Showcase Sunday #22!!


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 approved for a few very cool books on NetGalley and to my big surprise, I have been approved for another book on Edelweiss by Penguin!! I really wasn't expecting that! It also made me feel better until I got denied for all the Harper Teen titles I had requested, bummer!


Purchased (via Kindle app)

Tempest I got after reading the reviews for the entire series on Giselle's XpressoReads, The Mist on Bronte Moor was free this week (thanks Ula!) and had been on the TBR for a while and The Darkness of Light I discovered via Jamie Grey's blog and I'm a sucker for everything Irish!



Tempest by Julie Cross






The Darkness of Light by Tammy Farrell


For Review (via NetGalley)



Lockstep by Karl Schroeder



The Forever Watch by David Ramirez


For Review (via Edelweiss)



The Immortal Crown by Richelle Mead


What all did you guys get this week? Any unexpected awesomeness in the mail?

    1. I will let you know how it is! I'm a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, so I'm quite curious to see how The Mist of Bronte Moor will go, as soon as I make some space with it, I'll read it and let you know!

  2. I need to read some more Richelle Mead. I've only read Gameboard of the Gods which I loved but she seems to have so much out there.

    1. I think having a full trilogy to read back to back is a very cool way to read something! No long waits with cliffhangers or anything!
