Six weeks, wow!
I don't really have any room to complain either; I'm sure the libraries are doing the best they can with the limited funds that most of them are operating on.
Full disclosure - I actually had a minor surgery yesterday and will be recuperating for the next two weeks and so am planning to hopefully get some good reading in. Although, I am finding that it is a challenge to read when pain pills make it hard to focus my eyes, heh. Anyway, I was hoping to read Under Fire during this time. I could read the free ebook version anytime but I'd prefer the Buss and I'm now invested in waiting for the loan to come in.
