Library Loot: January 7th



This is my first time participating in Library Loot which is Hosted by Eva at A Striped Armchair and Marg at Reading Adventures.


We share what we each picked up at the library during the week.







I've read all of the books in Sue Grafton's Alphabet Series and now I have in my hands, U is for Undertow . I can't wait to read this, I really enjoy this series. It's fun, quirky, entertaining and comfort zone reading for me. I look forward to each book in the series to see what happens to Kinsey Millhone next.







I've decided to challenge myself to expand my reading genres and go beyond my comfort zone of reading this year. I picked up Uglies by Scott Westerfeld after reading many reviews and I wanted to read what is being referred to as dystopian fiction.









I picked up Heartsick by Chelsea Cain which goes along with my challenge to expand my reading genres and go beyond my comfort zone of reading this year. This is a mystery thriller and pretty creepy from what I've read and heard from friends. They all highly recommend it. I must be needing some escape reading this year but I'm going to have to read this one during the day so that I don't get nightmares!






My goal this year is to read 100 books and to read more books from my own bookshelves and from the library. My son loves to go to the library and we try to visit once a week or sometimes more and we go to several different county libraries. My plan is to post a regular library loot feature this year.

  4. You dug yourself out of the house to get to the library? I want to read The Uglies so I'm interested in your take.
    I'm going to the Tracy Chevalier book signing tonight at Joseph-Beth if you want to brave the coming snow :)

  7. I was reading about "Heartsick" the other day. Can't wait to hear what a person that doesn't normally read this kind of book thinks of it.

  9. Welcome to Library Loot!

    I have been meaning to start at A is for Alibi for so long. One day I will, but the idea of starting a series that already has 21 books in it is quite daunting. I already have a few long series on the go!

  10. Thanks for joining in Library Loot! And good for you pushing yourself into new genres; Heartsick has a good cover. I hope it doesn't freak you out too much! :)

  11. I've never read any Grafton novels. I have been very curious about Uglies too and can't wait to see what you think of it.
