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.
I’ve been spending as much time as possible outside lately. Whenever I’ve not been working, I’ve been walking in the woods by my house, strolling under the cherry trees in my neighbourhood, or working in the garden. It’s been wonderful but hasn’t left much time for reading.
Unsurprisingly, when I do sit down to read I’m feeling drawn to books about nature to match the rest of my leisure activities. There are three garden-focused books I’m keen to track down (Rootbound, The Five Minute Garden, and Where the Hornbeam Grows) and, with no library reopening in sight, have acted uncharacteristically and ordered a couple of them. Needs must!
In my massive pre-lockdown library sweep, I did manage to pick up a couple of things that suit my current mood. Here they are:
Hidden Nature by Alys Fowler (Book Depository)
The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane (Book Depository)
My Natural History by Liz Primeau (Book Depository)
What are you reading this week?
The Captive Reader 
Reading whatever I get! Right now historical fiction Royal Flush.
Is that Royal Flush by Margaret Irwin, about Minette? Or something more recent?
