This picture shows just some of the books I currently have check out from the library.
I didn’t mean to have so many checked out but usually around the holidays I always decide to check out more books, as if I’m going to somehow miraculously find more time to read!
Anyway, it was hard to resist these titles and I also tried to find a bit of variety so here’s what I borrowed:
Shame in the Blood by Tetsuo Miura. Hoping to read this for the Japanese Literature Challenge.
Photobooth by Meags Fitzgerald. The author chronicles the history of the photo booth in this graphic novel.
Paid For: My Journey Through Prostitution by Rachel Moran. Have already started reading this one.
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Keep hearing great things about this book.
Lovers on All Saints’ Day by Juan Gabriel Vásquez. I didn’t read a single short story collection last year and hope to remedy that this year.
Against A Brightening Sky by Jamie Lee Moyer – Currently reading.
Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue by Victoria Thompson – Recently finished and review to come.
The Zig Zag Girl by Elly Giffiths. I love her series featuring Ruth Galloway so I’m excited to explore this new series.
Nan-core by Mahokaru Numata. Another option for the Japanese Reading Challenge
Come Hell or Highball by Maia Chance. A new mystery series set during the Roaring Twenties.
As if these weren’t already enough I also have a couple of more books on hold. I can’t wait to get them because two are books on crafting. I am thinking of a new project to take on so I can’t wait to share that with you. In the meantime, I definitely need to add some of my books to my current reads.
So what about you, have any good library books checked out? Have a wonderful weekend everyone and more book talk soon.
Big Little Lies is very good. And I want to read Zig Zag Girl soon. I’ve heard such good things and, of course, I love Elly Griffiths other series. Enjoy your books!
I’d say your pile from the library rivals my own but I think you have me beat by one or two books 🙂
I really liked Moyer’s first book–need to catch up on this series. The other titles sound interesting, too!
So many good books to read! I’d really like to read the Lianne Moriarity book. I hope you are enjoying Against a Brightening Sky.
These look great! I feel some Goodreads investigation coming on. 🙂
Haha, we readers are always very optimistic, right? I took five books to India for my month long vacation and read only one.
My library list got totally out of control right before Christmas. And then around the new year I just declared bankruptcy and returned them all 🙂 Now I’m at a “reasonable” five books that I hope to get to before the dreaded return date arrives.
I’ve got Big Little Lies on my TBR list, too. I’m eager to hear what you think of Elly Griffith’s new series. I need to get back to the other!
No library books for me. I’m trying desperately to read from my shelves for the first three months of the year. So far, so good, although I did bring two ARCs home from work this past week…
Those books look great and I especially can’t wait to hear what you’ll think of Big Little Lies as I’ve heard lots of great things about it! 🙂
Those look like some enticing books! i’m awful about overdoing it at the library! Then I rack up those fines….I can’t wait to hear how your library reading goes.
I’ve been staying away from the library in hopes I will keep reading from my own stacks as it is so tempting there and I always leave (or request!) far more books than I know I can read at one time. So it ends up being a matter of dragging books back and forth between library and house and back again! I do, however, like the sound of the Photobooth graphic novel, so must check that one out!
