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 is a two weeks SS because since I am on a self impossed book buying ban because getting my new camera right after my trip to the US requires a decrease on expenses and that means not going crazy on buying books! Except for my 2015 preorders but I'm using an Amazon GC for that!
In these two weeks I've got a few physical books, one free eBook (Little Women) on my Kindle app and got approved for two ARCs via NetGalley!
Purchased
I preordered Mortal Heart quite a while ago from The Book Depository and I got Jackaby after cancelling a few orders that were "pending release" since August/September and hadn't been shipped by them.
I preordered Lailah and Compulsion with Amazon.com because I had a GC so it was a given! This is my second copy of Lailah and I'm giving it away along with some swag HERE and yes it's open INTERNATIONAL!
And with a shipping refund from an Etsy order, I got myself this copy of Maplecroft from Book Depository, because after reading Maja's review on The Nocturnal Library, I needed it!
For Review (via NetGalley)
Thank you so very much to Tor Books/Macmillan Forge and to Penguin Random House UK for the approvals of these two books, or to be more accurate, one book and one sampler!! Really need to work on my NetGalley ratio again, I'm falling behind once again!!
Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
And that's all for now! With my book ban I won't be making weekly Showcase Sundays, probably every two weeks or so, or maybe even once a month, we'll see!
So what did all guys get this week(s)??

alicia @ noverly things
I'm starting Mortal Heart right now and Jackaby once I'm done with it! I've heard so many great things about Jackaby and being compared to Sherlock is what made me get it!
DeleteAnd Alicia, you MUST read Grave Mercy, it is amazing!
