    Library Loot


    Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and me that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

    It was my intention to go to the library last night, but instead I spent my evening waiting in the doctor's surgery because my son has an infected toe. Luckily I had my book. The boy wasn't quite so fortunate who was very bored during the wait.

    Given that the library had only been open one day since the last time I went that meant that I didn't get to pick up any books this week.

    How about you? Did you pick up any books from the library this week? Leave your link in Mr Linky so we can all see what loot you got.

    Teaser Tuesday: The Sharing Knife: Passage by Lois McMaster Bujold



    Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

    • Grab your current read
    • Open to a random page
    • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
    • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
    • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


    I am all out of sync in terms of days of the week. I had forgotten it was Tuesday today until I was just about to go to bed. And then, I found a teaser, but then closed the book again. Maybe I should have done Teaser Wednesday instead.

    My teaser this week comes from The Sharing Knife: Passage, the third book in the the Sharing Knife books.

    "'Course if you ain't beguiled, it's hard to see how it is that you couldn't get away before this. Seems to me a man who just wanted to escape, and didn't care about no treasure, could've swum out in the night and set himself on a bit of wrack and floated away most anytime this past summer."
