library-loot Edited to add: I didn’t realise Alessandra already had pretty much the exact same idea. We’ve decided to co-host the event. When I mentioned the idea of “Library Loot” days, Sarah said it sounded like a good idea. Before that, I’d planned on just doing it for myself, but I figured I might as well see if there’s interest in doing it as a community meme, like Mailbox Monday. So, I made a simple little button (feel free to make a different one), armed myself with another Mr. Linky code, made my post title sound all official and decided to go for it! If you too want to share your week’s library loot, just write up a post, feel free to steal the button (it’d be extra-awesome if you linked it back to me), and then leave a direct link to your post in the Mr. Linky. While you’re there, you should go visit a couple other bloggers who have left their links. That way we can all see what we’ve gotten from the library recently! And you don’t have to write your post today-any time this week will do. If people want to participate, I’ll keep making it a group thing. And if people don’t, I’ll revel in my library loot all by myself. :p

Here’re my finds this week:
