Library Loot - May 29
>> Friday, May 29, 2009
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.
I made some progress on a better library balance this week. I try to keep what I have at home to a manageable level. I read 3 and only checked out 2 so I’m not feeling stressed by my library books right now.
New this week are:
Charity Girl by Georgette Heyer. I’ve never read any of Heyer’s books, but I keep seeing all kinds of reviews that make me want to try one. This one looked fun.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. A classic I’ve never read. I decided that I want to go the audio route on this one and when I discovered this version by Recorded Books on the library website I seriously did a little chair dance. It’s read by Barbara Rosenblat. She’s one of my very favorite audiobook readers. It’s 15 cds and I really don’t know when I’ll get around to listening to it, but I’ll get it loaded onto my ipod for when I’m ready.

No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is such a good book!
(Hopefully I can comment today)
I really enjoyed A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It will be fun to read your review. I have a Heyer book on the shelf waiting to be read. It will be my first of her. I like the cover of your book.
Kailana: I've wanted to read it for years. I'm looking forward to listening to it.
Framed: this will be my first Heyer book. I keep reading reviews that make her books sound fun, so I had to give one a try. That's the cover on the edition I got from the library. There are so many different covers of her books because they've been around so long.
I haven't read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn either; I'm 'saving' it, lol.
