Library Loot #14

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Alessandra and Eva 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!
Another 2 book week. Both of these are for me. Eva referenced Javatrekker in another review, but it sounded interesting. I love coffee. And I was so excited to see In Defense of Food on the shelf at the library. I will finally be able to read one of his books. I. can. not. wait!
I was able to finish 2 books this past week. First Wicked Lovely. I was intrigued by the reviews of this book during the read-a-thon. Not disappointed at all. I really enjoyed getting lost in the fairy world. It was a fun book and I look forward to completing the series. I did fill the void I felt when I finished Twilight. Other reviews of Wicked Lovely can be found at A Journey Of Books, Jenny Loves To Read, and Paperback Passion.
I also read Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist. I loved this movie so when I heard it was orginally a book, I had to read it. For me it was hard to read the book. I kept hearing Micheal Cera's voice (oddly not Kat Demings). One chapter is Nick and the next Nora. And they go back and forth like that. The writing is very stream of conciousness but the movie was too. The movie closely followed the book so I kept picturing the movie. All this book did for me was want to see the movie again and again. For more reviews, check Stop, Drop, and Read, YAnnabe, and Mixtures: Books...+.
What did you get this week?

  1. I really liked In Defense of Food (and also recommend his book The Omnivore's Dilemma) and was pleased when my daughter had to read it for her 10th grade health class. Enjoy!

  2. I enjoyed Javatrekker! I did a mini-review of it in the post "Bullet Reviews from the Internet Drought." :)
