Laura Hillenbrand's newest book sounds just like something I would love to read, so I added it to my wishlist...Today, I was browsing my list and was horrified to find myself 909th in line for this book!!! I was going to remove it from my list and just buy it, but I'm kind of curious to see exactly how long it will take me to move up 909 places. I don't think I have ever been in such a long wishlist line before. A 228 week wait, lol!

Nope, never been on a WL line that long, but it looks like there are a fair amount of books being posted, so it may go rather quickly - maybe you'll get it before you become a grandma, Valli

Ha!  Good luck with that one.  My dd read it (from my library) and said it was excellent.

I was somewhere around 1150 for Girl With the Dragon Tatoo and received in about 3 months.  I think it depends on the book.  One thing I've noticed with heavily WL books is once the "craze" dies down there is a glut of them posted and you can't give away your copy.

If you like audiobooks, Audible has it on sale - 40% off. See the top 40 list for the 40% off sale, which ends Tuesday.
