Library Loot

This chance to share all the amazing library books you find is co-hosted by Linda at Silly Little Mischief and Claire at The Captive Reader.
Yesterday was Library Day!! The big libraries in my area are all 45 minutes or so away, so I just don't have time to visit them during the school year. But now it's summer, so I made the rounds yesterday. Here are my finds:

Italy-related Books

Tilt: A Skewed History of the Tower of Pisa by Nicholas Shrady (Isn't the cover fun?)
The Artist, the Philosopher, and the Warrior by Paul Strathern
The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant

Just for Fun Books (way more than I should have picked up. . .)

The Universe Versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence (I've been waiting to get my hands on this one since it came out!)
The Last Enchantments by Charles Finch (I've seen this book around the blogosphere quite a bit, and I never could decide if I wanted to add it to my TBR list. When I saw it in the library today, I decided to go for it.)
Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier (I read Ruby Red last summer. Yes, I actually waited a whole summer to read the sequel! But now I can pick up Emerald Green at the library on my next trip.)

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell (I enjoyed Fangirl, so I thought I would try another by this author.)
Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn (Just caught my attention. Sometimes those are the best finds!)
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin (So glad they had this one on the shelf!)

Wow, this would take me all summer to get through! Hope you are enjoying your summer so far! I love a great book by the pool!

I may have over-extended myself to get these all read in three weeks before they're due at the library. . . But I'll try my best! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
