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!
It is very close to the end of financial year here, which for me means that I am busy, busy, busy at work. It doesn't however stop me from still borrowing far more books than I can actually read from the library.
Here's my loot this week
New Loot:
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister - There have been quite a few mentions of this authors latest release around the blogs lately but my library doesn't have it yet, so I thought I would try this one out first.

I absolutely loved The School of Essential Ingredients! I hope you get a chance to read Unbroken. I've heard it's very good.
ReplyDeleteI should've known you were the reason I couldn't renew The Charm School!
ReplyDeleteHa! Really? How funny is that.
ReplyDeleteAnna, I have heard nothing but good things about Unbroken!
Kafka's Soup sounds great
ReplyDeleteYou'd love Unbroken (http://manoflabook.com/wp/?p=1178). It was one of my favorites this year.
ReplyDeleteLauren Willig (author of the Pink Carnation series) mentioned The Charm School on her blog last week and I was definitely intrigued. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved The School of Essential Ingredients, and hope that you do too! I also can't wait to get to Unbroken. Great picks there this week!
ReplyDeleteKafka's Soup sounds wonderful. I'll have to check it out. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe read Unbroken for our book group and I think everyone else absolutely loved it. I did enjoy it but wasn't my favourite read, hope you enjoy it more.
ReplyDeleteI loved Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit and how she was able to evoke the suspense and excitement of a horse race through words. I am intrigued by Unbroken - it sounds like an amazing story.
ReplyDeleteChristy, I never read Seabiscuit, but I have heard lots of good things about this one.
ReplyDeleteEllie and Man of la Book, we will see. I love reading about WWII, so the subject matter seems to be one that I will like.
Zibilee, it will be nice to discover a new author to love.
Claire, the book was mentioned at Dear Author last week too as a book with a plain heroine which sounds like a plot with a twist.
Damned Conjuror, I actually read Kafka's Soup last weekend and loved it. I will have a review up of it on Saturday if you are interested.
