Library Loot #9


Library Loot is a weekly event hosted by Marg @ Reading Adventures that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

Here are the books that I have checked out right now:

The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had
The Well-Educated Mind by Susan Wise Bauer-- I was wandering in the Non-Fiction section, looking for my fiance. I found him near the book about books. Having not graduated from high school (GED) I always feel like I'm either missed out on some Great Books or else when I do read a GB I'm never sure if I've really "gotten" it. This book seems like a good fix for that. It promises to help with reading comprehension of these classics (novels, plays, poetry, bios)

  2. Hey Mollie.

    I really enjoyed Outlander. A friend of mine has been after me to read it since we met (about 6 years ago). She and I have similar tastes in books and all she would really tell me was to trust her, that I would like it. I wasn't really sure what to expect once I dove in. I finished all 600+ pages in about 4 days which for me only happens when I'm really sucked in. =)

  3. Glad you liked it! I re-read Outlander a year or so ago and a lot of the stuff I loved that I thought happened in that one actually happened in the second book! That's what happens when each of her books are pushing 1000 pages! ;)

    Do you plan to read the rest of the series?
