I figured since I get so many books from the library that I would go ahead and participate in the Library Loot meme. (I had fun creating this badge! - please do not use without permission.)
Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted alternatively by Eva and Marg 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 (at Marg's this week) any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!Without further ado here are my library finds for this week:
- My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger
- Nothing Like You by Lauren Strasnick
- Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
Wow, you really made out this week! I've got The Iron King in my pile as well, I'm looking forward to seeing what you think!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a haul for one week. The only one of these that I've read is Middlesex, a very enjoyable and sensitive story on the subject. I look forward to your thoughts on it. I love your badge by the way and would definitely use it if you were comfortable with letting those of us who do the LL meme use it as an alternative badge. Just a thought. Enjoy your loot. My LL post is now up.
ReplyDelete@Jenny - Yes I got some good stuff! I've heard good things about the Iron King so I'm looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDelete@Sandra - We're reading Middlesex for our Book Club selection for this month. I've heard it's good! Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be heading over to check out your loot. I'd be happy to let other LL meme-ers using the badge, if you all wouldn't mind giving me credit/linking to my blog. I had fun making it! I love messing around with Photoshop, so glad I have access to it at work... :D
I've added the badge to my photobucket account, here is the URL:

My Most Excellent and AMy and Roger's Epic Detour are great reads. Some of my favorites of all time, I kid you not. :P
ReplyDeleteGood haul!!
@Ames, I think I read on of nath's reviews of My Most Excellent Year and thought it sounded good! Looking forward to it even more now!
ReplyDeleteLucky! Those library finds are off the charts awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy Most Excellent Year was really cute. ^_^ My favorite character was Augie. You'll find out why when you read it.
Stolen is so compelling, and Amy and Roger's Epic Detour was like awesomesauce.
Beastly and Endless Summer are in the (endless) TBR, and I'm currently reading The Iron King, which is tres awesome as well. So -
GREAT HAUL!
@John I know!!! How am I going to get them all read before they're due?! Gah! Hopefully, I can renew some of them . . .
ReplyDeleteOk, I think My Most Excellent Year is going to be my next read!
Those look like some fantastic reads, I'm super jealous! I want to read My Most Excellent Year and Amy & Roger's Epic Detour. I can't wait to read what you think about those books!
ReplyDeleteOh and read Beastly soon, that was such a good book! The Iron King was great too.
ReplyDeleteRead Amy & Roger's Epic Detour before you read Beastly. LOL
ReplyDeleteGAH! Decisions, decisions. The only fair way to choose is obvious.....eenie meenie miney moe! No favoritism there! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, John, have you picked up Living Dead Girl yet? *humsjeopardytune*
What a great pile of loot. Hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of these on my TBR list so I'll admit to being a bit jealous of your great haul. Can't wait to read your thoughts on Birthmarked!
ReplyDeleteLove, love your badge! I have been thinking about getting a new badge for LL but have been waiting for Eva to get back on line before I did anything, given that she started the meme originally!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great haul of books! I listened to Middlesex a number of years ago now and thought that it was a phenomenal story.
Marg,
ReplyDeleteThanks! If you're interested in using it, all I ask for is credit. :D
I actually picked up the audio version of Middlesex (just didn't indicate that on my post) glad to hear the audio version was good too!
Just read Beastly last month. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're allowed to take out so many books? LOL. Definitively, definitively, definitively read My Most Excellent Year and Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. Those two are awesome books!!
ReplyDeleteUnholy Ghosts... want to buddy review it with me? :P
@nath, YESSSS! We're allowed to check out up to THIRTY books/Audio and 5 DVD's. :D I lubs my library!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving MMEY! Left you a comment on your blog, I'm down for buddy reviewing Unholy Ghosts!
