I really wanted to read these books. It is interesting. Except it's taking me forever (just had to renew my 21 day reservation and I'm ONLY 22% in). Mostly because you're either in a government meeting (which feels like work) or you're experiencing seemingly not connected experiences. I'm sure it'll come around like the last one but I think I was in error to think of these as "alien" stories.

This is always pitched to me as a "classic" and I'm excited to finally be getting around to it. Shout out to Lucy and Jennifer for the book club getting me to this one faster. Opting for the audible exclusive immersive version, hopefully it's good!

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I use Libby for almost all my reading and I rarely have a hard time finding a book on my TBR there. Sometimes I wait a long time but that's okay. But now I have an entire LIST of books not available there! And most of them were published about 5 or more years ago!! I'm sad. I have no book money right now (well, lol I have no money) so Libby is my only real source. Here's the books I can't find. If anyone has read these and can recommend something that might be close, let me know!!! "The God of Lost Words" by AJ Hackwith (book 3 of a trilogy where the other 2 were available!) "Thief of Night" by Holly Black (they have the first book but not the second!) "Tarnished City" by Vic James "Bright Ruin" by Vic James (They have book 1 but not 2 and 3?!) "The Plastic Magician" by Charlie N Holmberg (again they have the first 2 or 3 but not the last one?!) And don't even get me started on new books by authors they already carry. They don't have "Overgrowth" by Mira Grant. Don't have "Strange New World" by Vivian Shaw T. Kingfisher has a new one that I can't remember the name of and again, nope! I love libraries but it's HARD to read current/new authors exclusively through the library. :(
