WHY DON’T YOU JUST HAVE A LINK TO THE INTER-LIBRARY LOAN PROBLEM I MEAN GOD I’LL BET YOU COULD GET A PROGRAMMER TO FIX THAT FOR YOU POSTHASTE When I go to pick up the book – it was an inter-library loan from the Portland Public Library. And I’m all impressed that they sent someone out to Barnes & Noble to buy a book just for me! Like, three days later I get an email: Your request has been fulfilled. But then I remember that Yarmouth is one of the richest towns in southern Maine and I also pay taxes, so fuck it, I request that the library purchases the book. There is a link for “purchase request,” which makes me sad. Nowhere within the website is there a link to the inter-library loan program. So I look for a link to request an inter-library loan on the website. (Shoulda known it was Her Royal Spyness, but that seemed almost too easy?) Then I went to the Yarmouth library’s website and … learned that they have almost every other title in the series, but not the first one. I was intrigued! I went to Goodreads, and found out the first title in the series. Everyone was saying it’s so cute, and a fast read, and etc. It’s great! And one afternoon, a whole bunch of people were raving about the “Her Royal Spyness” mysteries. I follow Go Fug Yourself / on Twitter, and occasionally they’ll have a post called “Afternoon Book Chat” where people post comments about the books they’re currently reading.
