Welcome to Library Loot! You certainly have a great pile of books to choose from there. I read Alexander McCall Smith quite regularly, and am currently hosting a Terry Pratchett challenge so that one caught my attention too! I love historical fiction, so the Delaney book looks good too!

Enjoy your loot!

That sounds promising, I think I´ll give this series a try when the first book is not checked out at the library. Reserving costs 1 euro per book :(

Interesting library loot! ‘Ireland – A Novel’ by Frank Delaney and ‘The Gentle Art of Domesticity’ by Jane Brocket look quite interesting! Would like to read your reviews of them sometime. Great to know that you are planning a trip to Ireland!

Depends on if they are new books or not – new books are 2 weeks and older books are 4. But New Jersey has a great reserve system – I can request a book from any of 77 libraries and it will come in for me to Hoboken in a few days. Each library has different due dates. You can renew everything from 1 to 4 times.

I don’t feel bad if I don’t read something, because of the reserve system people can pretty much get whatever they want, and it’s good for library’s circulation numbers, which they rely on to keep their funding up. :D

One of the travel rules mentioned in McCarthy’s Bar is “never pass a bar that has your name on it.” Apparently there are a lot of McCarthy’s Bars in Ireland too. ;)

Wow that’s a lot of books. How long to you get to keep them for? I always feel pressure when I have too many library books out. And then I feel bad if I don’t read them because I kept them from someone else.

I wanted to get McCarthy’s Bar for my dad. McCarthy is my maiden name and I thought he would get a kick out of it.
