Library Loot : 5 to 11 Dec 2012


 Looks really interesting. It's short snippets of what goes on in the mind and the manics and depression of a bipolar person. I'm interested in mental health so I'm always looking for book on the topic.


Another interesting book. Bought another of his book Madness explained a-while back and it's a very good book. Borrowed this and hope that I will read it.


I loved Marian Keyes books and saw this on a blog and decided to borrow it just to admire the pictures. (Doubt I will get around to baking!)


Always a must for me to read Chrismassy books in December!



Completed this book from my school's library. Please check it out if you like reading about food and cooking as it features food from Singapore! There are a few chapters on her ancestor's food in China as well as Italian bread making. However it does get a little confusing for me as her stories about her parents and family do jump around a little... I would prefer it if her chapters were classified according to food or something. Read some reviews here

Finally my first proper loot post in a year. I have been too busy and not reading as much as I like!

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!
