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.
The Promised Land by Pierre Berton – I picked this up with plans to read it over the Canada Day long weekend but was so busy I didn’t end up getting to crack it – or any other book. But Berton’s books are always worth reading and I’m very much looking forward to this history of the mass wave of pre-WWI immigration to western Canada.
Two Steps Forward by Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist – I will pick up any book about walking – fiction or non-fiction – but this novel about two strangers walking the Camino de Santiago from France is just not catching me. I’ll give it a bit longer but don’t expect great things.
Act Like It by Lucy Parker – this caught my eye when Danielle mentioned it a few weeks ago and I had as much fun reading it as she did.

The Promised Land looks great!
Doesn’t it? Everything I’ve read by Berton has been wonderful and I’m expecting this will be too.
Maybe the Camino walk is now overdone!
Maybe. Unfortunately the issue with this book isn’t its topic but its mediocre writing. I’d happily read a hundred books about the Camino if they were well written! That said, it would be nice to read more about other walking adventures.
What a great idea Library Loot is. I’m so glad I’ve discovered this 🙂
