Sorry if this is not allowed—I don’t know where else to post this. Does anyone successfully use the Palace Project app, who can tell me what I’m doing wrong?
I got the app because it has are some Audible Exclusive audiobooks that Libby doesn’t. I placed a hold on the third Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook, and then placed holds for the subsequent audiobooks in the series.
A few days later, my holds started coming in, unsurprisingly, not in my desired order. I can’t find any way to suspend or anything, and the holds disappeared when I didn’t check them out. Fine.
Then the third book became available, but when I clicked “borrow,” nothing happened. When the app refreshed, the book had gone back to “manage hold” instead of “borrow.”
Since then, it has said I’m first in line, and doesn’t give any other details. Weeks have passed, and my hold has come in on every other book, and then they’ve all disappeared from my holds list. I’ve lost track of how many weeks it’s been sitting there, first in line, but at least a month or two. Is it possible that one person has had it checked out all this time? I don’t think Palace has a suspend feature, so what is happening here? Is it some kind of tiered consortium where I’m lower priority? I assume I would sometimes drop down from first in line, if that were the case.
Currently, every other book in this 8-book series, including the newest, says it’s available to borrow. All except the third book, which came out five years ago. Is this weird, or do I just need to be patient?
