Library Loot XIV

I told you this week is my own personal 'List Mania' week on The happily ever after!

Today's list is the list of books I have out from my library this week. This doesn't count the ones that I already had out from my last library visit that I haven't yet read. I have to say, there's a lot of library books floating around here lately.

Library Loot is a weekly blog event that encourages bloggers to share what books they borrowed from the library that week. To participate, simply make your Library Loot post on your blog and link it using the Mr. Linky link at Marg's blog Reading Adventures or Eva's blog A Striped Armchair. This week's link up is at Eva's.

In fiction:


High Five by Janet Evanovich

I'm moving along with the Stephanie Plum series, but I honestly don't know if I have it in me to keep going to the end, which right now is book fifteen, I think. I'm still deciding.

Gods in Alabama by Joshlyn Jackson

When I met up with fellow book blogger Hilcia a couple of weekends ago, she in the midst of rereading it and shared how much she enjoys this novel. She even recited the first line to us as it's one of her favorite first lines of a book:

My curiosity was piqued and sure enough once Hilcia posted her review of the book this week, I went to the library and checked it out.

Beastly by Alex Finn
This book comes recommended from one of my favorite book pimps, Angie of Angieville. She recently posted a trailer for the book to movie adaptation of the book, so I decided to read this one sooner than later.

Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary
My 11 year old has read most of the Ramona books over the last couple of years and after seeing the adorable trailer for the upcoming movie titled Ramona and Beezus due out in theaters this summer, we decided to borrow the book from the library and read it together. Although I think the movie will have components from all of the Ramona books, not just the one we're reading. Anyway, we're reading this book aloud every couple of nights at bedtime. We're not doing it every night because the weirdest thing happens to me when I read aloud these days. I start yawning right in the middle of sentences, at least once every page! Then I get all sleepy and can't hold my head up any longer. Maybe I need to do some breathing exercises before our next reading time.

In nonfiction:

Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies, 3rd edition, by David D. Busch
I've been using a Canon Rebel XT for the last year and a half or so and have gotten so much better at photography during that time. Partly due to my husband's photography and camera tutorials and partly due to plain old experience. Practice, experiment, practice, consult husband, practice, practice, practice! And then do some post photo processing. :D

Anyway, I saw this book in the new nonfiction section and thought it could only teach me something new. And not confuse or overwhelm me. You'd think, anyway. It does say for Dummies. ;p

The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook by John Barricelli

This cookbook is a collection of recipes from John Baricelli, the owner and baker of the SoNo Baking Company & Cafe in South Norwalk, Connecticut. The recipes range from classic muffins and cookies to unique recipes such as those little raspberry pistachio treats on the cover. Mouthwatering. Not for calorie counting cooks. It goes back asap. ;)
