[Learning] one book done, one still waiting

Finished the library book I grabbed 2 weeks ago, finally! Took me 9 days, slower than usual, mostly because I kept reading on my phone during the commute and the app crashed on me more than once.

The budgeting book is still sitting on the nightstand untouched, exactly like someone guessed it would be when I posted about grabbing it…

Due date was this Friday, 3 days out, so instead of returning it unread (again) I renewed it for 14 more days. Figured if I don’t put an actual number on it I’ll just let it slide the same way the first time around.

Plan is simple: 10 pages a night, nothing more ambitious than that. First night I got through 12 pages before the light went off, almost too easy, we’ll see if that holds. Not the first time I’ve started a money book and stalled halfway (plenty of practice at that), but at least there’s a due date doing some of the work this time.

    Renewing instead of returning it unread again was the right move. I tried the 10 pages a night plan too, made it 11 days before caving and finishing the rest in one sitting.

    I ask because my library caps renewals at 2 – does yours let you go past that?

    Mine’s let me renew more than twice so far

    GlowGarden said more than twice so far, must be a different system then… Mine caps hard at 2 renewals, so I just treat that as the real deadline instead of expecting extra weeks.
