Operation Budget - Library Edition

So, I am Hold #495 for the new David Sedaris book. I guess that's not too bad when there's 84 copies in the system...

Operation Budget-use the library- has been working excellent for the last year and a half, and now I rarely buy books, outside of the few Must-own-read-manga and the books that I really want to own because I wouldn't mind rereading them or lending them out. The only issue that has popped up is recently, the more business-y, social networking books aren't at the library, so I've had to buy a few of them.

But now, it's almost like a system, having the constantly running holds list, with the save list in the background for when the holds list is emptying. Yay for the Seattle library for allowing multiple lists for multiple levels of commitment.

And yay for in-coming sequels! The sequel to the surprisingly slashy The Last Knight is coming out this August, and the third book based off of Larklight and Starcross is coming out this October. (Reviews here and here.) Yay! Something new to add to the Holds list! (eventually...)
