Showcase Sunday #2

Showcase Sunday is a new 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.

For review:

Pretty Amy by Lisa Burstein

What I Didn’t Say by Keary Taylor

Saving June by Hannah Harrington

Thank you to Entangled Publishing, NetGalley and Harlequin UK.

I actually have a huge smile plastered on my face this week thanks to the amazing review copies I got this week. I started Pretty Amy the other day and have been thoroughly enjoying it and don’t let the pretty cover fool you, it’s quite a funny book, but also goes a lot deeper than that. Lisa Burstein will be stopping by on May 29th to discuss her debut novel so make sure you drop by.

Saving June has been on my wish list forever. I first heard about it when it hit the shelves in Australia and have been dying to get my hands on a copy and so I can’t wait to start it. On a side note what is going on with this cover? I much prefer the U.S or Australian covers.

Bought:

In Honor by Jessi Kirby

Contemporary? Check. Road trip? Check. Swoon worthy male with a potential romance? Check.  This book has had me giddy with excitement ever since I first heard about it. Also the reviews so far have been quite positive. However this book will have to wait until I get through my galleys, but just knowing it’s there sitting on my kindle waiting for me leaves me with warm fuzzies.

Borrowed:

The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

Grimspace by Ann Aguirre

Magic Bites by ILona Andrews

I went to the library this week with the purpose that I would try and make a start on some of the books and series that have been recommended to me on multiple occasions and also to finish off the Iron Fey series. I’m hoping that the fact that these books are now a constant reminder in my room of what I’m missing out on will give me the encouragement to pick them up as soon as possible.

Won:

Preloved by Shirley Marr

I’m a huge fan of Aussie Ya, the best books I’ve come to realised are always released in Australia; you have Melina Marchetta, Laura Buzo, Kirsty Eagar, Shirley Marr and so many others. It’s also a royal pain ordering these awesome books, Fishpond does free international shipping, but sometimes you have to wait a while for your books to arrive. So I was quite lucky to win a copy of Shirley Marr’s Preloved from the lovely Jo at Wear the Old Coat.

So another great week in books for me, what goodies did you get this week?

Also my 100 follower giveaway is still open, if you haven’t yet entered; you can win a book of your choice (up to £7) from The Book Depository. You can enter here.
