Beyond Selidor

That sucks. :-( Libraries are among the best inventions humankind has made, in my opinion. The public libraries fortunately have a really strong standing in Finland, so although there have been some spending cuts in the recent years, they still get an impressive selection. In my case it helps I live in the biggest city of the country and therefore also the most extensive public library network. Especially after the libraries of the whole Helsinki metropolitan area combined so that I can also reserve books from the libraries of the adjacent cities; and Espoo happens to somehow have a huge concentration of SFF geeks among the libraries and they get sooooo much prime SFF content. Nearly all the time I reserve some recent SFF from the library, I get it from the libraries of Espoo. But we also have a good access to e-books via the library and can get many things from there which aren't available as hard copies. It was one of the reasons I invested in an e-reader last year, since I draw the line at reading books on the computer screen.

Anyway, I now paid off enough of my library fines (because I use it a lot and then I forget to return things on time...) that I could reserve books again, so I reserved This Is How You Lose the Time War. I've been waiting for it to come out for months, it sounded so interesting, and I'm glad that readers seem to be really into it!
