Library Loot (Week of Oct. 25th)

Yesterday, I went to two branches of my local library trying to find books that I wanted. I wasn't very easy to please yesterday. :) In order for me to finish my book journal by the end of year, I need to read on average six books a week. Given my full time employment, I usually only read two or three. My strategy that I've developed so far is to read two or three slimmer books on the weekend, and to continue to read my average sized books during the week days. I took that strategy on my library visit this week. This is how it turned out...



I Was Amelia Earhart by Jane Mendelsohn

A short book of 146 pages that seems well-written.







Rereadings edited my Anne Fadiman

I loved her collection of essays in Ex Libris. I think this one will be great as well.






The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches: A Practical (and Fun) Guide to Enjoying Life More by Spending Less by Jeff Yeager.

This one I already read. It's thought-provoking and amusing.






The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
A popular novel I've never read.

Here's an interview with the author Annie Barrows:

I love the Borders Media website! :D I can not get enough of it! From the author interviews to tours of authors favorites, it is always interesting and enjoyable.


Chasing Shakespeares by Sarah Smith

A novel that looks to be fun, while the characters delve into the mystery surrounding Shakespeare.
