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.
The glorious spring has turned to winter here. There is snow everywhere and I hate every single flake of it. But, on the plus side, there are plenty of books to keep me entertained when I am not fixating on how much I hate snow.
Something Wonderful by Todd S. Purdum – A thoroughly entertaining look at the partnership of Rodgers and Hammerstein. I adore musicals so sped through this as soon as I picked it up.
A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr – A classic I’ve yet to read.
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice – I recently discovered the very wonderful Sentimental Garbage podcast, the first episode of which is devoted to this novel. My own copy is in storage so, desperate to reread it, I turned to the library.
What did you pick up this week?
The Captive Reader 
Nice haul! I picked up The Child (Kate Waters, #2) by Fiona Barton 💕📚
Enjoy!
A Month in the Country….you’re in for a treat, Claire!
I have no doubt! It’s one of those books I’ve been “saving” for years, knowing I’m going to enjoy it.
Since our library doesn’t own Penelope Fitzgerald’s The Bookshop (hoping to read before watching the movie) I picked up At Freddie’s—mildly amusing story of a formidable woman who runs a London theatre school for child actors.
I keep trying to read Fitzgerald but can never quite get on with her. But I feel like one day I will so I keep trying. Hope you’re enjoying At Freddie’s!
Just finished it and I kept thinking I was reading the script of an old Bette Davis movie.
I guess for me it’s more like ooh snow! since we never get any – although this time our hilltops did have snow twice last week!
If I could, I would send you all our snow for your enjoyment!
I like your loot very much especially the Country book.
Glad you like it! It’s a really nice mix of books this week.
