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.
Big Sky by Kate Atkinson – Jackson Brodie is back! Everyone’s favourite private investigator was last seen in 2010’s Started Early, Took My Dog and while Atkinson has been busy writing solid stand alone novels since then (including the outstanding Life After Life), I’ve missed Brodie and am happy to be reunited with him.
The Spy and the Traitor by Ben MacIntyre – MacIntyre has a gift for finding amazing topics and turning out non-fiction written with the pacing of a thriller. This tale of Cold War espionage promises to be another absorbing story and the reviews have been universally glowing.
Homeland by Walter Kempowski – Recently published for the first time in English (and well translated, according to reviewers), Kempowski considers German guilt in this novel about a Cold War-era road trip into Poland (formerly East Prussia).
