Library Loot #25

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire fromThe Captive Readerand Linda fromSilly Little Mischiefthat encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.

** I'm pretty proud of my loot this week. Not to mention that I have actually been reading my library loot lately instead of just having it sit on my shelf and then returning it. Click on the cover of a book to find out more about it.

My Library Loot

1. One of those books I keep saying I'll read but haven't yet.

2. It's supposed to be "X-Men meets Ocean's Eleven."


3. I love this author's other series.


4. Since all of three of the books are out now I figured it's a good time to give them a try.


5. This one just sounds so different.


6. I have been meaning to read this since it came out last year.


7. This non-fiction book has received a lot of positive reviews.

  1. OF METAL AND WISHES. and omg SHADOW AND BONE. Wait until Siege and Storm - you are going to meet Nikolai and he is my number one book boyfriend ever and I AM JUST SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO MEET HIM HE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST (just remember he's mine) ;)

    And why do I feel like everyone and their mother is reading Looking for Alaska lately. Hmph. Did I miss the memo on something? This book has been out for a while right? But its John Green so understandable.

    1. You make me want to read Shadow and Bone even more!!!!!! I must meet this Nikolai.

      It's been out for quite some time. I just had someone at work tell me to read it so I figured I would give it a shot.

  3. Shadow and Bone sounds like the beginning of a series I need to read soon.
    I just stopped by to tell you I nominated you for The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award.

  4. I bought Looking for Alaska recently but haven't read it. I keep wanting to start the Shadow and Bone series but still haven't. Sigh. Too many books. Enjoy your loot!

    1. I kept meaning to start Shadow and Bone and now that all the books are out I figured it is a good time to do so. :) I hope you enjoy Looking for Alaska. Maybe we can compare notes. I heard it is good.

  5. I read 'Five Days at Memorial,' and it's not an easy book to read. A lot of people - especially vulnerable people such as the elderly and physically disabled - suffered horribly through Hurricane Katrina. It's a harrowing read, and sadly nonfictional.

    1. I figured it would be a difficult book to read. :( I also heard its good though in the sense of shinning more light on what the people really went through.

  6. I read Looking For Alaska and came out hoping my boys would never find anyone like her. But it's a powerful book. Shadow and Bone also looks interesting, and I think I'd like to read Five Days at Memorial.

    If you like Life after Life, maybe try Jo Walton's My Real Children, because I want someone to compare those for me :-)

    1. I am eager to see what I think of Looking for Alaska. I'm even more intrigued now about this girl. If I like Life after Life I will look into that book. :)

  7. Great haul! I love that you give your reasons for why you picked the books up :)

  8. Five Days at Memorial is on my list of books to read. Last time I read a nonfiction book about Hurricane Katrina, I was upset for days, so I'll just have to have a calming book to read after reading Fink's book.

    1. I will have to be in the right mindset. I'm sure it is going to be a hard one to read.

  9. Fabulous list! Got a few good recommendations, thanks!
