Library Loot is hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader.
I've been trying to stay away from libraries for the past couple of months. During the school year, I don't get nearly as many books read, which means the due date deadline causes more stress than it's worth sometimes. (I know, I know, I could check out fewer books and that would solve the problem, but I have yet to leave a library with less than 5 books in hand. Usually twice that.) This week, I visited the library twice (although that second time was not my fault) to pick up books I had requested. And I have an excuse - reading challenges. We've got just over two months left in 2013, and I've got several reading challenges I need to finish up. Couldn't I just read books I already own? Well, yes, for most of them. But then I wouldn't get that library thrill!
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig
The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig (I've heard a lot of good things about this series, and they have colors in the titles! Two for one!)
The Lavender Garden by Lucinda Riley (Another color title, and it takes place in France.)
Sixpence House by Paul Collins (A man moves to a town in Wales known as the "Town of Books." I have a feeling I'll want to move there too after I read this book.)
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett (Rare book collecting is a crazy world.)
The Mao Case by Qiu Xiaolong (I never would have picked this book up if the author's last name didn't start with X. I finished it earlier this week, and discovered that I am woefully ignorant about Chinese history.)
Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler (Ever since I read The Great Gatsby in high school, I've been fascinated by the Fitzgeralds.)
