Library Loot

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Alessandra 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!

Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Book 1)by Charlaine Harris
"Aurora Teegarden, Lawerencton, Georgia, librarian and member of a club devoted to the study of famous crimes, has prepared what she thinks ought to be a riveting speech for the Real Murders Society . But a playful murderer steals the show with a real-life re-enactment of the case Aurora has chosen, casting one of the club members as victim."

Mystic Riverby Dennis Lehane "When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus, and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car pulled up to their street. One boy got into the car, two did not, and something terrible happened-something that ended their friendship and changed all three boys forever."

Confessions of a Pagan Nun: A Novel  by Kate Horsley "Kate Horsley's moving and subtle historical novel both embodies and confirms the enduring power of language. Cloistered in a stone cell at the monastery of Saint Brigit, a sixth-century Irish nun secretly records the memories of her Pagan youth, interrupting her assigned task of transcribing Augustine and Patrick."

Damosel: In Which the Lady of the Lake Renders a Frank and Often Startling Account of her Wondrous Life and Times by Stephanie Spinner

Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays by David Sedaris "In David Sedaris's world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz, and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; a bitter Santa abuses the elves."

 

Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank: A Slightly Tarnished Southern Belle's Words of Wisdom
by Celia Rivenbark  "Celia Rivenbark is a master at summing up the South in all its glorious excesses and contradictions. Rivenbark is an intrepid explorer and acid commentator on the land south of the Mason-Dixon line."
