My holds list at the library tends to get out of control in December and January as best-of lists begin to appear, but this year stress has moved the needle to near-full earlier than usual. I haven’t hit the 25-item request limit yet, but will soon if I’m not careful, particularly because three of the items are still on order.
Here’s what I’ve requested from the library:
- Tana French’s The Witch Elm
- The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez
- The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke, by Jeffrey C. Stewart
- Flights, by Olga Tokarczuk
- The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge, by M.T. Anderson
- A Treasury of African American Christmas Stories, edited by Bettye Collier-Thomas
- Kate Milford’s Ghosts of Greenglass House
- Donald Hall’s Christmas at Eagle Pond
- All Summer Long, By Hope Larson
- T. E. McMorrow’s The Nutcracker in Harlem
- The Emissary, by YÅko Tawada
- A.J. Pearce’s Dear Mrs. Bird
- Children of Blood and Bone, by Tomi Adeyemi
- Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black
- Allie Rowbottom’s Jell-O Girls: A Family History
- Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing
- An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones
- There There, by Tommy Orange
- Becoming, by Michelle Obama (I’m also on the audio wait list, which I’d prefer, but I suspect neither will come through before the end of the year)
What have you put a hold on at the library?
