Library Love is a recurring post in which I share each week’s bounty from the public library.

I did it again, y’all! I logged on to the online library to check out one (one!) book, and wound up on both library sites, finishing up with a total of ten (ten!). I am just hopeless. This is why I don’t go into bookstores, ever. The effects on my (extremely limited) budget would be absolutely disastrous. It is helpful that there’s a limit to the digital downloads (10 at a time per library = 20); with the actual books the limit is 150 books. Obviously I’ve never checked out that many, but it just leaves so many possibilities…. Here’s what I found this weekend:

• The People of Forever Are Not Afraid by Shani Boianijiu
• Light on Snow by Anita Shreve
• The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne
• Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
• The Sound of Broken Glass by Deborah Crombie
• Kind of Kin by Rilla Askew
• Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
• The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O’Farrel
• The Last Time I Saw You by Elizabeth Berg
• Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson

I’m so sad – this is my last Deborah Crombie novel until Febuary, 2014. I guess I’d better savor The Sound of Broken Glass…  Several years ago I read The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve. It was so awful (a la DEOTO) that I’ve shunned any and all books by her ever since. I’ve decided to give her a second chance with Light on Snow… Don’t let me down, Anita – it won’t be pretty. I still have quite a few books left from my last library trip, as well as a few ARC’s, but I think I can fit these all in – let’s keep our fingers crossed…

Did you make it to your library this week? What goodies did you discover?
