And then there were forty open tabs with fantasy books and how is one supposed to pick a favourite child? I did make myself pick one (Jade City) which I haven't read, but it is also on my TBR, just not on the 'maybe I'll read that this year' wish list.
I was just having a lot of fun going through the list.
I also discovered books early. As a child, there was a strict limit on two books at a time from the council library (adults got four!) and so I've been building my reading wishlist since the 80s. My full one has multiple thousands of books on.

Date: 2024-06-23 04:11 pm (UTC)Possibly also different times? This was the early 80s, and loans were done entirely manually, so that I had two little folders that were my library 'cards', and the card from in the book went in to my little folder, and then the librarian put it in the filing drawer. By the time I had kids, library cards were swipe cards with barcodes, and we could get many books per person.

Date: 2024-07-01 02:05 pm (UTC)hmm. trying to remember whether I was using a public (council) library in the early 90s, or whether all my reading was coming from the uni library. I remember going to the nearest library, but that might have been late 90s (I lived near to campus for quite a number of years, including some post graduation). By the time I was regularly using a public library again, I think we had barcodes, but that would have been 2000.
