Most of those books I bought were not ones I had to wade through the blurb. There were books by authors I read or books I wanted to read so no need to read the blurb.

I know that feeling! I hear a book being mentioned on the CBC, head to Libby and see I'm 503rd on the queue. When my turn arrives it's.... why did I place that hold!

The last time that happened to me after the nice surprise when I got the notification, I found the book had expired it's maximum loans and I had to wait for them to order a new copy.

I imagine the 504th person on the list was nicely surprised to get it early, assuming you passed it on.

Nah; I always borrow and read. I'm a true glutton for punishment

When you put a hold on the same book at multiple libraries and you've downloaded it more then once.

Given how expensive ebooks are for libraries and that these days they're mostly expiring licenses (i.e., you just wasted a borrow), it seems to me that you should try really, really hard to avoid doing this.

Soapboxing a bit here, but I'm trying to be more judicious in my borrows, given how expensive they are for libraries and that I've got such a large TBR anyway. It's a win/win for me, as library borrows which might have been a passing fancy when I read a review or saw a mention push TBRs down my list because of due dates.
