Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Sharlene from Real Life Reading 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 any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries.
Things are comically busy here as May begins and I’ve barely read at all for the last couple of weeks. Between chaos at work and a whirlwind of last minute details for the school reunion I’m organizing, there hasn’t been much time to read. But there has, as you’ll see from my limited haul this week, been time to plan a trip. I have a week booked off work later this month and was planning for some quiet time locally but really longing for a bigger adventure, as long as I didn’t need to get on a plane. So instead of quietly pottering at home, I’ll be cruising off on a round trip to Alaska (Vancouver is a major point of departure for these cruises so no extra transportation needed). I’ve spent years turning my nose up at cruises so it’s time to challenge some prejudices! In comfort. With excellent scenery. Life is hard.

What did you pick up this week?
I’ll be interested to see how you like cruising, Claire. I’d quite like to try it. 😉💕📚
I’ll report back!
I’ve been on two cruises – one in Provence and one in the Mediterranean and both were great. The best part is being somewhere different every day without having to pack or schelp one’s stuff or bully one’s fellow travelers. I am sure you will have a great time – and you never know what books might have been left behind on the ship!
Abandoned books are definitely a draw! Provence sounds like a great future destination if I turn out to love cruising.
love the covers of the first two books.
