Showcase Sunday #42!!


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's haul is special but for no other reason that I'm a geek and it's my haul number 42! And 42 is the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything!! Ah, I feel like I need to re-read the Hitchhiker's books again soon! I got a few books in the mail, that seems to be working way more slowly now that it's summer, oh well!



Purchased (via The Book Depository)



Where Silence Gathers by Kelsey Sutton
Starglass by Phoebe North



Purchased (via Book Outlet)



Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn
Siege & Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Linked by Imogen Howson

Well, that was quite a big week too! With books arriving in the mail almost two weeks after buying them... and I'm still awaiting my Barnes & Noble order! Hopefully next week!

  1. SO MANY NEW BOOKS!! Looks like you had a field day at The Book Depository and The Book Outlet!! I really enjoyed Linked and Siege and Storm (which you knew hehe), but not so much Where Silence Gathers, unfortunately. I also (finally) got Aguirre's NA books from NetGalley - usually I stay away from NA contemporary romance novels, but it's Ann Aguirre :D I hope you enjoy all of your new books, Pili!

    Have a fabulous week! Thanks for visiting my blog!

    1. I cannot wait to hear what you think of the Aguirre books cause I've already read them and loved them, and like you... I don't really read NA!!
      Yay for Linked (August's pick from my Alyssa list!) ;)

    1. I didn't love it as much when I read it first, but after reading Ruin & Rising, I want to re-read the whole series and I know I'll love S&S much more!

  3. Lots of books! I've seen a good amount of people getting Aguirre's NA. I hope it's good-I'll be curious to see what you think. Great haul!

    1. Thanks Alex! And yes, I did get TSWSYL on the flash sale, I was lucky enough to grab it when there were only 8 left!
      I haven't read Looking for Alaska (or any other John Green book) BUT if I like Charm & Strange I might give end up checking them out!

  5. Everytime I see those Ann Aguirre books I start singing Backstreet Boys as well!
    Starglass sounds amazing! And I bet that hardcover is beautiful! I bought Charm & Strange earlier on this year but still haven't read it. It's supposed to be amazing!
    Great haul, Pili! Happy reading :D

    1. Yep, I've just seen the covers again and singing in my head again... !!
      Starglass' cover for the hardback was different and they redesigned it for the paperback, one of the very few occasions when I highly love the redesigned cover!!
      Thank you, Samantha!

  6. Haha, Oh my gods! So those were the books you were talking about! LOL. I LOVE the Backstreet Boys!! :D Great, now the songs are stuck in *my* head ;)

    The Sisters of Fate series is Norse mythology right? I have that on on my TBR list! I can't wait to hear what you think!!

    Great haul Pili! :)

  7. That looks like a great pile. I've been meaning to get started on the Shadow and Bone series but it's even better now that all the books are out. I hope you enjoy!

    1. Oh yeah, reading the whole series without the wait it's the best idea ever!
      I plan to re-read them once I get all the physical books!
      Thanks, Mari!

  9. I still need to read Kelly Sutton's first book in that series, Some Quiet Place, it's been on my wish list for awhile now. Linked is also on my wish list! You got a great set of books this week! I hope you love them all :D

  10. I just got Charm and Strange from Book Outlet TOO. And I was 10% into Rook when I decided to stop everything else and reread my favorite UF series before the next book comes out next Tuesday, so I'll be getting back to it soon. AND I just read I Want It That Way last week, I think. Amazing haul, Pili! 42 has to be some kind of record ;)

    1. Ooooh, talk about coincidences!

      Thanks Jessica!!
