Showcase Sunday #5

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea. The aim is to showcase our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders this week.

This week’s Showcase Sunday is such an epic edition, with so many lovelies, me and Rachel seriously don’t know which to dive into first.

So these are the pretties I received over the last few weeks.

The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder

Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett

The Jelly Bean Crisis by Jolene Stockman
The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke

Fall For You by Cecelia Gray

Immortal City by Scott Speer

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord by Sarah J. Maas

Thank you to Harlequin, Atomr blog tours, Angry Robot, NetGalley and Scholastic UK.

I was actually meant to read Probability of Miracles for my once upon a read-a-thon but I just didn’t get around to it. The reviews have been a mixed bunch; some loving it whereas others didn’t even finish it. But I’m in the mood for an achy read, so I will try to pick it up soon.

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord novella I managed to grab for free here. I absolutely loved Throne of Glass so I can’t wait to pick up all the novellas too!

Night Beach by Kirsty Eagar

Losing Lila by Sarah Alderson

Until I Die by Amy Plum

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

I Heart London by Lindsey Kelk

Thank you to Harlequin UK.

I seriously have the best book blogging friends ever. Thanks to Sam @ Realm of Fiction I was able to read Losing Lila. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; I’m just so sad at having to say bye to such a fantastic bunch of characters. Also thank you to Emily @ The Book Geek for Night Beach, I love Aussie books and Eagar’s latest book I’ve been meaning to get to for some time.

Now over to Rachel to see which lovelies she received.

Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

Beautiful Lies by Jessica Warman 

Ashen Winter by Mike Mullin

Amber House by Kelly Moore

Skinny by Donna Cooner

Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout

ZOM-B by Darren Shan

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

The Diviners by Libba Bray

Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally

Prodigy by Marie Lu

I obtained all of these ARCs but one from the ALA, held here in Anaheim, California, June 23rd. I wasn't even planning on attending the ALA, as it was the day before I left on vacation but then I heard Tahereh Mafi would be giving away an ARC of Unravel Me and Miranda Kenneally would be giving away an ARC of Stealing Parker. At that point, I knew I had to go because I've been dying for those two books for ages! I ended up with so many amazing books and on top of it met most of the authors who wrote them. It was an amazing event!  Anyhow, I am really excited about each and every book. I will be attending this event next year for sure.

I must mention that Deity is a loan from an amazing friend out here in the States, Alexa from the blog Collections. She was so sweet to share her precious copy with me!
