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.
The Holiday Bookshop by Lucy Dickens – some nice light holiday reading (always a good sign when “holiday” is in the book’s title) about a woman who takes a short posting to run a bookshop at a resort in the Maldives.
Did Year Hear Mammy Died? by Séamas O’Reilly – this memoir about growing up in Northern Ireland as one of eleven children being raised by their widowed father sounds excellent.
Faking It by Jennifer Crusie – One of Crusie’s best, making it one of the best rom-coms out there. A companion to the equally wonderful Welcome to Temptation.
What did you pick up this week?
The Captive Reader 
My collection of Jenny Crusie’s books holds a special place on my shelves. Welcome to Temptation is one of my all time favourite pick-me-up reads.
It’s such a wonderful book. I ended up rereading it on the plane as I flew out to New Zealand and, as someone who hates flying, it was a great distraction because I got so into it.
