Library Loot- January 21- 27



Another week and more books...what can I say other than I love the library! This week I returned a few (Innocent Traitor and Rogue) not because I didn't want to read them but because I wasn't in the mood for them right now. Well, with Rogue I figured out that the ending was left open for the next book (yep, I peeked) and decided to wait until that book is out too. Then I won't have to be mad and waiting for the 3rd book :) It makes sense in my mind..LOL! I finished Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton and I'm thinking that this was my favorite so far in this series. I picked up from the library starting from the left:

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs- I loved the first book in this series and am excited to read this one!







The Outcast by Sadie Jones- Picked this one up for the Book Awards Challenge and because I've heard good things about it so hopefully...







Ramses Volume I: The Son of Light by Christian Jacq- This is for the historical fiction challenge







Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr- YA and Book Awards challenges







There you have it..another week and some new finds. I've been seriously thinking about checking out a couple of graphic novels..we'll see. See ya next week!

  1. You got a good pile from the library there. I'm going this afternoon. That's the great thing about the library right-if you don't like the book or don't feel like reading it you can just take it back and not feel guilty because you didn't spend any money on it anyway. I hope you enjoy these ones!

  2. Dar- Isn't that the truth! I try not to keep the ones that I'm not feeling because somebody out there will want to read them and eventually I will be in the mood to go back to them. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you got from the library!

  5. Those all look good, Sam. I need to get around to reading something by Patricia Briggs. I've heard such great things about her books. I have Wicked Lovely somewhere in my TBR collection to try.

    Happy Reading!

  9. I find it hard to take a book back to the library unread, but I am starting to. The problem is I took it out becuase I really wanted to read the book!

    I liked The Outcast last year, very British, which I like.

  10. Raidergirl- I'm a mood reader so it is easier for me to take books back unread. I still plan on reading them but later on... It works pretty well for me :)

  13. I look forward to hearing what you think of Ramses--I've been wanting to read some historical fiction about Egypt.

  14. Trish- For whatever reason, historical fiction is a genre that I don't usually read. I am wanting to read more of it which is why I picked this book up. I'll definitely let you know what I think :)

  15. It looks like I am going to have to join this meme - I love going to the library - I could spend hours at our main on downtown looking through the shelves and finding gems.

    Great list of books.

  16. Kara- I'm the same way. I love browsing the shelves at the library. You should join in on the fun! The Mr. Linky is at A Striped Armchair's blog. I love to see what everybody is reading :)
