Getting the book into my hands felt like being that kid in the candy store who just got the last everlasting gobstopper from the jar.
I'd been on the library's waiting list for about a month, so I'm sure at least a few people behind me wished I hadn't remembered to pick it up before the 7-day hold period was over.
But whatever. Suckers! I did remember, and it's all mine! Mine, I say!
Well, until the due date in 3 weeks.

You left us hanging! What book is it?
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about that! Reached. In case you don't know, it's the last book in the Matched trilogy by Ally Condie. I loved the first two, and so far, this one is not a disappointment.
DeleteBut really, any book title could be inserted that we've waited on for so long, right?
I remember that thrill but I traded it in for a click on my iPad. ENjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe pay-off for waiting is sweet.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the anticipation...but these days, I do the Kindle click and have instant gratification - at least on that front!
ReplyDeleteAh, the wait is over. That is the best! Enjoy your read!
ReplyDeleteFun post! You built the excitement and anticipation well!!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I felt when I was reading the Hunger Games series! I could feel myself right there with you! The excitement, the waiting, the need to read! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI got a hold of The Hunger Games series a couple months before Mockingjay came out, and the wait near killed me.
DeleteAfter reading these comments, I believe I might have just written a piece for the history "books". :)
