A brilliant idea with a tiny flaw
Mar. 7th, 2015 01:43 pmOur library has a special section for Hot Books - recent bestsellers which you can only take out for one week because they're so popular.
Excellent thinking. Gone Girl? Yep. The Girl On the Train? Certainly. Fifty Shades of Grey? Alright if you must.
But Wolf Hall? Maybe not so much. I'm sure there are many people who could knock it off in a week. But I suspect that the overlap between those people and the ones who have been prompted to pick it up on impulse at the library now because they've seen it on TV is fairly small.
