The suspenseful ones:
The ghostly ones:
The (f)undead ones:
The apocalyptic "try to survive this" dsytopian future ones:
And one unique roadtrip read:
Now if only my library would pony up and purchase them first. Because
I don't want to have to buy all these books; I just want to read them!
Happy Reading!

All of those books look so good!! I love the name Kumkuat for a title :) Hope your library buys them ASAP so you can borrow them right away :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm crossing my fingers. :)
DeleteI'm not familiar with most titles here but they sound interesting. Yes, I wish our libraries will purchase more titles especially those which need more attention. Hope your library will purchase those titles soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll probably get their form response of "Thanks for asking, but we are unable to purchase this book at this time." :)
DeleteI have two libraries I frequent. They're pretty good at getting new books in but I really hate when they don't. That's probably why I own so many books. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I keep having to buy the books by library either won't (or can't) buy or borrow. It's very frustrating. And I'm running out of shelf space! :D
DeleteDo you use/have access to Hoopla or Overdrive? I am able to access electronic and audio books via my library with the Overdrive app which has titles which are not available in physical form in the library. I prefer the book, but like you am unfortunately not able to buy every book I want to read!
ReplyDeleteMy library does have Overdrive, but their system isn't very user friendly. And I think it's sad that it's gotten to the point where sometimes the only way you can get a copy of a book is if its electronic. I like real books so much better!
DeleteI gave up on our library years ago...they don't cover genres I like, don't get in all the new bopoks, and charge you money to order books in. I'll stick with Amazon!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your library charges you to order books in! At least mine doesn't do that. I just wish it bought a few less copies of the latest bestsellers and more copies of the books I want to read. :D
DeleteI get frustrated when our library doesn't have the books I'm interested in. When I have it on my library list, I don't want to wait for a loan from another library. Nevertheless, I'm so grateful to our public libraries for making so many books available--for free. Well, except for the occasional fine. :)
ReplyDelete:D Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without my library, even with all its imperfections.
DeleteI get bummed when my library doesn't have the books I want! I tend to request a lot of books on Overdrive, but I don't get my wish very often.
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate that? I know I do. :)
DeleteThat's a great topic choice! There are always books I wish my library had. Sometimes they'll get a title if I request it, but not always, and rarely in a timely manner. OTOH, I can't complain; it's a large library system for a small city and its exurban environs, and they have a pretty good selection on the whole.
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without my library...I just wish it had every book in the world that I wanted to read. Haha! I think that's what they call heaven. :)
