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’m enjoying some of the non-fiction I picked up in recent weeks (Ravenna by Judith Herrin is fascinating and The Naked Don’t Fear the Water by Matthieu Aikins is proving almost impossible to put down) so clearly the library gods knew I would need some palate cleansers for after with these three lighter reads.
What did you pick up this week?
Slim pickings for me this week – I have a lot of books on hold but they haven’t come into the system yet. So all I got was Midnight at Malabar House the first in a crime series set in India by Vaseem Khan.
I’ve heard good things about that series. Enjoy!
I’m enjoying it so far
I am unfamiliar with Judith Herrin but what a great cover.
And I like Sarah Isbister, determined to make a home for her half-siblings!
They look like interesting books. I don’t read a lot of non fiction, but I do try from time to time!
Have a great weekend!

I learned about this great weekly feature through Simon’s blog. I run a monthly meme called Love Your Library that’s about celebrating library usage more broadly.
What a fun concept! I love the old titles and covers. I confess that while I love real print books, I’ve turned into more of a digital reader. I used to write my first books in longhand too, but now I actually type them most of the time. I do still own a couple of bookshelves of antique books, including original Nancy Drews and a few that my grandparents owned as kids. No doubt about it, readers love to read!
