Showcase Sunday #17!!


Showcase Sunday is a weekly feature hosted by Vicky of Books, Biscuits, and Tea where all book lovers can share with others what bookish goodness we got this week, be it purchased (physical or eBook), won, gifted or for review!

This week I got some books for my Kindle app, I got thoroughly disappointed with The Book Depository and Royal Mail when my preordered harcover of These Broken Stars failed to arrive in the mail on release week but it all got better in the end when I got my ARC of The Star Thief!


Purchased (via Kindle app)



Witch Rising (Witch Song 2.5) by Amber Argyle



One & Only by Viv Daniels



The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes


For Review (via the author)



The Star Thief by Jamie Grey! A New Adult Science Fiction that doesn't have a cover yet but I'm so excited to start reading it now!

Nothing approved on NetGalley or Edelweiss this week, I got another two refusals from Harper Collins on Edelweiss, I guess it must be my non-US-ness!

What all did you guys get this week?

  1. Aw, such a bummer about the Harper refusal. I bet it is the international aspect. :-( I am very eager to see what you think of The Naturals! Great haul and happy reading!

      Thank you Kristen!

  2. Boo :( I hope you have better luck with Harper Collins on Edelweiss eventually. I manage they must get A LOT of requests for their titles. Yay for all the new books though! I hope you enjoy them all. And I hope your copy of These Broken Stars arrives soon. I really liked that book overall. :)

  5. I hate to hear about the mail problems! That is so incredibly frustrating. Especially when it's a book like TBS!

    I've heard great things about The Naturals, but I have not had a chance to read it yet. Hope you enjoy!

  6. I bought The NAturals on audio and I'm about halway through. I have to admit the love triangle is ruining things quite a bit, but the rest is very entertaining.
    Happy reading.

    1. Ugh, not happy about the love triangle thing at all! Hopefully it won't ruin the rest of the book for you or me!

  7. Ooo, I really liked ONE & ONLY, I hope you do, too! A definite standout among NA novels for sure. Fingers crossed that THESE BROKEN STARS arrives for you soon, it is so, so good. :) Happy reading!
