The Continuing Return of Library Loot

Some old story. Even though there's a towering pile of library books by my bed I couldn't stop myself from dropping by the public library and grabbing a few more. Yes, as we all know when it comes to library books I have absolutely no self control. Fortunately, I should be able to apply most, if not all of these towards Book'd Out's 2023 Nonfiction Reader Challenge.

The Florist's Daughter by Patricia Hampl (2007) - Another library staff recommendation I refused to pass up. This memoir received glowing reviews so I'm hoping I'll enjoy it.
I Was Vermeer: The Rise and Fall of the Twentieth Century's Greatest Forger by Frank Wynne (2006) - Yet another library staff recommendation to catch my eye. With luck I'll apply this one to both Book'd Out's 2023 Nonfiction Reader Challenge and Rose City Reader's European Reading Challenge.
Goodbye, Eastern Europe: An Intimate History of a Divided Land by Jacob Mikanowski (2023) - I started reading this one the moment I got back home. It's already shaping up to be one of the best books I've read this year.
The Triumph of Christianity: How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World by Bart D. Ehrman (2018) - Feels like it's been years since I've read anything by this favorite author of mine.
