Library Loot: May 18 to 24



Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader 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!

Yay! Time for Library Loot again! After last week's monster haul of library books, this week I borrowed a more reasonable number of items, and none of them are reloot!

Here's my loot for this week:



One of our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde - love, love, love the Thursday Next books, and this is the newest one!



Awakened by PC Cast and Kristen Cast - next book in the House of Night series.



The Art of the Engine Driver by Steven Carroll - this is the first in a trilogy set in Melbourne. I have been meaning to read it for a while, but was reminded when I was reading Tony's reviews of the last couple of books in the trilogy last week.




White Time by Margo Lanagan - Having read and loved Yellowcake recently, I am not working my way through Margo Lanagan's short story backlist!

What loot did you get this week? Share your link by add it to Mr Linky below:

  7. I've been meaning to read the 2nd book in Fforde's series for some time now. I read Shades of Grey by him last year and really enjoyed it. Enjoy all of your loot!

  15. ps. I hope it's okay that mine are all kid's books. I have a kindle, so unfotunately, I can't check my reads out from the library anymore. Maybe I'll include my kindle downloads next time?
