Library Loot: June 15 to 21 (The No-Books-Due-to-Covid Edition)

June 15, 2022 by Claire (The Captive Reader)

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.

Nothing particularly bookish to report this week because, finally, inevitably, I have Covid. After two years of heroic efforts, I have finally been brought low by my plague-ridden parents. They are both now recovered and bouncing around in the world while I’m at home with a chest cough, fever, and several more days of isolation. It’s not fun but neither is it awful, though I can only imagine how painful more severe strains would be or the experience of an unvaccinated and unboosted person.

Unable to leave the house, I’ve been postponing library holds and focusing on my own books with their comforting familiarity. By this weekend I know I’ll be eager to get my hands on a fresh supply when I’m released back into the world but for now it’s nice to limit myself to only what is close at hand.

What did you pick up this week?

  That was a definite upside!

So sorry to hear that. I hope you recover soon. At least you’ll have a good reason to get through some of your own books! I know it can be frustrating not to leave the house for so long, though.

  We’re down to only 5 days isolation after testing (assuming symptoms improve) so it wasn’t too bad. Happy to be released back into society now!

I’m so sorry. I hope you feel better soon. I finally succumbed to Covid this week too. My whole family (4 of us) all tested positive on the same day.
