Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Linda from Silly Little Mischief 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.
Just the linky for now. Hopefully I’ll have time to post my own loot later this week. Until then, let’s hear what you picked up!
Clara and Mr. Tiffany came home with me this week.
The House on the Cliff by D E Stevenson,
The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
Treason’s Daughter by Antonia Senior
and from the library, Women of the World by Helen McCarthy
(trying again. WordPress has declared war on my comments)
The War Diary of Clare Gass, 1915-1918. Gass was a nurse in France with a Canadian medical unit. She served most of the war in a field hospital behind the lines, and also some months in a casualty clearing station right near the front. Her diary makes compelling reading, though often rather detached, I felt. Except for the entries in April 1917 when both her cousin (perhaps lover?) and brother were killed at Vimy.
I did not get new loot, but finally knocked off Barchester Towers from last time.
I got the latest Elizabeth Moon book — perfect for a vacation read.
