Must save that review for another time since it is getting late, but I did want to post something so here we go, back to library looting :)
Again, missing the making them smaller thing they used to have, I do not wanna use gimp every time to get them right so they have to be big now. Clock is ticking. So here we go
Library Loot hosted by Eva and Marg
asks us to list what we brought home from
the library this week.

I could not be more excited for this book, The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness. I sure hope it is as good as book 1.
We were in the square, in the square where I’d run, holding her, carrying her, telling her to stay alive, stay alive till we got safe, till we got to Haven so I could save her - But there weren’t no safety, no safety at all, there was just him and his men…
The last one was so sad, do I want to read this if it is the same? We will see.
Her Fearful symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
As the girls become embroiled in the fraying lives of their aunt's neighbors, they also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt, who can't seem to leave her old apartment and life behind.
This was a cover thing, it looked so fun.
The Second Assistant by Clare Naylor
Elizabeth's first task is to separate the beige thumb tacks from the coloured ones on the notice board. And when Lara takes her out for her drink that night and gives her the first rule, Never to Date anyone in the Business, she thinks it'll be a doddle.
Gotta try what these are all about.
Shakespeare's landlord by Charlaine Harris
While on a late-night job in tiny Shakespeare, Ark., Lily Bard, 31, sees a furtive figure placing large plastic garbage bags in the local park and, untying one, discovers the body of her former landlord. In a quick but anonymous phone call (she is determined to avoid any questioning), she reports it to the police chief.
Yup that was my week, I also got a book for my mum cos omg, I have manage to get her reading! :D




















Her Fearful Symmetry was good! Very different from TTTW. Enjoy your loot.
ReplyDeleteI read Second Assistant ages ago. It was fun. Enjoy your loot!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good ones. I haven't read any of Harris' Shakespeare series. Enjoy the books!
ReplyDeleteNice picks, B! And yay for getting your mum reading :)
ReplyDeleteGreat loot....I look forward to your thoughts on the Patrick Ness - I looked at it at the library last week and then decided no, another time.
ReplyDeleteI've just finished Time Traveler's Wife and not sure how I feel about it - I didn't really like the writing style but I'll probably try this one too.
Happy reading!
B,
ReplyDeleteVery nice loot. I am still so very envious of your well stocked library.

Her Fearful Symmetry looks like a good read, but quite different from The Time Traveler's Wife.
ReplyDeleteLoving the covers of all of these. I loved Her Fearful Symmetry!!! Very clever book actually! Enjoy. I really need to get a loot post on but I'm too embarrassed!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good ones here! I still have to read Her Fearful Symmetry. I've had it for ages. I hope it's good!
ReplyDeleteOhh, nice library loot you have there hon! You always have such a wide variety.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well hon!!!
But even if the The Time Traveler's Wife was sad, it was a beautiful, beautiful book...
ReplyDeleteThe Shakespeare's Landlord series is okay but I like Harris's Harper Connally series much better and Sookie Stackhouse is pretty good, too.
ReplyDeletecjh
Nice to hear Nice :)
ReplyDeleteLinda,
yay good! Cos it looks fun
Thanks Carol, I will
Janna
It was a true miracle!
Cat
TTTW was strange, so we will see about this one.
But oh can I tell you the ways I love Ness, I want to start this one now.
Michelle
Well to be honest these are from two libraries, the city and the municipality one where I am from. Still all these in English, pretty awesome.
Bybee
I do think so, shoudl get started
Staci
Haha, have you been looting so much ;)
Darlene,
I do hope it is good, cos I wanna like it
Cecile
Hi hon :)
You know me, I like all the flavors there are
Chris
But so sad, gosh I cried so much
Cj
Hm, ok you say, well gonna give them a go
It was very, very sad. I warn people that they'll need tissues clutched in their hands for the last part of the book.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise Charlaine Harris had written any other books apart from the Sookie ones.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Ask and The Answer, I hope you do too. I really need to read Her Fearful Symmetry.
I really enjoyed Her Feaful Symmertry (despite not liking a lot of the characters). Hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome loot!!!
ReplyDeleteI have had the first Patrick Ness book on my "must read" list for a while. It's The Knife of Never Letting Go, right? I'm so curious about this series. I must get to that soon.
Also, I'm SO excited to see Shakespeare's Landlord in your loot. I recently read the entire series and absolutely LOVED it. Lily is one of my all time favorite heroines. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
High five on getting your mum reading!!!! :D
Enjoy your loot!
Chris
ReplyDeleteI watched like 20 min of the movie, but then I could watch no more cos I knew if I watched it I would cry, and after the book..no more tears
Vivienne
Yes these mystery books and some other series.
Glad to hear, I wanna start it now, if I wasn't so behind on things
Christine
ReplyDeleteThe 1st Ness book just blew my mind, I hope he has kept that in this book. It is hard to surpass greatness though,and yes The Knife of never letting go.
Loved Shakespeare, yay, since the library has 3 from the series :D
It was quite the accomplishment, from never reading to wanting to read.
DC
Oh no, I can't take characters I do not like
I took out the Niffenegger recently but haven´t gotten to it yet. Hope it´s as great as the first one :)
ReplyDeleteA gimp? Obviously that doesn't mean the same over there as it does where I come from...
ReplyDelete:D
Have a great weekend, Blodeuedd.
Oh, good choices too! I still have the time travellers wife to read!
Btw I mentioned you on my Friday Finds, as promised. Thanks for that!
Sassy
:)
Ifyoucanreadthis
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so :)
Hi Sassy,
Oh no, did I use something weird?! It is a program I use.
If you do read Niffenegger be prepared to cry, that's all I am saying.
Yay, being mentioned is fun
That Harris one - sound's so good...
ReplyDeleteI like a good suspense...
Enjoy the loot hon..
E.H>
Thanks EH, I sure will :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think Her Fearful Symmetry was nearly as sad as Time Traveller's Wife. :)
ReplyDeleteNice mixture of books this week, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI exchange books with my mom too! Hope she enjoys her loot as well :)
