A Bummer Is . . .

Sad that I didn‘t hit the 20 hours, but I did get about halfway through Project Hail Mary, and would have completed my other book…except I realized that it was on my December #bookspinbingo list and so I stopped reading that one! 🤦‍♀️

Realizing that weekends are going to be harder to get reading in, as that is my time with the nephews while I‘m visiting. I‘ll be happy with whatever I can squeeze in for December!

None of the August choices really appealed to me, so I‘m skipping this month‘s #botm box. 🤷🏻‍♀️ There‘s always September... Sweet Little Lies is going on my #tbr list, but I‘ll pick it up from the library eventually.

Whimsical.Curiosity Also skipped. 6y

Beachesnbooks I'll be skipping too 6y

MoniqueReads305 Same. I am going to get the historical fiction one from the library also. 6y

JackOBotts @Whimsical.Curiosity @Beachesnbooks @MoniqueReads305 I feel like I‘m seeing a lot of BOTM “skips” for this month...more than I usually do. This gives me a chance to read my BOTM backlog, maybe! 🤞🏼 6y

MoniqueReads305 @JackOBotts Yeah. It's a pretty underwhelming month and I don't see the enthusiasm I normally do with BOTM. Hopefully, next month will be better. 6y

Whimsical.Curiosity @MoniqueReads305 @JackOBotts same. I need an exciting month! 6y

...when you can‘t have immediate gratification! I never knew this was a thing with Hoopla. 😧

readordierachel Yeah, I hate when that happens. I guess it's the trade off for no wait lists. 6y

queerbookreader Oooo I use my friend's hoopla acct cos my library doesn't have it and her library's limit resets at 7pm so whenever I'm ready to pick out my six titles for the month I always show up at 7 on the dot!! What is your library's monthly limit? I've always wondered if they all differ 6y

AlaMich @queerbookreader I don‘t use Hoopla very often so tonight was the first time I ever ran into that. I believe the limit for each account is 6, but the way I read this message is that the library has a limit for all of its patrons (the “collective limit”). 6y

AlaMich @ReadOrDieRachel Yeah, can‘t really complain when there are no wait lists and it‘s free! 6y

TiredLibrarian @queerbookreader @AlaMich My understanding is that Hoopla charges libraries per item borrowed, so the libraries set limits based on their budget and usage. In my library system it's 3 items per month 😕 I haven't heard of a collective limit, but it's possible your library set it up that way. 6y

AlaMich @TiredLibrarian That‘s what I figured about the fee structure. But, yes, the collective limit thing is interesting. 6y

TK-421 I keep getting this error message too! So frustrating, but 🤷‍♀️ 6y

AlaMich @TK-421 I guess I‘d better start browsing a bit earlier from now on. 6y

...seeing this notification on my baby app! While regular interactions with adults will be nice, I‘m feeling anxious about getting my act together. And yes, without this app I probably couldn‘t remember times of last feedings/diaper changes! 😜😳

I thought my migraine sleep study was Friday night/Saturday afternoon. I knew that would make things a little tough for #24in48, but I thought I might be able to do it. I found out today it's actually Saturday night to Sunday. I can't stay up all night the night before, so there's pretty much no way I'll be able to hit anywhere close to 24 hours. Oh well. I'll be playing along in spirit!

BarbaraTheBibliophage 😓😓 Hope you get the answers you need from the study! 7y

BookishMarginalia Maybe you can do #6in12 😜 7y

DGRachel Thanks @BarbaraTheBibliophage! @BookishMarginalia I figured I'd do as much reading as I could during the day Saturday and while I was at the doctor's office, not actively being tested. I just know I'm going to have HOURS of Litsy posts to catch up on. ☺️ 7y

LauraBrook Bummer! That really sucks. But I hope you can get a whole bunch of reading in before and after the study - and that the study gives you some good answers! 7y

DGRachel Thanks, @LauraBrook I'm desperate and at my wits end, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏻 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess Aww bummer but good luck with the study! 7y

Suzze Hope the study helps with some answers that bring relief. And there's always the next readathon! 7y

LauraBeth Oh bummer - but you can catch the next go round of it! I hope all goes well with the study and you're able to benefit from the answers 😀I also like @BookishMarginalia idea 😂 7y

BookishFeminist That's a bummer. I've done that before and there's nothing like messing up a schedule for something you've really been looking forward to. I really hope the study gives you some answers though! Migraines are awful. 7y

DGRachel @Graciouswarriorprincess @Suzze @LauraBeth @BookishFeminist Thanks for the encouragement! 7y

EllieDottie I'm sorry! I hope you feel better soon! 7y

DGRachel Thanks @EllieDottie 7y

DebinHawaii Bummer but hopefully the study will help. 💜 7y

DGRachel Thanks @DebinHawaii ! 7y

Godmotherx5 Timing may feel off but you're going to be where you need to be. Best Wishes for a positive outcome. 7y

DGRachel @Godmotherx5 thank you. 🤗 7y
