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!
I am a few hours late putting up my Library Loot post this week as I made a last minute decision to head down to the fireworks display that was being held at my local beach. It's only the second year they have had a local display for Australia Day, but I don't think it will be the last time that I go because it wasn't too shabby!
The loot that I got this week:
Inside Out by Maria V Snyder - I got a bit over excited when I was browsing Netgalley a few weeks ago and noticed the follow up book to this book, Outside In. Only problem is that I hadn't read this one yet, so I needed to read this one asap!
Clara and Mr Tiffany by Susan Vreeland - I have thoroughly enjoyed the other Susan Vreeland books I have read, so when I saw that this new book from her had already been added to the catalogue I had to borrow it straight away.
From Notting Hill with Love ... Actually by Ali McNamara - Just the title of this one makes it sound like a fun read!
And Then He Kissed Her by Laura Lee Guhrke - After reading the two latest releases from this author, I want to go back and try some of her earlier books.
So what loot did you get this week? Share you Library Loot link in Mr Linky below:
Clara and Mr. Tiffany sounds so good, and I can't wait to hear what you think of it! Great books you've got there. I really need to visit the library more often!
ReplyDeleteI hope Clara and Mr Tiffany is as good as it looks - what a stunning cover!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your loot!
I've read one book previously by Susan Vreeland and enjoyed it. I'll be looking foward to what you have to say about Clara and Mr. Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteHi Marg.
ReplyDeleteHappy Australia Day! :D
My library is just getting Clara and Mr. Tiffany in this week. I hope it's good. I might just borrow it next time!
You're right. From Nottinghill With Love... Actually looks and sounds fun! What a darling cover! I would have grabbed it, too!
Thank you so much for this great post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly light load for you this week. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have Clara and Mr Tiffany on my library eBook wish list.
ReplyDelete...and I just borrowed Clara and Mr. Tiffany to listen to on my Ipod. It will be fun to see what everything thinks of it.
ReplyDeleteThe Vreeland cover is dazzling. I would definitely have to pick it up if I'd spotted it on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteI just checked and our library has it and in large print and audio as well as regular text but there's a tug-o-war playing out in my head over the wisdom of ordering it at this time. A glance at my post will show you why.
I have Clara and Mr Tiffany on my ebook wish list. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThe War On Words: how American writers censored themselves around the Civil War.
ReplyDeleteBlew my mind.
I love the title of From Notting Hill With Love Actually, too. It made me smile. I'm off library books, right now -- gotta finish up some ARCs and read my own books -- and yet I somehow ended up bringing home a single title: How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier (um, that spelling is a guess). We'll see if I get to it!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Poison Study by Maria Snyder so I would be interested in reading this series as well. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of Clara and Mr. Tiffany. I hope it's as good as it looks. Got mine up!
ReplyDeleteFrom Notting Hill with Love does sound like such fun - at heart I'm a sucker for those covers too - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time doing Library Loot! I had to, I have so many books out from the library now. Does Maria Snyder write historical novels? Another blogger reviewed her book and really liked it - Poison Study. I've been trying to find it for a while now. The From Notting Hill With Love....Actually looks fun, too.
