Library Loot: September 4, 2010

September 4, 2010

Library Loot Event is a weekly event hosted by Marg at The Adventures of a Intrepid Reader and Claire from The Captive Reader.  This weekly event encourages bloggers to share the books they have checked out from the library. I always find many new books to add to my reserve list!

I recently purchased a Kindle, but am still going to the library weekly to supplement my reading material.  This week I almost felt guilty walking out of the library.  We found so many book we wanted to read that we had our bag overflowing.   It is a long weekend so hopefully we can a return a few things on Monday!   I love a long weekend and a very successful day at the library.  :-)

After the library we headed to Barnes and Noble and I have an even longer list of books to reserve at the library.  What a nice day!

The following book found their way home with me from our local Library:

Fictional Finds:
Non-Fictional Finds:
Tommy’s Loot:

What did you find at the library this week????  Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!!

Happy Reading!

LIBRARY LOOT: June 12, 2010

    

June 12, 2010

Library Loot Event is a weekly event hosted by Eva at A Striped Armchair and Marg at Reading Adventures.  that encourages bloggers to share the books they have checked out from the library. I always find many new books to add to my reserve list!

I have not been making time to blog in the last few months.  I miss blogging so very much.   I thought  I would share my recent Library Loot to get started blogging again.   I started a second book club, Wine, Women and Words, which I have really been enjoying.  Being in two book clubs each month does limit my ability to read what I want.  Our outdoor living room is set up so I spent alot of time outside reading.  It has been raining alot this week so that has been limited. 

I also have been looking at the Kindle, now that it is for sale at Target.  I am thinking about taking the plunge and buying on in the near future.   I have to save up some money first. 

The following book found their way home with me from our local Library:

  I have been a on bit of a kick on reading local authors.  A few of these books were checked out because they either are set in Minnesota or written by Minnesota authors.

             

 

 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Murders - Joanne Fluke (born and raised in a small rural MN town) 

 

 

Dressed to Keel - Candy Calvert - A Darcy Cavanaugh Mystery

 

 

June Bug - Jess Lourey  - Murder By Month Mystery, No 2.  (book set in Battle Lake, MN - author from Alexandria, MN)

 

 

Whiskey Heart - Rachel L Coyne - (set in Comfort Lake, MN -Author from Lindstrom, MN)

 

 

Funeral Food - Kathleen Taylor - Tory Bauer Mystery - (set in Delphi, South Dakota - author from my hometown, Redfield, SD - went to school with the author's children)
