Showcase Sunday #6

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.

With a crazy couple of weeks (work, excitement over the Olympics and awesome author events) we didn’t get time to get a showcase Sunday post together. So again we have an awesome 3 week edition for you.

Speechless Hannah Harrington

Stormdancer Jay Kristoff

What's Left of Me Kat Zhang

Unbreak My Heart Melissa Walker

Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss, Harlequin, St. Martin's Press and HarperCollins

I’ve had a super few weeks acceptance-wise on NetGalley and Edelweiss, normally I’m rejected all over the place. Speechless, Stormdancer and What’s Left of Me were books I couldn’t wait to read, so I was over the moon when I was accepted. Unbreak My Heart has been on my wish list ever since I heard about it, with a read-athon just around the corner I thought I’d treat myself to a copy.

Rebel Heart Moira Young

Ocean of Secrets Aimee Friedman

League of Strays L.B. Schulman

13 Little Blue Envelopes Maureen Johnson

Witch Crag Kate Cann

Breathe Sarah Crossan

Hereafter Tara Hudson

Thank you Scholastic UK, Abrams ans Chronicle, Bloomsbury and Eileen Cook for the signed bookmarks.

I love receiving parcels form publishers, Scholastic UK and Abrams and Chronicle were awesome enough to send me with Witch Crag, Rebel Heart, Ocean of Secrets and League of Strays. With some truly awesome reviews of Blood Red Road already floating about, I really need to get to this series asap; now having Rebel Heart will definitely give me the encouragement to start it. Oceans of secrets is another book I’ve been waiting to get my hands on (It was previously known as Sea Change). And Breathe, seriously I couldn’t get enough of its synopsis and gorgeous cover so was quite ecstatic when I received a review copy.

Over to Rachel to see the lovelies she received.

For review:

Dearly Beloved Lia Habel

Ironskin Tina Connolly

The Dead Girls Detective Agency Suzy Cox

In Between Tara Fuller

Saving Grace J.M Hill 

Speechless Hannah Harrington

Thank you to Edelweiss, Netgalley, Tor Books, Harper Teen, J.M. Hill, Del Rey, Entangled Teen, and Harlequin Teen for providing me copies.  I’m really excited for Speechless because I loved Saving June. 

Borrowed

Cursed Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Gorgon in the Gully Melina Marchetta

My lovely friends lent me these copies!  Alexa from Collections lent her copy of Cursed to me.  I’ve been dying to get my hands on it since I saw it was by JLM.  So I could’ve kissed Alexa when she offered it to me.   Our friend Arlene from Winterhaven Books lent me The Gorgon in the Gully which is the only Melina Marchetta book out that I haven’t read.  I’m so excited to read that, because it’s about Jonah Griggs’ (from On the Jellicoe Road) little brother, Danny.

Bought

While it Lasts Abbi Glines

Crash Nicole Williams

First Comes Love Katie Kacvinsky

The Girl of Fire and Thorns Rae Carson

Junk Miles Liz Reinhardt

Slow Twitch Liz Reinhardt

The Sweet Gum Tree Katherine Allred

I bought Junk Miles and Slow Twitch of the Brenna Blixen series because I have the first one, and I was alerted on Twitter they were on sale for .99 cents a piece on Amazon.  I snatched them up because I’ve heard good things about the series.  Same thing with The Girl of Fire and Thorns, I saw it was at a bargain price on Amazon, marked down to $2.99 so I couldn’t resist!  I love the cover on First Comes Love, and after Eunice’s lovely review I couldn’t help myself!  Crash is a self-pub that’s burning its way through Goodreads with 5 star reviews.  I’m hearing it being compared to Beautiful Disaster and Perfect Chemistry, so I can’t wait to read that!  

Again we have another enormous stack of lovely books to get through. We'd love to know what goodies you received. Leave us a link and we'll check it out.
