Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader 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.
Marg has the Mr Linky this week.
The J.M. Barrie Ladies’ Swimming Society by Barbara J. Zitwer – I loved Jane’s review of this back in the spring and immediately put it on my TBR list. Isn’t the cover gorgeous?
The Gentle Art of Quilt-Making by Jane Brocket – an inspirational rather than practical book about quilting is exactly what I need. Jane’s quilts are so beautiful and I am looking forward to reading the stories behind the 15 quilts featured here.
Music in the Hills and Shoulder the Sky by D.E. Stevenson – the two remaining books in the trilogy that began with Vittoria Cottage.
What did you pick up this week?
The Captive Reader 
Agreed, the cover art for the Zitwer is gorgeous! Hope it lives up to that. 🙂
I put the Zitwer book on my list too, after Jane’s review – but neither of our library systems has it yet.
I agree about The J.M. Barrie Ladies’ Swimming Society and Jane’s review of it. I want to pick it up sometime. Enjoy!
Added the Zwiter book to my check out list. Looking forward to reading it.\
Enjoy your loot!
The Zitwer is a super book, I think you will enjoy it! I loved it!
Currently reading Marcia Willett’s latest, The Sea Garden. It’s a typical Marcia novel … if you’ve not read her, then take a book at her novel The Christmas Angel on Amazon.co.uk and see my review. Apart from the story, the actual comments might well apply to this latest book by Marcia.
I have also had a little clutch of review books sent to me by the excellent publishing house Osprey/Shire. I love Shire books and have around 200 of them. Their latest offerings include such delicious titles as:
The Victorian and Edwardian Tourist
Stained Glass
The Victorian Garden
1950s American Fashion
Georgian Garden Buildings
1950s Modern British Style and Design
so do have a look at the Shire website http://www.shirebooks.co.uk and see what you can find to delight you there!
I too added the Zitwer to my list after Jane’s review but haven’t got to it yet. Enjoy your loot!
