Library Loot: January 26 to February 2


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:

  3. 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!

  4. Hi Marg.
    Happy 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!

  9. The Vreeland cover is dazzling. I would definitely have to pick it up if I'd spotted it on the shelf.

    I 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.

  11. The War On Words: how American writers censored themselves around the Civil War.

    Blew my mind.

  12. 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!!

  16. This 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.
