I did pretty well at keeping my holds organized for a while, but lately I let them all go wacky, and boom, I have a million books out at once. I already returned the ones with the longest waiting lists but my cups are still runnething over or something, so let's see what's on deck and play another round of "Which of you will be returned unread?" ™ Jessica.
Sourdough- I already started this, and it's short, so I'll definitely finish it. I'm already wishing it was...
