That does mean, if you treat it like trying to get Glastonbury tickets, you could be the first person to reserve it on BorrowboxI'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 hold
My suspicion is it's down to expensive subscription fees and the chronic under funding of public libraries by local authorities. I haven't worked in a public library system but my (brief) time in HE libraries a looonnng time ago involved a lot of conversations with students about access to e-resources. Fun times!That does mean, if you treat it like trying to get Glastonbury tickets, you could be the first person to reserve it on BorrowboxI managed to listen to Slow Horses and Dead Lions on Spotify before they brought in their official audiobooks and purged all the bootlegs (but all the novellas can still be found on there for free ). With the really popular books with such long waitlists it does surprise me that the libraries don't get more electronic copies!
If only!!A year off work sounds good, just need to win the lottery!

The book that wouldn’t burn
The serpent and the wings of night
I would start with ACOTAR, it’s an easier introduction to the mass universe as Throne of Glass has a lot world building that can be intimidating. Hope that helpsI got both the Throne of Glass series and also the whole of ACOTAR for Christmas but I’ve got no idea which to start first!
I’m also really enjoying the Christmas break I’ve read 3 books so far.
Completely agree, start with ACOTAR and then TOG and then Crescent CityI would start with ACOTAR, it’s an easier introduction to the mass universe as Throne of Glass has a lot world building that can be intimidating. Hope that helps
Seconded! Read ACOTAR then Crescent City!I would start with ACOTAR, it’s an easier introduction to the mass universe as Throne of Glass has a lot world building that can be intimidating. Hope that helps
I would say an absolute yes. I've read them, & loved them, & I don't typically read fantasy.Is ACOTAR a good introduction to fantasy reading? I realllly want to give them a go as so many people rave about them but I've never read any fantasy

I wish Borrowbox worked on Kindle.. i cannot squint at my tiny shitty phoneI wish Libby worked on Kindle as I would read more of their ebooks. They have a good selection but reading on the iPad hurts my eyes. It makes no sense as I can use it for web browsing, emails etc. with no issue but as soon as I try to read a book my eyes get sore after a while.
I gave up
I read it and can't imagine what its like on film. if it has the same ending i am not surprised people are moaning about the films endingOoh 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.
Apparently according to staff at my local library they are SO DEAR. compared tpo print booksOurs only stocks a tiny amount on Borrowbox and not usually any titles I'd ever fancy readingWith the really popular books with such long waitlists it does surprise me that the libraries don't get more electronic copies!
I have that and her second one.on Kindle. absolutely sped through them. Love how I can imagine her voice reading it..Listening to this atm and LOVING it.
She’s amazing and tells her story so well
