Showcase Sunday #29!


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 is gonna have the haul for two weeks combined since last week it was a small one, and this week I even got a surprise approval on NetGalley, so YAY for that!


Purchased (via The Book Depository)



YAY! I got my paperback copy of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (I needed to get the bonus content inside!) and my very much awaited hardback of Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor!! Both me and Dylan were super happy about them!


Purchased (via Kindle app)



Salvage by Alexandra Duncan



Daughter of Chaos by Jen McConnel



Mitosis by Brandon Sanderson



Don't Look Back by Jennifer L Armentrout



Summer On The Short Bus by Bethany Crandell



Indexing by Seanan McGuire



Red At Night by Katie McGarry


Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong



For Review (via NetGalley)



Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl


I was so surprised when checking NetGalley and saw this one and when I clicked on requesting it, I was approved instantly! Then I checked my e-mail and saw that it was auto-approved for the first 500 members to request it! That was quite good luck on my part!


Whew! I think I had more books that I had originally expected! I need to keep on doing it weekly or the hauls end up getting long to write and link!

What all did you get this week?

  1. Although Fangirl wasn't my cup of tea, I adore the cover and am tempted to buy it just for that reason. xD

  2. Loads of good books! I have Fangirl on my shelf and I'm so excited to read it! Really hope it lives up to expectations :) Ahh I didn't know Dangerous Creatures was available on Netgallery already! I just received Beautiful Creatures to review so I can get a start on the series :)

    Happy reading!!

    1. I absolutely adored Fangirl! It's a great book and I do hope you'll love it Laura!
      I'll be awaiting your review of Beautiful Creatures, since I haven't read the series and I've decided not to try and catch up and just start the spin-off series! It worked well enough when I did that with the Call of the Forgotten spin off of The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa! I can always read the series if I love it while waiting for the next book to come out!

    1. I had no idea you didn't get Red At Night on Amazon UK! I'm never sure what I can get or not with Amazon ES since they sometimes have things as Amazon US and others as Amazon UK!
      I was so surprised when I grabbed Dangerous Creatures, I cannot wait to read it!

  5. I have the same Fangirl edition, it's so cute and pretty and I can't wait to read it. I read the first chapter when I bought it and it seems so good. :) Also, I haven't seen this Sea of Shadows cover around, mostly saw the darker one, but this one is lovely. It's the one I know it would look great on my shelves. Great Haul this week. Enjoy :)

  14. I loved Salvage and Fangirl and Don't Look Back and Sea of Shadows! I have Red At Night but I have not read it yet. Dreams of Gods and Monsters - here we go. Breaking hearts, one page at a time O_O

    Thanks for visiting my blog, Pili!

    1. Yeah, DoGaM is killing my poor already wrecked heart... I keep on needing to take breaks!
      I cannot wait to read Salvage, Don't Look Back and Sea of Shadows myself! I need more days off and more reading time!

  15. Ahhh, Fangirl! I've just finished her latest book (Landline) and absolutely loved it, so I'll need to read her YA books too, now that I finally understand what the hype is about. CAN'T. WAIT.

    Happy reading!

    1. I so want to read both Landline and Attachments, since I adored both Fangirl and Eleanor & Park!
