For me, it's mostly the fact that all the books I wanna read have a Waiting List, and so when the book finally becomes available, it's like I'm not under a time crunch to either finish what I'm currently reading or drop it to read the thing that I was waiting to check out.

I don't think I used to have this problem when I was physically checking books out from a library. I think it might be a consequence of Overdrive's digital lending causing the average wait time for a book to be over six weeks, as opposed to like a week when I was checking out books from a small-town library.
