Unlike previous weeks where my Library Loot was mainly Agatha Christie, this week I’ve mixed it up a bit with a random collection of whatever caught my eye on the shelf, for the most part. I say for the most part, because the first one on the list is one that has been discussed on a few book blogs that I read.
Without further adieu, here is this week’s Library Loot, an event co-sponsored by Eva from The Striped Armchair and Marg of Reading Adventures:
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
- The Camel Bookmobile by Masha Hamilton
- Adverbs by Daniel Handler, also known as Lemony Snicket
- Generation Loss by Elizabeth Hand
Still left over from earlier this month:
- The Camel Club by David Baldacci, as recommended by a friend on Facebook
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, which is the next book I’m reading as part of the Baker Street Challenge.
- Born To Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall
- Epiletic by David B.
- Shortcomings by Adrian Tomine
- Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation by Ray Bradbury and Tim Hamilton (illustrator).
- Uncorrected Proof by Louisiana Alba, author of the blog Swimanog.
- Marvellous Hairy by Mark A. Rayner, author of the blog The Skwib and an earlier book, The Amadeus Net.
- Mercury Falls by Rob Kroese, author of the blog Mattress Police and an earlier book, Antisocial Commentary: From the Secret Files of the Mattress Police.
Oh, and I do have two Agatha Christie books out for the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge in which I am participating:
- Poirot Loses A Client (aka Dumb Witness)
- Death On The Nile
This post also can be found on my main blog, an unfinished person (in an unfinished universe). If you are interested in getting a more complete picture of this unfinished person, you can subscribe to that blog, if you so choose.

I’ve been eyeing the Camel Bookmobile for awhile now!

I’ll be honest in that I had never heard of it, but was browsing in the H’s when came across both that one and the Handler book. I thought it was worth a try, and if nothing else, I thought my wife would like it.

I hate it when people post comments about something totally irrelevant to the post because there is no other place to say it (I looked for contact info, I promise!)
All I can say is woooah! Not only are you a graduate of Messiah College, where I go, you work in a field I plan on going into! So cool and thanks for dropping by my blog!

Well, it looks like that is something (contact form) on which I need to work…but that’s okay for dropping bye.
As for the field that you plan on going into, is it print journalism? If it is, I’m sure you’ve heard this, but not best place to go right now. However, if you can develop web content experience, that will help. I’m not sure how much longer newspapers as we know it are going to last. Unfortunately, I think most of the companies, from what I’ve seen, have done it to themselves. :(

I just read Masha Hamilton’s newest one and I loved it, so I am thinking about organizing some kind f reading event for another of her books. I hear Camel Bookmobile is supposed to be great as well. I loved her writing!
