Dating myself again, the libraries I worked in (before the computer age) used to charge $.25 for a reserve to notify you by mail that a book was now available. I reserve all my books now on the computer and at first I used to get an automated call telling me it was available (never mentioning the title due to privacy concerns). Now, they are starting to notify me by email.

Didn't we have a discussion about that before? No... I read a discussion about it on the Librarians Who LibraryThing page. Apparently they do that in lots
of places... I think you usually get to move up the line if you pay for your reserve.

You know, I have yet to visit my new town library. I'll have to put that on the list of things to do before I start the new job :)
Oh Angel's Game thread...I actually just started the second part so I won't finish in time for the chat. But, I wouldn't have made it anyway since we have a birthday party for my cousin's 2 year old! I'm moving quicker now though as the pace of the story seems to be picking up.

Jill's right, charging for a reserve would bankrupt me. I guess I'd have to find the most comfortable chair at a bookstore and read them there.
Speaking of the bookstore person, IMO she wasn't being snarky. She was a very nice person (she's the one who gave us the ARCs I mention in the TBR thread) and enjoyed talking about books. To tell you the truth, when I was there I was having a very difficult time finishing this book and I was only about 1/2 way through it. When she called it literature it made me think about the book in a different way. Stupid? Yes, yet I finished the book. But truly, I don't think she meant it in a mean way.

Ahhh, that's nice to know Olle--I take all my evil thoughts back then.

Argh! I've been trying to find reading time (so sad to say that), but I don't think I'm going to finish by the chat time. I'm about 2/3
finished. Dare I come in??? Will there be too many spoilers?

Shoot ... but, I'm starting to lose interest surprisingly, so I may pop by anyway....

I'm driving somewhere today and thus won't be able to make the chat.
 Wish my mom would move closer and wasn't 7 hours away. Sigh. Hate driving
that far in one go by myself. However, I have HP 7 on CD so will listen to them. Can't wait to read the log, hope I can follow it. lol

Kathy, if you are about 2/3 of the way through I'm not surprised you're losing interest -- I did at about the same point. Not sure why. I was glad I
persevered just for the epilogue, though.
Actually, I'm not sure I'll be able to make chat today either. I foolishly pressed hubby about going to the Dragon Boat Races today not realizing when I did it that it was also chat day. I think I've gotten myself into something I can't easily get out of...
