I have World of Trouble on hold at my library. I just checked their site, and they've finally gotten the book in. It's checked out to someone else right now. Darn! I'm going out of town next Tuesday, and I'll be gone for nearly two weeks. so I think I'd better put myself at the back of the line for getting the book. I don't want it to become available and then I can't pick it up before they send it to someone else.
