Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Alessandra 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 any time during the week-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky. And of course check out what other participants are getting from the library.
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah- I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now and finally got around to requesting it.
Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine- I read and enjoyed the 1st book in this series so I'm hoping that this one is just as good ;)
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga- This is for the Book Awards II and Orbis Terrarum Challenge.
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld- I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now so I finally took the time to request it.
That's my loot for this week. Blogger is doing funny things with my pictures and the spacing so sorry for reposting this so many times. Let me know if you've read any of these and what you thought. Happy reading :)
I really didn't go to the library this week other to pick up the books that came in for me. America and the Age of Genocide came back in so I'm back to reading that along with another book. I've gotten myself a bit overextended between review and library books so I might try going to the library less in the next couple of weeks. I am not sure if that will work but we'll see. I just have so many good books that I really want to read and not enough time in the day to get to them all. From the library this week came:

I read A Long Way Gone and thought it was great. I have The White Tiger on my iPod and Uglies on my TBR shelf.
ReplyDeleteJoy- That's great to hear. I've heard that A Long Way Gone isn't an easy read but that it is good so I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI just read Uglies and it was great

I've got to lay off the library for a bit too. I'm not getting any of them read anyhow. I'm going to focus instead on getting some review copies out of the way first.
ReplyDeleteDar- I hear ya...but I can't stop picking books up as well :)
ReplyDeleteHave yet to read any of these although three of them (except Heat Stroke which I haven't heard of) are on my to-read list. Hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteYou got some good ones! Can't wait to hear what you thought of Uglies and I have the Weather Wardens on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI read Uglies last year but I thought the second in the series was better than Uglies. Still a good read though.
ReplyDeleteOlduvai- Heat Stroke is part of Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series. I read and enjoyed the 1st one and am looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteLadytink- I'm really looking forward to reading Uglies so I will have to let you know. I recommend Ill Wind by Rachel Caine. It was a nice start to that series.
Michelle- That is interesting to hear! This series has been all over the blogsphere so I'm interested to see how I feel about it.

Naida- Thanks! They are all books that I am excited to read especially Uglies :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Loot Sam!!
ReplyDeleteI read A Long Way Gone and it is heartbreaking but I think it's such an important book for the world to read. White Tiger is another book on my TBR list. I love my library...they keep my addiction well fed!!
I really liked Uglies and felt like it was the best one of the series. I've got the Weather Warden books on my TBR list :)
ReplyDeleteStaci- My library system is great which is why I am always there. LOL! I'm addicted to finding new books that I want to check out though :P
ReplyDeleteMo- I've only read the 1st book in the Weather Warden series but I do recommend it. I'm looking forward to the 2nd one.
I've heard so many good things about The White Tiger - hope you enjoy it and all of your finds.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get to the library this week. I've got loot waiting for me! :)
Iliana- I'm hoping to avoid it as I have too many books to read already :) Doubt it will happen though!
ReplyDeleteI SO want to read White Tiger!! Can't wait to hear what you think. A Long Way Gone is a really powerful read--very eye opening.
