Library Loot: First Week In October

This is me really, really showing restraint! Just three new books. I think I deserve a gold star.



The Jewish Husband by Lia Levi

Note: This one is the winner of the Moravia Prize for fiction. There's just something about this one that said, read me. I don't know what it is about it that just says take me home and read me. But sometimes you've just got to listen.


The Good Humor Man by Andrew Fox

Note: This is another risk for me. Me stepping outside my comfort zone that is. "A witty tribute to Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, this surreal, futuristic narrative explores the highly topical relationships between obesity, government health care, pop culture, and body image." I may hate it. I may love it. I may give up on it before the end. But there's just something about all those cheetos.



Girl in A Blue Dress by Gaynor Arnold

Note: This is another impulse pick for me. This one is set in the Victorian era and is "loosely" (whatever that means) based on Charles Dickens' wife, Catherine. Okay, a few of you might be thinking, well, that sounds fun. But I know a few of you may be thinking that sounds fun!

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Marg 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!
