Whoops! Well That Was Unexpected!

I've mentioned before that I love trying to plan returning one book to the library right as my next book is ready for pick up.

I'm usually pretty good at the timing and can monitor how quickly or slowly I'm going through a book and so when I'll finish the one I'm on and the biggest "issue" is finding a book that I can actually get put on hold with no issue and then seeing which branch it's going to be coming from and trying to factor that in to the timing!

I'm also avoiding books that have lots of holds on them as I don't like the pressure of not being able to renew and I never know how long a book is going to take me so it's just a combo I try to avoid! (But most of the books I want right now have huge hold numbers on them, d'oh!)

Well imagine my surprise when I picked up a new book yesterday (based off of a movie I saw on Netflix*) and whipped through like 10 chapters in one night!  I was shocked as it was happening and it's not the thickest of books so I may have to order my next book like pretty much the day after I started one!  (Which is crazy.)

I'm not sure why I'm going through this one so quickly as the writing is not overly simplistic so maybe I just really enjoy this writer and I'm debating trying another of his books sight unseen to see if that's the case!

But yeah, whipping through this book, it's kind of crazy, I wonder what tonight will hold!
