    Hold organization

    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

  • Slumping.

    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😅

  • Macbeth
    Watch the play before or after reading

    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.)

    Ninth House

    Leigh Bardugo

    Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her? Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. These eight windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.

    "If I am weak for wanting you, then let me embrace that weakness and make it my strength. And if you must haunt me, then let me haunt you in return."
