Library Loot

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

Always meant to join into this, since I've been doing a lot of library check outs this year. All book covers head to the Goodreads page for the book. This week's check out is:

Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne
Your mother hollers that you’re going to miss the bus. She can see it coming down the street. You don’t stop and hug her and tell her you love her. You don’t thank her for being a good, kind, patient mother. Of course not—you launch yourself down the stairs and make a run for the corner.

Only, if it’s the last time you’ll ever see your mother, you sort of start to wish you’d stopped and did those things. Maybe even missed the bus.

But the bus was barreling down our street, so I ran.

Fourteen kids. One superstore. A million things that go wrong.


I also have a few audiobooks lingering around



The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War by Drew Gilpin Faust, and The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.
