It's been a few weeks since I subjected you all to my library loot. I had a hold expiring today so I HAD to go, and since I couldn't check out the hold without turning in my one late book, I had to do that too. The reason it was late? My boys ripped the cover off and I didn't want to admit I needed to pay for a book. Fortunately, the librarian took one look at it and said that she thought it was likely on it's last legs anyway and I did not have to replace it. Whew.
So, what did I get?
Pretty In Ink: A Tattoo Shop Mystery by Karen E Olson (the hold book. I have one week to read it!)
Dearly Devoted Dexter (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) by Jeff Lindsay (mostly for Mike)
Garden Spells (Bantam Discovery) by Sarah Addison Allen (yes, again. Might read it this time!)
Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell
Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois
The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen (yes, I've read this. I want to read it again.)
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (yes, again again. would like to read it this time.)
These on top of the others that I still have out:
The Anti 9-to-5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube by Michelle Goodman (EXCELLENT, will review this when I'm done!)
The Handmade Marketplace: How to Sell Your Crafts Locally, Globally, and On-Line by Kari Chapin (might be a tad burnt out on how to sell handmade books)
Lead Me On (Hqn) by Victorian Dahl
Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms by Ethan Gilsdorf
NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman (I think I'll like this one, once I get into it.)
The Girl's Guide to Starting Your Own Business : Candid Advice, Frank Talk, and True Stories for the Successful Entrepreneur by Caitlin Friedman and Kimberly Yorio
Whew. Seems like a lot, doesn't it? I won't likely get them all read. I tend to grab up books without really looking at them. It's free, why not?
What's new on your library shelf this week?

Once you start The Hunger Games, you'll be able to finish it in just a few hours. Even with the kids around!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of loot. I really want to read one of Sarah Addison Allen's books, so I say start with Garden Spells.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kathy, because I've read all of Allen's books. They're quirky, feel-good stories, and I love them for that reason.
ReplyDeleteLooks like good books! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that I'm not the only one who has to check library books out multiple times in order to find time to read them. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteYou are bound and determined to read The Hunger Games, aren't you?! Everyone does seem to love it.
ReplyDeleteI love a book that is hard to put down, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYay for Garden Spells and The Hunger Games and for rereading Sarah Dessen :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLove some of your library loot. I have one of the healthy bread books and love it. Mine is all messy from my doughy fingers. Love the pregnancy shot. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave been meaning to comment on this for a long time. Read Hunger Games already! It's a pretty quick read and I think you'll like it. If in six months this comes back around on your Library Loot I'm not sure we can continue being friends. :P (says with must rib poking).
