Tawanda bookgroup: "Before We Were Yours" by Lisa Wingate. Not interested in the book but I do care about the group.
SF bookgroup: Swamp Thing vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. I do want to read this, and talk about it with my group, but there is a virtual Roeper School reunion the same night. SF bookgroup is also voting on picks for next year. I'll have to send in my votes early.
Classics bookgroup: If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, by Italo Calvino. Excited about book and discussion!

My library stopped charging overdue fines during lockdown. They haven't reinstated fines, but they just reduced the number of times you can renew a book from six to three. This is putting some gentle pressure on my tendency to hoard books but... yeah not making much progress there yet.

-- I just realized I can maybe get Yellowjackets from my local library! //goes to check

At least you have only interesting books from the library. Imagine the size of the stack if you had to include boring ones too!

Our library only allows two renewals. Each period is two weeks for new stuff and fiction, and four weeks for nonfiction (or really big fiction books). Maybe your checkout time is only 1 week?

Three weeks for almost everything. One week for DVDs and some very new very popular books.
