Me too! I thought I’d get it if it came on up on 99p deal but have seen a few more reviews recently that influenced me to include it in my Waterstones sale order.I didnt get through all my festive books. Guess theyre going back on my list for next year because I really dont feel like reading them now.
Ive got 2 to finish and then I will be moving on to my January readsI really fancy Penance now because of all the good reviews.
We’ll gloss over the fact I bought 4 books I didn’t need today 🫢Going to be strict next year and only buy 99p deals I really want and DNF'ing books i don't enjoy.
Yes I bought it on a 99p offer but think it may be better in physical book format. So I think you may have won there.Me too! I thought I’d get it if it came on up on 99p deal but have seen a few more reviews recently that influenced me to include it in my Waterstones sale order.
I say this but I know I won't be able to help myself.We’ll gloss over the fact I bought 4 books I didn’t need today 🫢
This needs to be my plan for next year too!

Yeah I have this problem too. I use the reading list option, I try and add things that are rarely requested so that, if I'm on a load of waiting lists/a book becomes available I'm not in the mood for, I can return it and check my reading list for something available now. I also sometimes will return a book and then re-request it, putting myself to the back of the queue in case I will want it when it next becomes available.My main issue with borrow box is having to request books so far in advance and then when I finally get it I dont fancy it at that point.
Just had Kristin Hannah - Another Life crop up and I dont know if I want it now. Annoying.
I've had Slow Horses on my list since, April - gone from 42nd to 17th place. My library are moving from Libby to Borrowbox in Feb and no holds or lists will migrate, so I don't think I'll ever get it! I bought it from Amazon for 99p recently but still kept my holdYeah I have this problem too.

It has been frustrating me recently, because I've been reading a lot more. So I've started using the actual library itself for physical copies. When I request a paper book I seem to get it much quicker (was on the waiting list for the Mick Herron on BorrowBox for a year, and current waiting list for it goes up to 2027. However there are loads of paper copies of various books of his and I've read 4 in the last month).
I’m similar. I need to either take a year off buying books or a year off work!I’ve just been to Waterstones and bought three new books 🫣
I have a TBR cupboard and two drawers full!
2024 needs to be a quiet one to get me through all of these books
I enjoyed leave the world behind after finding it in my library 2 years ago- it was short although the ending was annoying! I haven’t watched the Netflix adaptation yet but assumed if they kept the same ending people would be frustratedOoh I’ve found my new home. Only got back into reading this year but still have a few books to go in my 2023 challenge so it’s going to be a busy few days with all my books I’ve checked out the library (returned to using the library to make good use of the service and save money).
Just finished Rumaan Alam’s Leave the world behind after starting to watch on Netflix. Was disappointed with it and not sure I want to watch the rest of the movie. (Once I realised it was based on a book I had to read it first before watching anymore)
Moving onto a Cecilia Ahern book I was given as a freebie.
A year off work sounds good, just need to win the lottery!I’m similar. I need to either take a year off buying books or a year off work!
