To take part, simply let everyone know what you discovered on your latest trip to the Library. And don’t forget to check out what great books everyone else checked out this week for ideas for your own future library jaunts.
This fun event happens weekly, from Wednesday through to the following Tuesday, with a new round beginning the next day. So it’s easy to participate no matter what day you visit the library.
My library visit this week was a quick run in and out, I usually always browse a bit, but when I walked in I saw that I had a ton of books waiting that I had requested online. One great thing about having an online library system is that as I’m reading through blogs and reviews if I spot a book I’m interested in I just pop over to the Library website and place a hold on it.
That picture shows exactly where I sit when I get home from the library. Right down on the floor, like a little kid at Christmas time, with my bookish loot spread around me. So here is what I picked up this week, and why.
- Chasing Windmills by Catherine Ryan Hyde – because of J.Kaye’s Noontime Book Chat
- Novel About My Wife by Emily Perkins – because of Gautami’s interview style review
- Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver – I read Dewey’s review and thought it sounded amazing
- City Of Ashes by Cassandra Clare – second book in a series which I like
- Blue Is For Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz – for the Young Adult Reading Challenge
- Skinned by Robin Wasserman – another one for the Young Adult Reading Challenge
- Peculia And The Groon Grove Vampires – looks like a creepy little graphic novel
- Shuck by Daniel Allen Cox – written by a Canuck and looks weirdly fun
- Whacked by Jules Asner – I honestly have no idea (it doesn’t look like my kind of read)
