Born To The Purple - historical fiction about Constantinople.
Was 3/4 of the way through another book which I had borrowed electronically from the library and just as I was at the good part, the library yanked it back. I was reading far more slowly than usual because I was sick so I didn't realize that the due date was so close. Now I've got to wait until it's available again because it had a wait list. Bah.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Bah.The whole concept of a waitlist and restricted checkouts for a library ebook just seems bizarre. Big publishing needs to dream up a marketing model based on yearly royalties and/or charges per checkout.
I get that libraries only get access to X number of "copies"
