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 was at my library for an author event tonight (with Sara Foster - potentially more about that later) so it was a last minute dash to the hold shelves to pick up the books that were waiting for me after the talk had finished. It was worth it though, because I had a couple of brand new books to pick up:
Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss - Squeee! So excited about this one!
The Woman He Loved Before by Dorothy Koomson - I haven't even read the last book despite borrowing it several times, but that doesn't mean I can't request the book that has just been released!
Sinful in Satin by Madeline Hunter - Next book in the Rarest Bloom series.
Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier - I have actually started reading this but had to return it unfinished as it was overdue. My plan is to pick it up again shortly where I left off.
Claire has the Mr Linky this week, so please be sure to go and visit and leave your link so that we can all be nosy and see what loot you got this week!
Looks like a great stack of books you have checked out. Dang it reminds me I gotta take some books back today or they will all be overdue.
ReplyDeleteI've only read Jamaica Inn of your loot, and that is a nice, dark story. Have fun with the new books!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Jamaica Inn for the longest time, and I hope that you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteDaphne du Maurier is always fun! I'm not familiar with any of the other titles but I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I haven't read any, myself but I've heard amazing things about Daphne du Maurier. Enjoy your loot!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those but they look good. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteJamaica Inn is actually my favourite of Daphne du Maurier's books (though I have to confess I've never read Rebecca).
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Jem Merlin as an impressionable 13-year-old, and love him still -- that kiss in the marketplace...*sigh*. And the way he smashes through the window to get to her.
May have to go and re-read this, now!
I am SO excited about the Patrick Rothfuss... I might save it for Once Upon a Time...
ReplyDeleteI'm just unpacking boxes of books and have come across a Dorothy Koomson - I might have to reread it!!
ReplyDeleteYou must read Jamaica Inn Marg, it is an easy and fun read!

ReplyDeleteI got sent The Wise Man's Fear for review, that's one monster of a book. After having read mostly on the Sony for the past couple of months I actually get a sore arm trying to read it.
ReplyDeleteIt is good if a little slow paced. I haven't read his first and that doesn't seem to have effected my reading of it. Would love to discuss it after you have read it.
Nice loot. Love Jamaica Inn and I must reloot the first Patrick Rothfuss as I never got to it last time.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading.
I got Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier in my library loot - now looks like I'll have to get Jamaica Inn too!
