Library Loot December 7-13

badge-4

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire fromThe 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!

images6Too many books to read so this week I went with some more DVD’s.

Jam & Jerusalem

The first, which I can heartily recommend was the Third and sadly, final series of the BBC Comedy drama – Jam & Jerusalem or Clatterford as its known in the US. 

Living in a small rural town(or just outside of it) I find that it’s spot on in regards to small town politics and peculiarity.  Well worth getting the whole series.  It stars Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders.

Call Me Claus

clausRhymes with bores me to tears.  This Christmas comedy drama was so woeful that we turned it off after 20 minutes.  Not even the comic skill of Whoopi Goldberg nor the gravitas of Nigel Hawthorne could get this one over the line.  Going to the library has the added benefit of not having to pay for dud films.

So what did you loot this week?

In my opinion there are very few good Christmas movies around. A lot of them are absolutely terrible.

Yes this one even more so :)
Nigel Hawthorne and Whoopi Goldberg in the same movie? That's quite a disturbing thought!

To be fair it wasn't that there performances were terrible, more that the direction and editing was flat
Sean, you asked on my Library Loot post, "Like the artwork on Zen Shorts. Is it illustrated in the same style inside?"

Yes, it's a picture book and the artist is Jon J Muth. I went to the library today (Thursday) and got a whole bunch of books by Muth, read them, and got a post up this evening about his artwork, just for you (and me, because I'm enjoying his artwork).

Thanks Bonnie, heading that way now
The library (and now Netflix) has saved me so much money from buying films that I did not like.

I posted my loot here.
