Showcase Sunday #46!!


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!


It's been a few weeks since my last Showcase Sunday and I have quite a backlog of books both physical and eBooks and swag and a bit of everything and I'm feeling way too tired to compose a proper long post with everything, so I will be showing off all the physical books I got and all the awesome signed swag I got too!

I've got some really awesome things in the mail as of late, not only purchases from Book Outlet or The Book Depository, but also I got my first finished copy sent directly by the publisher (THANK YOU SO MUCH PAN MAC MILLAN!!) and won a giveaway for my first physical ARC of 2015!!



Another awesome Book Outlet Order! I needed physical copies of Scarlet and Perfect Ruin, cause I loved those books! When The Sea Is Rising Red I got after Wendy from The Midnight Garden highly recommended it and I got Hover to finally read it before the final book in the trilogy releases.




One of those bookworm problems, when you end up ordering two copies of the same book, so I'll be giving this one away for my b-day's giveaway, starting soon, so keep an eye on the blog!




I got this supremely gorgeous finished copy of Station Eleven sent directly by the publisher and I was flailing like mad when I did, thank you so much Pan MacMillan!!!



My absolutely precious copy of Deliverance that arrived on release day from The Book Depository which was an absolute treat! I loved this book but I am quite sad that the trilogy is now over.



Lailah!!! I finally managed to snag an ARC of Lailah!! Nikki Kelly was amazing enough to ensure I could get my hands on a copy through Danny from Bewitched Bookworms! Thank you so much to both Nikki & Danny!!




Another Book Outlet order, with two more books I adored and needed to own in physical form and one that has been intriguing me for a while.




After reading and loving the ARC of Gypsy I got myself a signed copy from the author! Thank you, Trisha!




My dear and long awaiting copy of Heir of Fire! I preordered it and even if it shipped the week before release day it took forever to arrive, but it was more than worth the wait!




Winning a giveaway is amazing and winning a giveaway for an ARC of a sequel that you're dying to get your hands on and that comes out next year? Priceless!! Thank you so much Mindee, for the book, for the signed swag and for being generally awesome!!




I'm you all already know how much I adore Becca and her fantastic painted totes, and I just had to ask her to paint me a Fangirl one with her Cover Puppies version of the cover! Ain't it adorable?? Do visit her Etsy shop!




I also got some stunning signed swag that I won from Martina Boone's huge ongoing giveaway to celebrate Compulsion's book trailer, I adore that necklade! Thank you so much Martina!




And I also got myself a signed copy of Athena's Ashes and Jamie was ever so lovely to send me some swag, postcards and a notebook! Thank you so much, Jamie!



And I got another gorgeous Pivot Book Tote from the ever so talented Becca, if you want your own Winner's Curse tote, find it HERE!



And that's all for today, I do really need to try and not let that much time pass between Showcase Sunday posts, or I get too overwhelmed by everything and end up doing a babbling post like the one today, without any GR links, sorry guys!

What all did you lovely peeps get this week??

Showcase Sunday #43!!


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 is a two weeks combined haul and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the eBooks I ended up getting, so to make it a faster one and spend more time catching up on the many reviews I still need to write and schedule, this haul is gonna be only about physical books, swag and eARCs that I got in the past two weeks!


Purchased (via The Book Depository)

I wasn't expecting my copy of On The Fence to arrive so early, given how slow the mail had been since mid-June but YAY!


On The Fence by Kasie West


Purchased (via Amazon.ES)

I'm not a big fan of buying from Amazon unless it's through my Kindle app since they're been messing around the delivery dates for preorders for quite a while, but this one was in stock and I wanted it ASAP! The messenger delivery was an annoyance though, the guy arrived at nearly 8 pm! I had no idea they delivered that late!


The Rules for Breaking by Ashley Elston



Won in a Giveaway

I have been quite lucky as of late as far as giveaway goes!! First I won an ARC on a giveaway at Ula's blog (Blog of Erised) and then I won a signed copy on Lori M Lee's giveaway!!



Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel

My amazing signed swag and signed hardcover copy, everything is gorgeous!! Thanks a lot, Lori!!!






For Review (via NetGalley)

Thanks a lot Egmont USA for the approval!!



The Eternity Key by Bree Despain



For Review (via Edelweiss)

Thank you so much Simon Pulse for the approval!!



Compulsion by Marina Boone



For Review (via the author)

Thanks a lot, Jamie! This one goes into my ARC August queue!



Athena's Ashes by Jamie Grey



And then I got myself a bookish tote on Etsy, hand painted by my dear bloggy friend and uber talented Becca from Pivot Point Reviews!! And not only she painted the tote and it was more amazing than I imagined, but she also sent me some awesome signed swag from her stock!! SHE'S THE BEST!!






And that's all (aside from my massive amount of eBooks on my Kindle app!!) for this week!
