons that I went rogue on the topic this week too!

I keep waiting for a heatwave to appear here in the UK, but so far we have been lucky. It has been fairly cool with bits of sun and rain. I love an overcast day so I'm very happy 😂

I hope you get the judging position that you want 🤞🏻

Those books all sound interesting, so I hope that you enjoy them when you get to them and they come in!

Have a great week!

I agree, it rubs me the wrong way too!! Hope you enjoy these reads, thanks for dropping by my post! (@onereadingnurse)

I love your list this week! You've got so many books that are new to me that sound incredibly interesting. I've only read one of these, but Darling Girls was fantastic, so I hope you really enjoy all of these hot summer reads and stay cool.

I used to feel the same way about bookish wishes, too. Then one year, I saw it as a way to bless someone I may never meet in person. I don't care if someone grants my wishes, but I enjoy granting a wish or two.

Love your list this week! I've seen some of these around and some are new to me. I Know Who You Are sounds so fascinating. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog. Hope it cools down where you are.

I hope some of these holds come in for you soon (but hopefully not all at once because that can be overwhelming). Happy reading!

Ooh nice ones! These are all new to me ones! I hope they trickle in one-by-one for when your turn comes along! I've always heard the horror stories of when they all come at once and it's impossible to get to them all! So I hope that doesn't happen to you! ;)

Thanks for visiting my TTT!

I love my library and I've been trying to really make a point of using it more lately.

I don't often go for mystery/thrillers, but I do want to try something by Riley Sager. Next time I'm in the mood for a mystery, I'll have to choose one of his.

I really don't like 100+ temps! We're supposed to hit 100 tomorrow here in Salt Lake. Ugh. That's when I stay inside and read. And I just finished reading and posting about that Barbara Rae-Venter book! I thought it was really good, and so interesting. And I'm really hoping the new Riley Sager is a good one. Happy reading! :D

I'm excited about the new Riley Sager book as well. I've enjoyed many of his. I'm kind of on the fence about reading Darling Girls. Maybe I'll wait and see what you think, Susan. As to temps, we're in the 90's for sure. Don't think we have hit 100 yet, but it's coming. We've had a lot more rain than in the last two or three years and that's helping keep the temps down a bit, but the humidity is brutal. It's definitely summer - ha!

Yay for supporting local libraries! I also own a lot of books and use my library more than I purchase :)

I just put some books on hold at the library this morning! Not sure when they will come in but I am supposed to be taking a break from the library to read my own books, LOL!

Great mix of books! The only one I"ve read is Darling Girls -- Sally Hepworth's books always hook me right from the start. This one wasn't my favorite, but it was a still a totally immersive read -- hope you enjoy!

The middle grade books, seems emotional and lovely. I hope you enjoy all these books

I've never heard of these but hopefully they go well when you get to them.

I'm definitely a library user! I've just put Light and Air on hold at my library. Thank you!

Does one every grow accustomed to temperatures that high? Stay cool, and I hope all your library holds don't come in at the same time (mine always do)

I hope you get to read and enjoy all these books soon! And best of luck with the Cybils judging picks!

Oh that is a GREAT topic idea. And still thematic, for library holds are certainly a type of bookish wishlist!

I have Middle of the Night on hold too. odds are like 50/50 I'll get it by end of summer, but definitely a lot faster than I got his last book. I hadn't heard of the GSK book -- it sounds like it will make a nice complement to the 2nd half of the story following Michelle McNamara's book.

And since you asked... :D my other current holds include Birding With Benefits, The Nature of Disappearing, The Wishing Game, The Spellshop, and The Heiress (by Rachel Hawkins). Now I just have to sort through the 15-20 items already checked out (standard amount tbh) to determine what I've read & still want to keep vs. return, what is yet to read, and what I need to stop lying to myself about already and admit I'm not going to read before the final due date at this time.

This is such a great topic! I have so many library holds that would be fun to talk about. Although, all of mine are digital holds with many of them being audiobooks. I hope you enjoy all of these once they become available for you!

I feel the same way about this topic which is why I always pivot to something else for it as well.

May all of your library books arrive exactly when you need the next one (and not all at once like they have for me a few times. LOL).

Thank you for stopping by earlier.

I think I've seen one of Anna Rose's books on another list at one time! That author name sounds so familiar. Hope you enjoy ALL of these, AND you're staying cool too. :) Thanks a bunch for visiting my list last week. Appreciate this.

Sally Hepworth is very popular at the library where I work. Seems like someone always has one of her books on hold. I know what you mean about last week's prompt. I felt weird about it so I just skipped it. LOL. I hope you're having a great Tuesday, Susan!

Great take on the topic! I have a Riley Sager on hold as well though a different one and I'm looking forward to reading the Sally Hepworth!
