Hold Circulation - A Call Numbers novel: Trial and Redemption Kindle Edition

by Syntell Smith (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 out of 5 stars (7)

In the book of life, the page must always be turned.


Robin Walker is at a crossroads. It’s 1994, and he’s been suspended from his part-time clerical position at the 58th Street Branch Library. His co-workers are overburdened, even with visiting clerks from other libraries.


Still mourning the loss of his grandfather, Robin also pines for Shinju, his former girlfriend and the niece of his supervisor Sonyai Yi. Meanwhile, library page Tonya Brown attempts to reconcile with her cheating boyfriend Andrew Friedman. Information assistant Angie Trueblood is given the cold shoulder by Heywood Learner, still despondent over a breakup. And former 58th Street page Janelle Simms is due to give birth and go on maternity leave, all while feuding with her parents.


But all is not lost. Over time, these co-workers have become much more than that. Joy, anger, love and pain are etched among them like ink on paper. Now they must decide whether to renew their life choices or reserve a new path. And with their due dates fast approaching, one thing becomes clear – everybody wants a happy ending.


Hold Circulation is the latest entry in the Call Numbers series. Author Syntell Smith crafts a layered and thought-provoking novel that examines the drama-filled lives of the people that are best known for keeping quiet. Underneath the surface, these fascinating characters try to break free of life’s burdens… by leaping off the page.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressive story telling.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Syntell Smith writes a dramatic tale with Hold Circulation: Trial and Redemption. This book is part of the Call Numbers series, and this is volume three. I recommend reading the books that came before this one, to get a feel for the characters, and the happenings at the library. Robin is stuck, like he's not sure which direction to go in, especially because he's suspended from his library clerk job. Things in the past, seem to keep haunting him, loss, regret, and betrayal are at the top of the list. I think that the story is not just about Robin, but it's about the employees of the library, their lives both professional and personal, and how it affects them. We learn more about Tonya, Angie, and Heywood, and there is about to be another member, a very small member, when Janelle is ready to go on maternity leave. An epically interesting cast of characters, and how life is compared to the chapters of a book, and we always hope there is at least another chapter to write. This author is a great storyteller. The reader just embarks on a superb journey. A reader can get lost in the stacks of this story. Hold Circulation: Trial and Redemption is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book, to also write a review.

    1.0 out of 5 stars This was a waste! Don’t bother with this book or this series.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024

    First off, I had to completely bypass the first chapter because of the dumb, boring basketball game. Who cares! So I tried starting this off from chapter 2, which didn’t help matters. Too many characters! I didn’t like having to keep track of everyone and their boring problems. The writing wasn’t that great and the story just did nothing for me. This was a waste! Don’t bother with this book or this series.

    I found the characters of this book to be haunting. Syntell Smith has taken his experience an created a cast of characters we would see at the local library. The just to add flavor he's added drama and excitement. We find ourselves drawn into their lives and get lost in hoping our favorites come out on top while the the ones we see as bad guys get caught. Another great book in the series by Syntell Smith.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Complex Story Where Individuals Were Made 3-dimensional by Good Character Development
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    It is difficult to properly develop so many individuals, but the author carefully gave characters strong development so that they stood out against the background. In a complex story, it is easy to become confused about motivation and purpose. The author took the care to develop believable characters who realistically presented the contrasts and conflicts in the story.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Syntell Smith does not understand what trigger warnings are
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023
    Format: Hardcover
    Syntell Smith doesn't understand the difference between finding something offensive and triggering. He doesn't understand the benefit of trigger or content warnings to readers. He has stated on twitter that if his content offends, your right to review his book is forfeit.
    Being triggered does not mean being offended. If something read or view triggers your trauma, then you experience real distress.
    The book:
    It is shallow and poorly thought out.

    The book reads like a Netflix drama. The plot is complex and there’s strong character development. Would definitely recommend.
