I finally have a Library Loot post together! After missing one and then writing a post for one and forgetting about it, here is my post. I haven't been doing a ton of library reading, just because of a busy summer, but I still manage to have a nice little pile at all times. So here's my list:
Code Name Verity-Yes, this is on my list again. But it's first in line, once I finish just one more book.
The Elusive Pimpernel- You know the book The Scarlet Pimpernel that everybody reads? I read it a couple years back and really enjoyed it. I just recently discovered that there is a whole series of books about the Scarlet Pimpernel. I was pleased that my library has some of the books!
Evelina by Fanny Burney- This is one of those books that has floated in and out of my request list and in and out of the house, but I have a firm grip on it this time and it's not leaving until I finish it!
Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson- Shirley Jackson, the well known dark-bordering-on-horror short story writer, also wrote this very funny memoir about raising her children. The reviews on Good Reads all said that this book was fantastic. I am really looking forward to reading this!
Wretched Writing by Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras- Just a funny book, filled with examples of horrible writing. Is started it last night and sat on the couch, laughing my head off.
So that's my smallish Library Loot for the week!
You've got a great variety of books here! I'm putting Life Among the Savages on my TBR list right now. Once you start Code Name Verity you won't be able to stop, so be warned.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning! I'm saving it for Sunday afternoon, so I don't have to stop reading to do anything :)
DeleteI'll second this! Code Name Verity is amazing. Rose Under Fire is also good :)
DeleteWhat's Rose Under Fire? Dare I hope that there's a sequel?
