From the stacks...November edition

Captive Reader and Intrepid Reader host a weekly Library Loot event where bloggers share their library finds. Since I like to break rules, I participate not once a week and with my own button.

That being said, I always love seeing what they've taken out from the library since we all know what you get when you are in the midst of library euphoria is not always congruent with what you actually read once you get it all home.


After buying out Nordstrom at their semi-annual sale, and before meeting up with the ladies for teachers who don't teach book club, I made a pit stop at the library. I forked over Maria Edgeworth and picked up slightly lighter fair (although - to be fair - I think Edgeworth was the fluff of her day).

1. I Don't Care About Your Band - Julie Klausner
This is the one I decided to start this morning. Tales of hilarious love woe? Sounds great. She goes after men like men are supposed to go after women? Sounds like me. Sign me up.

2. Everything is Going to be Great - Rachel Shukert
I've been craving funny lately (as seen by choice #1). Funny + embarrassing + travel = fingers crossed chuckles.

3. The Funeral Makers - Cathie Pelletier
A dark comedy that takes place in rural Maine? Crazy family antics? This choice comes from a madre recommendation. I can only hope to one day read as many books as she has.

Two out of three books are nonfiction? Who am I becoming...
