Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by A striped Armchair 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-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!My trip to the library brought me 3 books, and they are looking good.
An Angel for Emily by Jude DeverauxI do prefer the historical novels but Deveraux, but I thought I would give a contemporary book a chance. And it did sound weird, a girl driving and hitting a man who says he is an angel. I guess I have to find out what the deal is.
The Indian Clerk by David Levitt
Not to sure about this one. It's about a man who gets a letter from India. The man who wrote the letter seems to be some sort of mathematical genius, but the mans colleagues at the Oxford, or was it Cambridge, doesn't agree. Better travel to India then.
The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho DaviesA Jewish Captain comes to Wales to interrogate a German prisoner. He meets a Welsh girl, full of life. Is there some sort of triangle there. Thought they hinted at that at the back. And the book does feel like a Booker nominee.
The Welsh Girl looks interesting. I'll be interested in your review.
ReplyDeleteI have read An Angel for Emily and if I remember correctly I liked it :) Just a couple of days ago I spotted it in my shelf and wondered whether I should read it again :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, I did like the feel of the book, and think it will be good, The review will tell
ReplyDeleteMaija, good to know, because i do like Deveraux, and I am hoping for a good book
The Welsh Girl sounds interesting and I really like the cover on The Indian Clerk. I don't know why but I'm drawn to dark covers.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting selection of books. I always like seeing the differnt covers books have in other countries. The Welsh Girl is incredibly different from the UK edition.
ReplyDeleteDar, I do confess that I am a sucker for covers and can pick books at random just cos of a pretty cover :D
ReplyDeleteFlerufisher, I do like seeing different covers too (not to mention the really bad ones that a country sometimes picks *coughs* Finnish harry Potter)
I haven't heard of any of these but they do sound interesting. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSamantha, thanks :) I had only heard of deveraux myself
ReplyDeleteI think The Welsh Girl sounds really interesting. I'd like to hear what you think about it if you get a chance to read it.
