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 (Monument 14 #1)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 TentCloud AtlasThis Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil WarThe Long Earth

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.

The Red Tent is so so good, I hope you love it!

The blurb for Monument 14 sure caught my attention and what a cliffhanger just from that short description!

Someone just recommended The Red Tent to me recently. I know it's been around for some time, but to have it come up twice in the last week? Must be a sign that I ought to read it as well.

Enjoy your loot!

Thanks! I've been waiting for one of them to have it on Overdrive, and finally found it.

I've heard great things about it, so am looking forward to giving it a try.

I am enjoying Cloud Atlas, but that first transition from the guy on the ship, to the composer was a real loop on audio. Thought there might have been something wrong with my transfer.

Definitely never a dull moment in Monument 14. Its a book I think my nephew would like in a few years, if I could get him to read it.
