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'm scheduling Showcase Sunday a bit more in advance that usual cause on Sunday I'm going to be watching and photographing my nephews on one of the mountain bike competitions!
I got a pair books in the mail, YAY! Two beautiful hardcovers from The Book Depository, one of them quite awaited since it's this month's book for Read Discuss Repeat Virtual Book Club! I got a pair of preorders and also something that totally made me squeal! A Julie Kagawa dragon! In case you don't know it, Julie Kagawa not only writes totally amazing books, but she also makes the most amazing clay dragons eveerrrrr! She has a shop on Etsy and she has batches for sale every so often and they sell out sooooo fast! Buuuut, last time all my clicking finger training paid off and I managed to snag one!
Dylan was actually very friendly and Mini-maug (in honour of the dragon with the best voice in the history of history) was a bit intimidated at first by Dylan's size but they're becoming best buddies fast!
Purchased (via The Book Depository)
Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
Pointe by Brandy Colbert
Purchased (via Kindle app)
Rebel by Amy Tintera
Fifty First Times, a New Adult Anthology
Scala by Christina Bauer
For Review (via NetGalley)
The other days, Trial by Fire was up as a "Read Now" on NetGalley for the first 100 ones to click, and I missed it cause I only got to hear about it on Twitter through other bloggers' tweets. I joined on the weeping for the missed opportunity and was extremely lucky to be contacted on Twitter by Mac Kids Books and be sent a widget to get the book. That was some serious book karma and totally made my day!! Thank you so very much!!
Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini
I'm still missing a pair of paperbacks from The Book Depository, that I'm hoping to finally get next week! *shakes fist at postal service*
What all did you get this week?
MacKids did the same for me <3 I was so thrilled because I've been looking forward to Trial by Fire. So glad you got a copy too! Love the tiny dragon. So adorable. I have Rebel Belle on my wish list. I keep seeing that Pointe gets great reviews but I actually don't know anything about it. I hope you enjoy and I cant' wait to read your review.
ReplyDeleteYAY! So glad you also got it, Kristen! MacKids were really awesome to us bloggers this week!
DeleteRebel Belle's review will be up by the end of the month!
Thanks Kristen!
YAY :D Such gorgeous books sweetie. <3 I hope you will love them all :) I really should read my copy of Rebel Belle soonish. Hopefully. It sounds pretty awesome ;p Happy reading. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carina! I read Rebel Belle and I think it was pretty awesome! =D
DeleteAwesome haul! So many pretties! The cover for Scala is beautiful! I'll definitely have to check out some of these books!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will, Liliana! =D
DeleteOoo, very nice, you snagged a dragon! And I hope you love Pointe! It's a great novel, in my opinion. And Trial By Fire! And I hope you get your paperbacks from TBD! They better bring them or else...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous week!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Thank you, sweetie!
DeleteI was soooo happy when I managed to snag my lil dragon!
Quite upset with the mail as of late, they're working very strangely!
I hope I'll love Pointe too, pushed book for next month probably! ;)
I hope you enjoy Rebel Belle as much as I did! And of course, I love your dragon, even if it does look like he's about to be eaten by the sheep. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky my Dylan is a herbivore! ;)
DeleteAnd yep, I did really enjoy Rebel Belle, much more than I even expected!
Pointe and Rebel Belle look amazing, I hope you enjoy them :) I didn't much like Reboot so I hope you have better luck with that series. Hope you had a great Sunday.

Thank you, Mari! Rebel Belle was a lot of fun and I really liked it!
DeleteYay! all those books sounds amazing! I missed the chance to download Trial by Fire.
ReplyDeleteI hope all your other books come soon (Amazon is missing some of mine, I know it sucks).
Great haul!
Thanks Lis! So far it's already a month since one of the books shipped and all the books shipper after it have already arrived, so bummer!
