Aubrey Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So I started reading a trilogy, & went ahead & requested book 2 when I requested book 1, figuring if it was good, I'd want it right away. Plus, I'm like #6 in line for it. It was good. I did want it right away. I made a special trip to the library when LE said it was there. And it's on CD. What am I supposed to do w/ that? I can't play it w/ the dc around--I don't know if it's appropriate. I can't play it during sch while I wait for ds to finish his math--totally distracting. I don't have a headset so it can follow me around the house after bedtime. Bummer. BUMMER. Now I'm back at the bottom of the request list, wondering if I'll get the book or the CD this time. Argh! :smash: (Btw, PiCO, I owe you some rep for rec this series. It's a perfect ex of "Distopian Lit" as dh calls it, & I LOVE that genre. I tried to rep you, but...I can't remember if it said I'd already given you some or I'm out.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenKitty Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I hope it doesn't take to long to get on print! I know how it is waiting for a book you really want to read. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamom3 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 My librarian told me yesterday that I could put the books on cd, onto my ipod. I was surprised that I could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readwithem Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Aw, I wish the library would put in bold print anything that is unusual about the item. I've done the same thing as well as books in Spanish AND in large print. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually know what an ipod *is.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Aw, I wish the library would put in bold print anything that is unusual about the item. I've done the same thing as well as books in Spanish AND in large print. Sigh. I'm pretty sure I clicked "book" & then "next avail. copy." I don't think I got a choice between CD & book. I really *hope* I overlooked it, though, because otherwise...who knows what I'll get *this* time? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 When I request books at my library, they have a comment section, where I can specify format. Sometimes they're not very good about it though. When I requested Life of Fred Geometry, they sent LoF Algebra :glare: Since they haven't produced anything I've requested since January, though, I'm starting to give up hope. At you got the CD. Can you play it on your computer with headphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
