Showcase Sunday #17

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.

Hello lovelies, is everyone ready for Christmas? I can’t believe it’s only a few days away, I can’t wait, I get to spend time with the family and then watch Dr. Who! And also catch up on my reading. I’ve tried to limit my Netgalley/Edelweiss requests, but to be honest it’s been so hard, have you seen the pretties that have gone up lately? But I supposed five e-books in two weeks isn’t too bad, that’s what I keep telling myself!

Geek Girl had some great initial ratings come in and I felt in the mood for a quirky read, so I couldn’t resist. And I requested How to Get over Your Ex after Juhina from Maji bookshelf gave it 5 stars and devoured it in one sitting.

Tempest by Julie Cross

Monument 14 had been a book I’d had my eyes on for some time so was thrilled to learn it was being published here. I fully blame Jenny @ Supernatural Snark and Bonnie @ Sweet Tidbits for my copies of Tempest and Age of Miracles. Jenny had a fab blog tour of Tempest on her blog last week, which made me realise I was missing out on so much and Age of Miracles made it to Bonnie’s top ten reads of the year. 

I honestly have the best blogging friends ever! Thank you Hilda from Catch the Lune for my copy of Deadly Hemlock, Nick from Nick's Book Blog for The Gathering Dark and my co-blogger Rachel for an Amazon gift card with which I bought What Happens Next, a book I which had been high on my wishlist. And also for sending me Jane, The Raven Boys and a signed copy of Froi of the Exiles! This will certainly give me the extra encouragement to read Finnikin now. Also for some yummy chocolates, book plates and notes!

Thank you Harper Collins, Edelweiss and Marion Croslydon! 

Hello there readers. I didn’t get too many books but I’m excited about what I did get. I’m so excited about Through the Ever Night as I loved Under the Never Sky. I WON a giveaway from Heidi @ Rainy Day Ramblings!! I hardly ever win anything, so this was quite exciting. It’s a print copy and I’m so glad because it has amazing illustrations throughout (see picture). Thank you! You can see I’m continuing on with the Kate Daniels series, and let me tell you, it’s addicting! I’m about 70% through the 3^rd audio book and it’s a challenge to not restrict myself to listening to it on my commute! Thanks to Maja and Keertana for the recommend. All I can say is: CURRAN!!! 

If you shared a book haul/Showcase Sunday, we'd love to see what you received, so please leave us a link and we'll stop by to check it out. 

We hope that everyone has a fabulous Christmas!
