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!
Claire has Mr Linky this week, so head over to share your loot for this week.
Here's the loot that I got this week:
Regeneration by Pat Barker - I have been meaning to read the book that starts this trilogy for a long time. It fits perfectly for the War Through the Generations challenge (which is focussing on World War I) so I hope to read it.
Shalimar by Rebecca Ryman - A couple of months ago I read and enjoyed Olivia and Jai by this author. There is a sequel to that book but it is nowhere within the library system of my state. I thought that I would therefore check out this book, which is not connected to Olivia and Jai at all, instead.
Paris to the Past: traveling through French history by train by Ina Caro - I first heard about this book on a podcast and then forgot about it. I was recently browsing in a bookstore and saw it again and so promptly checked the library catalogue to see if they had it ... and they did.
Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich - reloot
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell - I have seen quite a few rave reviews of this book, and so thought I would give it a try myself.
Midwife of the Blue Ridge by Christine Blevins - I have recently read both The Tory Widow and The Turning of Anne Merrick. This was her first book.
Great pile of books there Marg. I'm only up to #3 in the Stephanie Plum series, but have really enjoyed the first two in the series.
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered myself a copy of Attachments because of the great reviews i've come across of late.
Happy reading :-)
The early books in the Plum series are a lot of fun!
DeleteRob has 2/3 of the Regeneration trilogy, but I don't think he's read them yet.
ReplyDeleteYou know my thoughts on Explosive Eighteen... lol. When does OFTM start? Did you want to go see that?
Attachments! Yay, hope you like that one.
Bree, does he have the first book, and if so do you want to readalong with Kelly and me and do a three way conversation?
DeleteI really want to read Midwife of the Blue Ridge, and need to see if my library carries it. I hope you love all your recent additions!
ReplyDeleteZibilee, that is the only one of her books that my library does carry!
DeleteI'm interested in Regeneration and Paris To The Past. Enjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteParis does seem interesting!
DeleteI have the Regeneration trilogy in a 3-in-1 book. I can no longer remember where I found it. I have had it for ages!
ReplyDeleteAh, I don't think the library has the 3 in 1 book.
DeleteEnjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteI'm eyeing Regeneration. :D I'll be checking it out soon.
Leya, I have heard that the Regeneration trilogy is quite bleak but that's okay some times.
DeleteGreat batch of books this week! Paris to the Past is already on my wish list so I'll be excited to hear what you think of it. Enjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an interesting premise for a book so hopefully it will be good.
DeleteIt looks like you found some good reads at the library! I was just saying the other day that I need to read an Evanovich book..it has been too long since I read one! Thanks for reminding me :)
