Library Loot

I returned a bunch of books at the library today, including one unread: Blonde Roots by Bernardine Evaristo.  I think I will try picking it up again some other time, but I had spied a number of lackluster responses to it and the first couple of pages weren’t grabbing me.

So, here is the new loot:

The Alibi Club by Francine Mathews – As the giant swatsika and the tiny Eiffel tower on the cover indicate, this thriller involves Nazis and is set in Paris.

The Grail Bird: Hot on the Trail of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker by Tim Gallagher – this is the true story about how a bird once thought extinct had its existence finally proven in the swamps of the Mississippi Delta.

Stone Song: A Novel of the Life of Crazy Horse by Win Blevins – While looking for this book in my library, I found out my library has a separate section for Westerns.  Anyway, Crazy Horse is the man who led the victory over General Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

Tumbling by Diane McKinney-Whetstone – I had gone to the library specifically to get the first three books of my loot and then I let browsing and serendipity lead to my fourth choice.  This is about a young African-American couple starting out their life in 1940’s Philadelphia.
