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.
I really meant to wait a few more days to get books this time. I was going to return what had to be back, then wait to pick up my holds until I HAD to do so to keep them from expiring, so I would have a little more time with them. Then I went to the library, returned my books, and got straight in the circulation line to pick up my books. DOH! I knew there was a reason I was going to go there first, before my other errands and before it opened. Oh well.
On the bright side, I did get some good books, even if I am probably going to have to return some books unread in 2 weeks…

I have Oscar Wao, I’ll be interested to see what you think if you get to that one!
Meghan’s last blog post..Review: What Would Jane Austen Do?, Laurie Brown
Sadly ‘if’ is exactly the right word. Here’s hoping!
I’ve got Oscar Wao in the queue as well. But what I really am interested in is the audio of Sedaris. It’s either going to blow you out of the water, or suck really bad!
Sandy’s last blog post..Brideshead Revisted – Evelyn Waugh (audio)
I’m not really a fan of his books, but I’m hopeful for the audio, because I always love him on This American Life.
I just finished The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao a couple of days ago for my book club. What an intense read! I’m curious to see what you think.
Nicole’s last blog post..The Little Book on Meaning, by Laura Berman Fortgang
I almost bought Aslan’s new book the other day. I really liked his previous “No God But God.” I’ll be interested to know how it is.
I’m curious to see what you think of The Seamstress. I found it kind of boring. The Sedaris book wasn’t his best, but then I don’t think anything is better than Holidays on Ice on audio.
Nari’s last blog post..Private Midnight – Review
We don’t have a library near us so it is harder to read a book if I am not going to buy it myself.
