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.
Just one more month of summer left, which means I will need to be spending a fair amount of time in my classroom getting ready for school. Which should translate into getting fewer books at the library, because I will have less time to read them. Yeah, it didn't really work out like that. . .
This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All by Marilyn Johnson (I figured this was an appropriate book to get at the library.)
Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman (I LOVED Seraphina, and I'm so excited to read the sequel!)
Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (A Newbery winner)
Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (Another Newbery winner)
Faith of My Fathers by Lynn Austin (If you are looking for amazing Biblical fiction, check out the Chronicles of the Kings series!)
The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera (Libraries in France. Couldn't pass this one up.)
How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming by Mike Brown (Written by the astronomer who discovered the "planet" beyond Pluto which caused its demotion. Seemed like a good time to read this, since we have brand new pictures of Pluto now.)
Goodnight June by Sarah Jio (Who doesn't remember reading Goodnight Moon as a kid? This is a novel about how that book may have come to be.)

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld (Wanting to read this book led me to visiting my third library of the day. Therefore, it is this book's fault that I ended up with more library books than I planned on, right?)
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (I love her YA novels, but I haven't read either of her adult novels yet. I'm excited to give this one a try.)
The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown (The Shakespeare overtones of this book intrigue me.)
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (Hope this one lives up to the hype!)
The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages (I have no idea why the Manhattan Project is so fascinating to me, but that's more or less what this book is about.)
Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong (This really isn't my typical sort of read at all, but it helps me out with three reading challenges.)
Because I Said So!: The Truth Behind the Myths, Tales, and Warnings Every Generation Passes Down to Its Kids by Ken Jennings (This was a random find that sounds amusing and informative. And I'm a Ken Jennings fan.)
