Does this happen to you?

Does this every happen to you? It seems to happen to me quite frequently. I place holds on several books and audiobooks at the public library. Months pass. Then they all arrive within a week of each other making it impossible for me to actually read/listen to all of them before their due dates. It almost seems like it is some law of physics...If you place holds on anywhere from two to ten library books, given a long enough wait, they will all arrive at once!

This is my week, after waiting for months, I got all but one of the audiobooks I've requested from the public library at once:

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black (12+ hours)
The Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer (11+ hours)
The dream thievesFangirlThe lord of OpiumThe coldest girl in Coldtown
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater (12+ hours)
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (12+ hours)

Why do they all arrive at once?

And the mountains echoed

And the one I really need is And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. I placed a hold on it in June. Now I need it for book club this coming month. I'm still in line for it, my place is 6 out of 45.

At least I'll have something else to listen to while I'm waiting!

Does this happen to you, too?
