I really hate it when I get a book from the library and then have to return it without finishing it. I dislike when I don't finish a book on my own (I just have this thing, even if I don't like a book, I feel bad returning it without reading it), but worse than that is returning a book that I want to finish.
Cinda Williams Chima's novel The Exiled Queen was supposed to have come out last September, but for some reason, my library did not get the book until three weeks ago. Come on, people--it's January! And guess what? I didn't get to finish it. I have to admit, it didn't start off as good as I had hoped (and after reading Catherine Fisher's Sapphique and not being able to put it down, it's not surprising I read the first few chapters of The Exiled Queen rather slow. Plus, I was editing my novel and then my writing class started up... But I'm just listing excuses here).
So go figure, it finally started getting good about 100/200 pages ago and it's due at the library tomorrow. The obvious answer would be to renew it (or read super fast, though I doubt I could read more than half the book by tomorrow morning when I go into town), yet I can't renew it because someone else has it on hold. I hate when that happens.
Okay, okay, minirantover.
