Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Alessandra that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.
So in the last week I discovered what the maximum hold number is at my library. Evidently I can only have 35 books on hold at any one time. Since discovering this I’ve been a bit pickier about what I actually put on hold and what I simply leave in my preferred searches. Things I want sooner or that have wait lists go in my holds, everything else I remember in my searches. Even with that knowledge, I managed to take 9 things out of the library this week (and still got to this point in the week with 32 things on hold). Hopefully during the Read-athon this weekend I can knock out a number of books and get them ready to take back.
Here’s this week’s library loot:
DVD:
Fast Food Nation
Audiobook:
The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett
Books:
Expecting Adam by Martha Beck
Epitaph for Three Women by Jean Plaidy
The King’s Confidante by Jean Plaidy
The Witch’s Trinity by Erika Mailman

Super list. Can’t wait to hear what you think of Wicked Lovely.

Those should keep you busy for a while.
I saw the documentary SuperSize Me and thought it was pretty good. Very interesting but not entirely shocking. I haven’t seen Fast Food Nation yet though. Will you review it?

I didn’t know there was a DVD version of Fast Food Nation. The book was incredible! And Wicked Lovely is an AWESOME read.

You’ve got some great choices there. I think we’re allowed 25 at the library here. I just rec’d Serendipity yesterday-it has such a pretty cover.

Ti and Eva – Liking the book or “SuperSize Me” won’t necessarily mean you like “Fast Food Nation” the DVD. I should know, I liked both of those things and didn’t really like this. Instead of being more documentary as were the book and “SuperSize Me,” “Fast Food Nation” the movie takes some of the basic ideas of the book – that gross things happen in feedlots, slaughter houses, and fast food restaurants – and turned it into some sort of story with Greg Kinnear. I honestly wasn’t very impressed, maybe mostly because they turned a fact-oriented book into a narrative. Plus, I felt that the movie was trying to be somewhat like “Traffic” where a bunch of different stories all come together, but I didn’t think they came together well at all.
You got some great books! I just finished Wicked Lovely and am expecting Ink Exchange from Amazon any day now!
