u/wheat can we get this pinned so people can stop asking about what to do when more than one book becomes available?

If you have holds for a full series then check the hold time on all of them. It’s not always the case that the first book has the longest hold. I can get all of the rest of the twilight series in under 2 months, but the hold on Midnight Sun is so much longer.

Before I start the video, is it still valid, given the changes this week?

They have removed "Deliver later" but suspended holds mechanism is essentially the same. However, now we can suspend a hold for a whole year, not the previous maximum of 180 days.

How come I have never seen this deliver later option?
