What an amazing loot! The Bondwoman’s Narrative sounds extremely interesting and I really should finally read something by O’Connor! I feel Andersen’s fairy tales have always been part of my life. They were an important part of my childhood reading experience even before I could read myself. Hope you’ll enjoy them and all the other books in your loot!
I love Ombria in Shadow. May be my favorite McKillip novel.
Hi Eva and Thistle,I have been trying to remember the correct title and author for Heidi’s Alp for awhile now.I actually own this book ,but it is packed away.I look forward to reading what you think of it.
I’ve never tried Patricia McKillip, but your enthusiasm is catching and I love the cover of that one. I’ve always pidgeon-holed her as romance fantasy for some reason. I’ll be investigating my library for something by her!
a great selection Eva ,look forward to all your review ,all the best stu
I always learn about new authors and even genres from your Library Loot posts. I hope you post on “I am a Cat”. I have that on my to-read list and I had also thought it was long, but maybe I shouldn’t be so intimidated? I am reading at a snail’s pace nowadays.
This week I reserved and picked up from the library The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. It kept me up late at night reading. What an ending!

I grew up in Norwich, yay for Julian! Norwich has an amazing cathedral and there’s a Julian statue outside and we were taught (very basic) details about her at school. I’ll have to take more photos when I go back in March. :)
