Library Loot #33

Remembered the big bag.
Got lots of books for everyone.
There were no Dora books in.
And I even managed not to have too many on hold.

Happy day!

**Picture books we really liked.

Yay for the big bag! :)

The author's name for Shadowland is crazy! It makes me want to read the books just for that, but since it's a trilogy I'll wait for your review. ;)

I love being able to put holds on and just walking in and picking them up! Only problem is my hold list is often full so sometimes requires a little juggling!

Enjoy your loot!

Hi Melissa.
I'm new to Library Loot and to your blog. Nice to "meet" you.

I've read A LONG WAY FROM CHICAGO by Richard Peck and enjoyed it immensely. It tugged my heartstrings. I hope M enjoys it as well.

Enjoy your loot!

p.s. I love your blog header. :)
