Library Haul - Near the end of June, 2010

I haven't done a library loot post in a while, but things had been a bit slow for a while there. In the last few weeks I brought back pretty much everything I had checked out and now I am slowly building the pile back up again. It is what happens when you read blogs and ask people for book recommendations!

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees - Book Recommendation
Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World by Birute Regine - Read about on a blog, maybe?
Sima's Undergarments for Women by Ilana Stranger-Ross - Buddy Read
The Silver Door by Holly Lisle - Re-loot. Really liked book 1.
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan - New book by a great author.

Bone - Volume 7 by Jeff Smith - Next book in the series.

    Great loot! I just checked out the first six volumes of the Bone series. Summer is the perfect time to start re-reading. Yes, you should review The Dark Divine. I checked it out before but never gotten around to reading it. Yummy is a book my kids enjoyed but I didn't. It feels like a collection of dumbed-down fairy tales with non of the details.

    Happy reading!

    The Things They Carried has a permanent place on my list of top-ten favorites of all time - it's a perfect choice for a buddy read!

    Been missing you on Twitter - hope all is well in your world. :)

    Quite the admirable pile there! My library checkouts have dwindled to one. That hardly ever happens!

    Wow! Hope you get a chance to read all of them. I have the Louisa May Alcott book but haven't had a chance to start it yet.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I am so sorry, but I turned anonymous commenting off. I have had it from the very beginning, but that is how the spam is getting by my spam filter at the moment. If it is a big deal I will turn it back on and moderate all comments. I also changed moderation from older than 14 days to older than 7.
