Avocado books? You can never get the timing right of when you buy and when they ripen for you to eat - then they go off so fast!

[@irhonda31]

Oh, that’s good!

[@ArielBissett]

OMG this is so cute but hilariously I never have this happen cause I eat all avocados immediately!!!!!!!

[@irhonda31]

When I get all of my library holds at once, I call it “bookboozled” - love you guys!

[@irhonda31]

I had “library anxiety” at Christmas last year - three books that I had waited months for, all came at once and at the busiest time! AARRGGH! However, I did not know about “deliver later” or “manage hold” (as a commenter mentioned), so I have learned something! Read Rebecca! It’s so good!

[@circleofleaves2676]

You guys should make some buttons (as in badges/pins) with the words "deliver later" on it, because, get it, it would be your favourite BUTTON.

[@circleofleaves2676]

Pretty sure I saw in a Becky Chambers interview/discussion that Monk and Robot was only to be a duology, and a duology of novellas, at that. She's definitely confirmed that the Wayfarers series is complete at 4 books. I think you'll absolutely love that series too. Oh and make sure you read the dedication pages of the M&R books, they're so sweet.

I just DNF’d Call Me By Your Name earlier this month. I’ll just let it be a beautiful movie in my brain.

[@sarahnoll9018]

I call it the Libby Deluge… literally why do they always seem to come in all at once ??

[@isobelledger]

Terrace House was SO GOOD I cant even!

[@underhypedandoverrated]

That’s good to know about the cider house rules. I haven’t read it yet, but 100% recommend the movie it’s so good with fantastic whimsical music

[@cursedplumtree]

The surprise $100 shook me to my core

[@angelaluz405]

Hmmm...I wonder if I have any mashed potato horror novels, so I can combine Mashed Potato May with Horror MAYhem. I will have to dig in the piles that make up Mount Unread Book to find out!

[@SofiaPerez-jw3oy]

Funny you should say Library anxiety, my library card had to be verified (since I’m not in district) and my Libby app was about to cancel my hold on a book if I didn’t do it soon (a book which I’ve been waiting for for 9 weeks) 😅. Nobody was answering the phones since it was PACKED so I had to go in person and wait in huge line

[@donnacallender458]

We just had our big book sale on apr 21 and 22 in Manitoba in one of our malls. I bought 16 books for 35.00. Bought alot of classics. I went to grab 2 Robin Hobb books and thet were scooped up. 😢

[@elyse49]

Library anxiety is real 😂 But. What you can do is to use the tags to tag the books you're interested in. I have one tag just for those books and when I need to pick up a new one I go to that tag and see what's available. But if it's a new book that the library didn't have before then yeah, 'deliver it later' is the way to go. XD

[@annarose7525]

Let's be real, my entire years tbr is entirely mashed 'tatos

[@sleepinghusky19]

Definitely have experienced the feeling of all of the libby holds coming in all at once! I swear I place multiple holds that say they have wildly different wait times over the span of a few weeks and they all become available at the same time. Before I knew about the deliver later button I definitely had times where I would have like 15 audiobooks all at the same time and would be so overwhelmed that I wouldnt listen to any of them! I think I’ve mentally referred to it as book hold overwhelm but I like the library anxiety term, I also love the comment suggesting “Libby deluge”

[@daysleeper1989]

I cannot wait to see what you have prepared for the episode 200!

[@redclover3]

What's the podcast Raeleen mentions at the beginning?

[@BrendaMichelleReads]

It happens all the time haha I feel like they do it on purpose sometimes 2 or 3 holds always come in at the same time! I hate when I am being optimistic and accept more than 1 loan and don’t finish 1, it gets returned and then I have to ask for it again. Its a never ending cycle 😂

[@AdventuresInPages]

Ariel I know exactly what you mean. Seeing the "x amount of people are waiting" in Libby gives me so much anxiety and I want to be so considerate but also don't want to wait another 5 weeks but also what if I'm not in the mood? Consideration paralysis for sure.

[@Hillary429]

Is there a regular release schedule for the Movie Tub? I feel like it’s never out when I’m done watching the video version of the pod.

[@nikoolion]

Hey Ariel! I just wanted to say I absolutely love watching your podcasts! HOWEVER… I still miss your booktube type of videos 🥺 I would love it if you could do some here and there… Love all your content❤️🐸✨

[@francineh.7825]

Yes you should both come to Manitoba! I will have to see what mashed potatoe book I want to read. What is a chipmunk book?

[@yemmie112]

it's a book you really want to read but in the future so you bury it for the winter like a chipmunk with an acorn!

[@francineh.7825]

@@yemmie112 Thanks for the explanation!

Yes! Someone else who hates streaming service interfaces. They are so hard to use. I hated apple tv the most. And like non of them let me organise my watchlists which i would love
