Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva (A Striped Armchair) and Marg (Reading Adventures) to encourage book bloggers to share the books they've checked out from the library. If you'd like to participate, simply link your post using Mr. Linky any time during the week. Eva is hosting this week. It's a great way to share books!
Here's my Library Loot for the week:
- THE ONLY TRUE GENIUS IN THE FAMILY by Jennie Nash
- NO ONE YOU KNOW by Michelle Richmond
- THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY by Alexander McCall Smith
- THE NIGHT GARDENER by George Pelecanos
- STEALING WITH STYLE by Emyl Jenkins
I usually don't take out this many books at a time, but I think I ended up with good variety to choose from. I spen
t a couple hours just browsin
g and it was so enjoyable. Most of the time I'm in such a hurry that I just run in and run out, but I didn't want to do that today. I'm really looking forward to diving into these books!
What books did you borrow this week?
I enjoyed No One You Know; it's the only one of yours I've read! That last cover is really intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound good. Hope you enjoy them!

I've heard good things about No One You Know. I think it's on my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteThe Night Gardener isn't that great, Pelecanos is a bit hit and miss for me. However, Drama City and The Big Blowdown are good (haven't read the rest of the D.C. Quartet).
ReplyDeleteYou've got several in there that I want to read. I read The Night Gardener years ago and remember enjoying it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend that gave me the first four of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and my wife zoomed right through them. Now she has read all of the series, including the latest. Myself, I'm too wrapped up in reading Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly right now, and, oh, Donald E. Westlake.
ReplyDeletePelecanos: I've read a few and like the grittiness of his work, but I'm such a stickler for reading series in order. Is this one part of a series?
justareadingfool: no it isn't.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed No One You Know and The ONly True Genius-hope you do too.
ReplyDeletegreat selection!
ReplyDeleteNice Library Loot. Can't wait to see what you think of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency :-)
ReplyDeletethose look nice :)
ReplyDeleteThat jenkins one for sure
They all look great Lisa!! I just finished #1 Agency and loved it. I'm posting my review on Saturday for that one...it takes about 1/3 of the way through though before it hooks you!! Enjoy your loot!!
ReplyDeleteThe only one you've borrowed that I've heard of is the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, and I've heard it's good. I hope you like it! =)
ReplyDeleteVery nice week you had!
