If you don't care about having them in a certain order, you can add as many as you want to your bookshelf. At least I think so. I don't know if there's a limit to how many books you can have on any one shelf.<br /><br />I'm excited for the Jane Casey book and ALL THE WAYS We SAY GOODBYE. I got the former from NetGalley and the latter from the publisher. Now, I just need to read them.<br /><br />Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Katherine!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-68818001471970089632020-04-25T10:41:09.916-07:002020-04-25T10:41:09.916-07:00There are a lot of features on Goodreads that I do...There are a lot of features on Goodreads that I don't use.

On a lighter note, I didn't realize Goodreads had a limit and I am painfully close to it so thanks for the heads up!

Her daughters were so devastated. She was a nice lady.<br /><br />Some good books here. Glad your library will be letting you have your hold! Some of the libraries in our area are doing this and some, like Austin, are still completely buttoned up.

His death is surreal and it's been tough watching his close family members deal with his passing. So sad :(<br /><br />I've been trying really, REALLY hard not to buy any books from anywhere because I have thousands of unread books sitting around my house that need attention. I've been tempted, though! My local B&N is doing curbside pickup. My favorite indie is still operating online and with curbside pickup as well, but it's a 40-minute round trip drive, so I haven't been willing to make the trek. I'm just hoping they can open back up soon. I miss browsing there.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Leah!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-90207053650086698462020-04-22T13:35:16.637-07:002020-04-22T13:35:16.637-07:00Ha ha.

The poor librarians have to work out in the heat (it's supposed to be in the mid-80s here in Arizona this week, and triple digits next week - ick), but at least they're able to work still. I definitely appreciate them being out there.<br /><br />I'm excited for THE SEA OF LOST GIRLS, too, especially now that I FINALLY have it in my hot little hands :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Jocelyn!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-31872969989457179722020-04-22T13:28:45.979-07:002020-04-22T13:28:45.979-07:00Let me know what you think of them when/if you get...Let me know what you think of them when/if you get to them.
