Me and the Biblithèque Nationale are experiencing some slight stress in our relationship. See, after I got my library card, I reserved some books. Unlike at CML, the reserve system did not tell me my position on the waiting list. Unfortunate, but whatever. I decided I'd just wait. Last Tuesday, much to my delight, the library website informed me that New Moon, the next Stephanie Meyer book, would be "Available Soon."
And now it's Thursday -- nine days later -- and my book is still, supposedly "Available Soon." Apparently the library and I have vastly different interpretations of the word "soon," and they're driving me totally insane! Don't they get it that it's not fair to tease me like that?
books,
whinging,
