This meme is hosted by Marcia @ The Printed Page. It is the gathering
place for readers to share the books
that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t
count, eBooks & audio books do).After a busy week for my mailbox, I think it was relieved that it didn't have to stuff itself this week. How sad, because I don't think I would have minded!
Jenniemae & James: A Memoir in Black and White by Brooke Newman arrived from the Read it Forward program. (About a friendship between a brilliant mathematician and an uneducated, illiterate African American maid)
Library Loot is a weekly event
co-hosted by Eva @ A Striped Armchair
and Marg
@ Reading Adventures that encourages bloggers to share the books
they’ve checked out from the library.Usually I would go into the library with a list of books I want to check out, and grab them off the shelves before exiting. That's mainly because I wait till the last minute to go to the library, and then I just have to get home soon. This week though, I spent some time looking through the shelves, even though I didn't take any books other than what I went in there for. I have a feeling I'll be doing that this week as well!
- Climbing the Stairs by Padma Venkatraman: I already finished this book two days back and still can't stop gushing about it! It's one of the best YA books I've read in a long time.
- Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford: I had initially planned to read this book this weekend, but a bunch of weekend chores kept me from it.
Did you sign-up for the Glorious giveaway?
