Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Marg that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.
I don’t think I’ve written up a Library Loot post since Daniel was born. I have still been going to the library, I just haven’t had time to blog about it. It has been about all I could do to get reviews written! So, instead of just sharing what I took out today, I’m also going to mention all that I have out.
Books:
So today that’s:
“The White Queen” by Philippa Gregory
“The Calligrapher’s Daughter” by Eugenia Kim
“The Secret Keeper” by Paul Harris
The older ones:
“Sweeping Up Glass” by Carolyn Wall
“Nothing But Ghosts” by Beth Kephart
“Handle With Care” by Jodi Picoult
“The Forest of Hands and Teeth” by Carrie Ryan
“The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart” by M. Glenn Taylor
I was determined to only read Picoult and Gregory’s books from the library, because I got burned by both of their last books, although I’ve heard better things about these more recent books. ”The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart” is actually by a local author. It isn’t my normal sort of book, but I’m interested to read it since he teaches at the community college in town.
I also have out the audiobooks of Harry Potter 2 and 3.
Have you gotten anything good at the library lately?
I really loved “Nothing But Ghosts.” I hope you do, too!

I’m on my library list for The Calligrapher’s Daughter after softdrink’s review of it.
And I’m glad you had some time to participate again!
Nothing But Ghosts is so good! I really want to read Calligrapher’s Daughter – can’t wait to see what you think of it.

i thought you swore off picoult last summer?
I swore off Picoult AND Gregory after their last books, but with both of them people who dislike their last books have liked their new books, and I am evidently unable to just let them go.
Looks like a lot of great reads!

Enjoy your loot.

Nothing But Ghosts was an excellent read. I wasn’t that crazy over Picoult’s latest…I hope her next one is better. Enjoy your books!

This is what is called a LOOT
You have a lot of great reading ahead of you. Beth Kephart’s and Carrie Ryan’s books are two I can recommend. I have the White Queen . . . I must get to it.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Sweeping up Glass. It’s a fabulous story and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I really need to do a LL post, too. I’ve been living at my library lately. I don’t think I’ve purchased a book in abut a month! (I have been assured that this is not a big accomplishment for “normal people”…) The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart” looks really good.

I have to go to the library today. Now that I’m back at school, my whole routine is off!
I added The Secret Keeper to my TBR list awhile ago. That sounds like a really good book.
.-= Nan´s last blog ..It’s Monday! What are you reading? (8/24) =-.
I heavily rely on the library since I haven’t been able to contact the Book Fairy to keep me in books. I just finished reading Beastly by Alex Flinn and The Soprano Sorceress by LE Modesitt Jr. I am looking forward to picking up the latest Weather Warden book by Rachel Caine.

Your loot looks great! I’m trying to read all the books I have out from the library and not get any new ones since I only have a couple of weeks left at this one, but it’s a challenge!
