Library Loot #1

YAY! Eva and Alessandra have come up with a weekly meme that I can totally get behind: Library Loot. And since trips to the library are a weekly thing for me, I will always have something to share.

My library pickings, at least during the school year have several elements to it: finding picture books for the younger set, finding middle grade books for C, and finding YA books for M. And then picking up whatever holds are there for me. And then there are the inevitable movies we always come home with, but I won’t list those. 🙂

For A and K:
I Love My New Toy, Mo Willems**
Today I Will Fly, Mo Willems**
Belinda Begins Ballet, Amy Young
‘Twas the Day Before Zoo Day, by Catherine Ipcizade; Illustrated by Ben Hodson
Dora’s Backpack (ugh. But they have to get one.)
Goodnight Goon: A Terrifying Parody, by Michael Rex**
Woolbur, by Leslie Helakoski; Illustrated by Lee Harper
Bear Feels Scared, by Karma Wilson; Illustrations by Jane Chapman
The Real Princess: A Mathemagical Tale, by Brenda Williams; Illustrated by Sophie Fatus

Nothing for C this week; she hasn’t finished last week’s selections yet.

For M:
13 Little Blue Envelopes, by Maureen Johnson*
The Son of Summer Stars, by Meredith Ann Pierce*
Alosha, by Christopher Pike*
Trickster’s Queen, by Tamora Pierce*
Trickster’s Choice, by Tamora Pierce

For me:
Saffy’s Angel, by Hilary McKay*
The Leanin’ Dog, by K.A. Nuzum

*Ones M eventually read.
**Picture books we really liked.

  1. Since I signed up for Ban on Spending Challenge, I will have to stay away from libraries as much as possible (only to borrow books I have to read, are not on my TBR pile and I can’t buy) since they always have sales and it’ll take all my willpower to not buy any.

  2. That’s so nice of you to get lots of books for your kids too. 🙂 I’ll have to tell my sister about Belinda Begins Ballet-my niece is going through a hard-core ballerina phase right now! lol

  3. This is a fun feature, I’m enjoying reading everyone’s entries so much. I haven’t heard of the two adult books though. Four daughters, I am from a family of five daughters, you have your hands full. lol Happy reading in 2009.
