Library Loot - June 15

Library Loot is a weekly event hosted by Eva from A Striped Armchair and Alessandra from Out of the Blue 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!

So, I went today, the 15th, and got a couple books. Here they are!








From the top left to the bottom right:

  • 3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows by Ann Brashares

I got this one because I loved the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, and I have high expectations for this book to be somewhat close to as good as the series.

  • The Glass Maker's Daughter by V. Briceland

I had to get this, especially after reading the summary and looking at the cover. Hahah, yes, I judge books by their covers. And sometimes, I don't get books if the font is too typewriter-like or if the pages are too yellow. Yes, I'm VERY judgmental.

  • Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston

I read an awesome review (ugh I forgot where it was from -_-) of this book and so I automatically put the title on the list of books I was going to get from the library. Looks really good and the cover art is really interesting.

  • The Hollow Kingdom by Clare B. Dunkle

I saw it on a lot of people's lists, and I remember my friend, who used to have a blog (if anyone remembers her, her name was Jess and she had blogs called The Word Shaker, and some that I forgot. Yeah, I'm such a bad friend lol) and she reviewed the Hollow Kingdom series. Btw, is she still on Blogger?

  • The King's Rose by Alisa M. Libby

I was browsing throught the new YA fiction (where I also found The Glass Maker's Daughter) and it looked interesting. I love the era of the Tudors(hahah I don't know what to call it) and the cover reminded me of Twilight.

I would've gotten more, but I forgot my library card and had to use my dad's ): And I was looking for Princess of the Midnight Ball and Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow but it wasn't there. Online, it said it was in "Youth Area" but when I looked, there were only books from Jean Craighead George. I guess I'll have to wait until next Monday.
