What I have on hold

It is easy to place a hold on a book. You can come to the library and ask at the circulation desk to do it for you, you can place a hold while you are browsing at the computer catalogs, or you can do it from your home computer. You need to know your library card number and your pin number (which should be the last four digits of your telephone number). These are the books that I currently have on hold:

The thirteenth tale:a novel by Diana Setterfield. I was recommended by Jennie at the Scotch Plains Library.
Animal, vegetable, miracle: a year of food life by Barbara Kingsolver. A year of living the life of a localvore, eating only food from within a 50 mile radius. I love her fiction and I can't imagine being a localvore in Fanwood. Lots of fish I guess but what would be the cooking oil?
Nineteen minutes: a novel by Jodi Piccoult. This is summer reading at its best!
The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander. A long awaited second book.
The most famous man in America: the biography of Henry Ward Beecher by Debby Applegate. This book just won the Pulitizer for biography, and it continues my education in the years 1837 - 1864. Ask me about it.
The Yiddish policeman's union: a novel by Michael Chabon. Everyone who loved Kavelier and Clay raise their hand. That is why it's on my list.
What the dead know by Laura Lippman. It is going to be summer soon, Summer read anyone?

That's my list. Any opinions? What's on your list.
