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.
Sharlene has the Mr Linky this week.
It’s here! After much longing and not very patient waiting, I finally have my hands on The Quest for Queen Mary, an edited collection of James Pope-Hennessy’s notes from when he was writing his career-making biography of the queen. All other books have been cast aside while I throw myself into the world of mad old gossiping royals and courtiers. (Book Depository)
What did you pick up this week?
The Captive Reader 
Well there’s something I absolutely need to read!
You absolutely do!
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Poignant and a stunner for historical detail.
Excellent. I’ve not read it but I’ve heard many good things. Glad you’re enjoying it.
I read so many biographies that a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look is irresistible. The book was a lot of fun! I hope you’ll enjoy it.
Thanks! I was so jealous when you got your hands on it before it was even released here!
A great read – I really enjoyed it.
Promising to hear!
Unlikely I’ll ever find this one but I did love the update.
Glad you enjoyed the update, Mystica.
Just one this week??
Yes, but only because there was a pile of library holds enroute that I knew were going to overwhelm me. I’ll be showing those off in my next post.
