So for popular authors it is best to recommend a book as soon as it is added to OverDrive, probably well before your specific library orders it.
I've made a handful of recommendations and have yet to see one of them come through. Wonder if libraries actually pay any attention to this feature? Or they set a metric for recommendations and purchases are made once the number has been met?
