Library Loot: May 8 to 14
Posted in Library Loot on May 8, 2019| 10 Comments »
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.
Two weeks from now I’ll be on holiday in France. Logic tells us therefore that I have checked far too many books out from the library. Again. But logic has no place in my library visits.
Will I read all of these before I go? No. But I’ll have fun trying.
What did you pick up this week?
