Showcase Sunday #40!!



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 has been one of the more quiet kind of weeks when it comes to books for me. I still am waiting on a ton of books from The Book Depository, that if I'm honest I have no idea where I'll put... I'm running out of space!! All I got this week were eBooks and some awesome signed swag!


Purchased (via Kindle app)



Written In Red by Anne Bishop



Outcast by C.J. Redwine



Sisters of Wind and Flame by Jennifer Ellision



For Review (via Xpresso Book Tours)



Gypsy by Trisha Leigh



Signed Swag

Massive thank you's to the very awesome & sweet Lori M Lee for sending these internationally!!




That's all for this week! Getting signed swag is fantastic and now I have my bookplate for when my preordered hardback edition of Gates arrives!


What all did you guys get this week?

  1. Hahaha! You always find places to put more books though!
    Oooh, I'm liking the sound of Written in Red. I think I'll definitely have to check it out. And I also need to grab Defiance so that I can binge read the whole trilogy! Yay for signed swag!
    Great haul, Pili! Happy reading :)

  3. That was really sweet of Lori M. Lee. I love it when authors go out of their way for fans. I got "squat" this week (as my grandmother used to say). Ha!!

      Well, think about the silver lining... no more books added to the neverending TBR list, aye? ;)

  5. Written in Red is on my wish list, I've heard good things about it! I hope you like it as much as everyone else I've come across seems too! Sisters of Wind and Flame looks really interesting, LOVE that cover! Gypsy looks mysterious, I'm curious about that one too, esp with the cemetery on the cover in the background.

    Hope you love all your reads and have a fantastic week :D

  7. Awww, how do you guys get swag?! I never get swag. Then again, I don't know where to request and how! Please teach me, Master! In any case, I AM SQUEALING FOR YOOOU BECAUSE YOU GOT WRITTEN IN REEEED. Did I make it clear I love that series? Yes, yes, and yes. I hope you love it too, Pili! Here's to hoping you love it as much as I did <3

    1. Well, all the swag I've got has been either from preordering contests or in this case because Lori had got her swag and make an offer on her blog and Twitter to send it to whoever filled up the form and I asked if she'd send international to me and she said YES!! I've got some amazing signed swag on Twitter whims like that more than once! =D
      And YES, I'm quite excited about Written In Red! Hopefully I'll read it soon!

  8. Love the Gates of Thread and Stone swag! I'm betting that the cover is going to look even better in person. I don't recognize any of the books you got this week but I hope you enjoy them :)

  11. I love the cover for Outcast! I still have to read Defiance, although it's been in my bookshelf for over a year now. AHH, and I also got Gypsy! I'm eagerly waiting for my physical copy to arrive! Awesome haul!

  12. Ooohhh swag! I LOVE swag, and that's not just any swag, it's Gates of Thread and Stone swag (which is a book that I am seriously looking forward to). I'm quite interested in Gypsy too--looks pretty good, I think ;) Happy reading!

    1. I love swag too and was beyond happy when Lori told me she was more than willing to send me some of her stunning swag to Spain!! =D

  13. Sounds like you need to either get a new bookshelf or stick to e-books. And I say this even as my own house is being overtaken by books. My father visited a couple of weeks ago, and I think he was shocked by the number of books I'd acquired since his last visit.
