How do people organize their holds? Until lateish last year I was living in a city (Cardiff) for a while with an amazing library just a 15 min walk from my house. I would go once every two weeks to pick up a hold or two along with a few books from the stacks and never had an issue.

Now that my current city (Oxford) charges for library holds on physical books, I've been juggling (spare) physical holds with digital holds from 5 online libs (Cardiff, Oxford, my hometown, my boyfriend's hometown, and the Queer Liberation Library). Every few days I'll just get a notification from Libby that a book I barely remember placing on hold is available.

How do people in similar circumstances organize their holds? Looking for some inspo

I feel like nothing I’m picking up lately is doing it for me. I don’t want to slump and fall out of my routine of reading as part of my every day. Please give me all of your best “this one got me out of a reading slump” suggestions. No romantasy please, my brain seems to hate that the most right now😅

This is my first time reading Macbeth and the only thing I know about it is there's witches.

If you have read it, from your experience, would it be better to watch a theatre production of the play first or would it work better to read the play first amd watch it at the end?

(I read Romeo and Juliet recently and watched the play after reading which worked out great, but since I knew more about that play going into it, I'm wondering if that would work out for Macbeth too or if I should switch it around to have the full context when reading.)

OH MY JACK TAMERLAINE🥰

Unless it's extremely good I want books written by women. Preferably poc Autism ADHD OCD or all of them just give me what u got 🙆🏾‍♀️🌟

Guys, please. I stopped reading for a while, so I knew when I started reading again I would just want to start consuming books, but for some stupid reason I broke my reading fast with a rivals to lovers book and since that trope for some reason has a chokehold on me I am desperate for rivals to lovers books. I am in agony. I sound so melodramatic, but seriously, I need a romance to fix me. If you guys have any recs, let me know. I love academic rivals to lovers, but I’ll take other kinds of rivals to lovers books as well. Two of my favorites are I hope this doesn’t find you by Ann Liang and TJ Powar has something to prove by Jesmeen Kaur Deo. Oh, and also, please no spice! Thank you!
