I really struggle with making Libby holds work. I usually need 2 weeks to read a book, depending on length, so I can’t borrow books until I’m ready to read them, but if I don’t borrow one when it comes up, I end up sitting without a book to read because if you suspend something then unsuspend it, you’re waiting 2+ weeks to get it. And it always says “about 2 weeks” right up until the minute it says “surprise, it’s ready” so I can’t tell if it’s worth waiting or not. If I’m the next person in line, you’d think they could predict what date the book will come back a little more accurately.
I try to do all my reading on Libby but it’s so frustrating. Any tips?

I usually take about a week per book so I’ll check out two books at once. So basically once I finish a book I’ll unsuspend my holds until another becomes available.
Maybe for you, do they towards the end of your book?
Some libraries allow you to pass when your name comes up but still keeps you at the front of the line. See if yours allows this.
