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.
Bachelors Galore and To Bring You Joy by Essie Summers – after a lull, the ILL system is again feeding my great appetite for Essie Summers novels. These travelled over 1,100 kilometers to make it to me!
The Queen of Everything by Deb Caletti – I first heard about Caletti earlier this year, thanks to Nancy Pearl’s Book Crush, and am enjoying sampling her work.
Dedicated by Pete Davis – this came out last spring but I saw it mentioned recently and was intrigued. Davis makes a case for why it is more rewarding and fulfilling to commit to things (and people) rather than keep your options open. Perhaps a case of preaching to the choir, but that’s always satisfying.
Dark, Salt, Clear by Lamorna Ash – I’ve borrowed this look at life in a Cornish fishing village before (back in 2020 when it was released to widespread praise) but didn’t manage to read it. Hoping to remedy that this time!
The No-Show by Beth O’Leary – O’Leary is a bit hit-or-miss for me but I thought I’d try her newest release.
What did you pick up this week?
The Captive Reader 
Bachelors Galore… What an unbashedly delightful title. It fair boggles the mind.
Ah, the promised land of New Zealand in the 1950s, full of handsome, rugged, rich bachelors in beautiful wide open spaces! The plot turns around a young English woman, about to emigrate, making a joke about a recent article advertising all these bachelors and being heard by a New Zealander, who take offense and doesn’t see the joke. Of course they find themselves thrown together both on the boat to New Zealand and once there, and it’s all delightful fluff.
Ooh Dark,Salt, Clear looks really good… Also I love the Bachelors Galore title too.
