Look, our Little Free Library went up in our neighborhood! I haven’t walked over to it to take a proper look but saw it the other day when I drove past it. I thought what perfect timing as it’s National Library Week. And, in order to do a bit of celebrating of libraries, I went to the library this evening to pick up some holds and do a bit of browsing. I only came out with three books but I’m excited about these. Here’s what was I got:
While the City Slept by Eli Sanders. A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter’s gripping account of one young man’s path to murder–and a wake-up call for mental health care in America. I tend not to read true crime novels but I read a review of this one and it just sounded like an important book to read.
Bright Dead Things by Ada Limón. From the publisher: A book of bravado and introspection, of 21st century feminist swagger and harrowing terror and loss, this fourth collection considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact. I’m trying to discover new poets and this collection seemed like a good one to check out.
The Shape of Desire by Sharon Shinn. I picked this one up because I thought it would be a good one for the Once Upon A Time reading challenge. It’s a fantasy novel but with some romance and mystery so I think I could really enjoy it.
I would love to start one of these books now but I have five books I’m currently reading and don’t want to add another one yet. Let me know though if you’ve read any of these and what you thought. What have you checked out from the library?
That’s a cute little library! I hope you’ll find something interesting there the next time you visit. I’ve just managed to finish my library books so maybe I’ll tackle my TBR pile next. Who knows, I may want to borrow a few more during my next visit because some books are just irresistible, especially those which you’ve been eyeing for a while!
Hope you’ve a good week! 🙂
Nice! This is the first year in a long time I haven’t done anything to celebrate National Library Week. Boo!
Such a lovely Little Free Library! One opened up a few streets down from up, bu I haven’t yet been by. Hopefully soon. The Shape of Desire sounds like it will be good, I hope you enjoy it!
Have a great week!
While the City Left is on my wishlist! I am definitely hoping that you will get to it. 🙂 So, no pressure, haha. And how wonderful that you have a little free library so close. I need to go look for where mine is.
My library books are due tomorrow! Love the LFL initiative. So this post gives me two reminders: return books to public library and donate books to a friend’s LFL. :O
Aren’t those little libraries cool? I would love to put one up but I doubt anyone in my neighborhood would appreciate it sadly….
How fun! I happened upon one of these not too far from my house and couldn’t believe we had one!
