Showcase Sunday #36!!


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!

As it would happen, I didn't do a SS  last week due to being busy baking and having a wedding on Saturday and being super tired on Sunday, and now I have quite a big haul to share with you all this week! I got a lot of awesome book mail that I had been waiting for! I didn't have any preorders coming these two weeks but I also got a few new books via my kindle app! And I also got a few ARCs, one from Edelweiss that always gives me a quick! As well as some ARCs for taking part of blog tours & blitzes.

  1. YAYYYYYYY for Rush! And The Art of Lainey! And If I Lie! And Graceling! I loved those four so so so much. You need to pick up Fire by Kristin Cashore - in my opinion, that one is even better than Graceling. Fire is my favorite book of all time :D

    Enjoy your new books, Pili! Thanks for visiting my blog!

    1. Fire I need to get, I just realized that I thought I had bought it when I bought Graceling, but it's not in my Kindle!! I need to check my Amazon account and buy it next! =D

  2. YAYYYYY FOR THE NIGHTMARE AFFAIR! I hope you love it Pili! I REALLY DO! And another yay for bookoutlet! I've been stalking the site for a while now but shipping is just so frigging expensive :/

    I spy... Torn Away!! I really hope you love Torn Away too, Pili. It's such a powerful book. It really is.

    Lovely Haul, Pili and HAPPY READING! :)

    1. I loooooved the Nightmare Affair!! I loved it so much I needed a physical copy (I had a kindle one) and I want to get Nightmare Affair in hardback too!
      I hope I can get to read Torn Away soon, I've read some really great reviews for it, and if you recommend it, I'll bump it up on the pile!
      And BookOulet shipping is expensive, but if the books are really cheap and you buy around 5-6, even with the shipping it's cheaper than TBD! (Yep, I've made my calculations after a few orders!).

    1. Thanks Melissa! Graceling was highly recommended to me and I'm quite in the mood for fantasy as of late!

  8. Ooo, so many of my favorites! I loved THE ART OF LAINEY, EONA (prepare for swooooons), and GRACELING in particular. Happy reading, my friend! You have a ton of great books to get through.

    Sorry I've been so MIA late, but we've all been insanely busy. June is crazy too, but we're trying our best to get back on track.

    1. I adoooored The Art of Lainey (I had originally bought the kindle but I needed a copy to hug!) and I'm hoping to start Eon this weekend, so having Eona nearby will be a good choice!
      I can only imagine how busy you have to be! I have been quite busy myself with work and preparations for a friend's wedding and I'm having post ready like the night before at the earliest instead of having them ready in advance as I prefer!
      Hopefully we'll both get back in track soon!
