Several weeks ago, I put myself on the Norwalk Library's waiting list for The Testaments, Margaret Atwood's sequel to The Handmaid's Tale.
As I waited, I re-read The Handmaid's Tale and caught up on some magazines. Last Monday, I picked up two books at the Norwalk Library book sale. I started to read one, Wait Till Next Year: Doris Kearns Goodwin's memoir of growing up in Brooklyn as a Dodgers fan. At that time I was number three on the waiting list, I had only moved up one place since the previous week.
In effect, Goodwin's book was my pinch reading, until I could get The Testaments.
I love baseball terms.
