Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Linda from Silly Little Mischief that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.
It was time for another Library Day last week! I didn't learn anything from restraining myself last time around. . . I brought home way too many books this time. Ah, well. What else is summer for, if not to sit on the front porch and read?
Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen by Mary Norris (I am a stickler for grammar, so this book is right up my alley.)
The Maintenance of Headway by Magnus Mills (How can I resist a book with London double-decker buses on the cover?)
The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag by Alan Bradley (I read the first Flavia book earlier this summer, and I am ready and eager for more!)
Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis (Another Newbery winner)
The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman (Ditto)
The Priest: Aaron by Francine Rivers (I love the way Biblical fiction makes the Bible come to life. I thought I would try the first book in this series.)
The Library of Unrequited Love by Sophie Divry (The title and cover were irresistible.)

The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan (I've been wanting to read this book since the first time I heard about it.)
The Bookman's Tale by Charlie Lovett (Books and intrigue)
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (I don't think I've ever read a book set in Sweden, but this seems like a funny one to start with!)
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen (The premise of this book was intriguing.)
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba (This sounded like an encouraging and inspiring book.)
My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff (I honestly haven't read much by J.D. Salinger, but books about authors are always interesting.)

If you're keeping track, that's 13 books that I checked out. Yikes! It's a good thing several of them are very short. We'll see how many I can get read before the due date!
