At this rate I am going to buy the book

I knew Yesteryears became one of the most talked books to came out of BookCon this year. I was hoping my library would have enough books to fill in the depend. I guess not. 🤣 At this rate I am going to buy the book since it is my book club book of the month. I don't have time to wait for months for a copy of the book.

5/31 Edited to

As someone who’s been eagerly following the buzz around 'Yesteryear,' I completely understand the frustration of waiting months to get a copy through your library. With nearly 3,000 people waiting per copy and long queues online, it’s no surprise that many readers are resorting to buying the book outright. From my personal experience, owning a physical or e-book copy of a popular book like this not only guarantees that I can keep up with my book club schedule without delay, but it also allows me to annotate and revisit favorite passages anytime I want. The convenience far outweighs the cost, especially when you consider the excitement of reading a highly talked-about book that sparks great discussions. For those facing the same dilemma, I’d suggest exploring digital purchase options through platforms like OverDrive or local bookstores. While libraries are fantastic resources, their limitations with in-demand titles are becoming more apparent. Buying your own copy ensures you don't fall behind and supports the authors directly. Plus, being part of a book club means you can share your copy with fellow members, creating a mini community around 'Yesteryear.' Participating in hashtags like #bookclubchallenge, #lemon8bookclub, and #booktok can also connect you with others eager to discuss and share their thoughts, enriching the reading experience even further.

A red container holds numerous colorful annotating tabs, mechanical pencils, and blue pens. The image features text overlays stating 'BookTok Hates My Annotating AND I DON'T CARE,' reflecting a chaotic yet personal approach to book annotation.

Various book annotating supplies are neatly laid out on a white surface, including clear sticky notes, colorful unorganized tabs, Bic ballpoint pens, and pretty mechanical pencils, as labeled in the image.

BookTok Hates my Annotating

Okay maybe BookTok doesn’t care. Really I don’t care either. But annotating is one of my favorite things to do as I read! I don’t like to highlight or mark up my books. I was taught from a young age not to write in books, and it’s stuck with me. Which is why annotating tabs and clear sticky not
