Showcase Sunday #6

Showcase Sunday is hosted by the lovely Vicky over at Books, Biscuits, and Tea! It's a great way to share what you have received the past week and to also gush over the wonderful books other bloggers have added to their bookshelves!

Bev's New Books:

For review:

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas:  The praise for this has been so high, I can't avoid reading it.  There have been so many glowing reviews of this so I really hope it will live up to my expectations!

Blink Once by Cylin Busby:  A lovely surprise from the publisher. It sounds really interesting and mysterious and it's told from the guy's point of view - you know how I love my male POVs ;)

Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan: Some of my favourite bloggers really enjoyed this and said it was unusual and different.  And I love the UK cover- the girl looks Asian and you rarely get Asian girls on covers so YAY!

The Killables by Gemma Malley:  Another surprise!  I heard about this one a while ago and was planning to borrow it from the library once I had time so I'm really glad this landed on my doorstep.

Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine: This book seems so beautiful and delicate as it's told from the POV of a girl with Asperger's.  I'm always intrigued to see how authors deal with matters like these.

Thanks to Bloomsbury, Simon & Schuster, Hodder & Stoughton and Kathryn Erskine for these lovelies.

Won:

My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by Rachel Harris:  Whoopee!  I was going to ask for this for my birthday but I was super excited when I was told I'd won a copy from a giveaway!  I'm so eager to pick this one up as it sounds like such a fun, flirty read!  If you haven't got your hands on one yet, don't forget to enter my 16th Birthday Giveaway! You can win an e-copy and a pretty swag pack.

Gifted:

A Kindle!!!!!! Yes, I asked for a Kindle!  (Thanks to those of you who encouraged me on Twitter to ask for one!)  I've always stood firm and said I wouldn't go to the 'dark' side, nothing can beat a paperback etc... but every blogger I know has one and Jen seems to adore hers so I thought, 'Why not?' And while it isn't as good as a paperback, I still love it and I've already made a few requests on Netgalley!  Thank you so much Mum and Dad, love you guys!!!!!!!!!

Bought:

 

Forever Mine by Elizabeth Reyes:  I wanted to try out the Kindle and this was free on Amazon so I decided to get it, plus the cover is so sweet :D And the guy is called Angel?  Something tells me he doesn't really live up to the name ;)

Jen's New Books

For Review:
Entangled by Nikki Jefford: Yay for indie authors! I've heard really great things about this one, and it looks so interesting!

Blind Spot by Laura Ellen: This synopsis intrigued me INSTANTLY. "What you can't see might be murder" is the tagline--doesn't that intrigue YOU?

Love Unscripted by Tina Reber: This one isn't YA, but it's a romance adult novel. I most likely won't be reviewing this one on the blog, but it looked interesting.

Send Me A Sign by Tiffany Schmidt: Yep. I'm still looking for that cancer book that will make me cry.

Magisterium by Jeff Hirsch: I've already heard really mixed things about this one, but I'll still give it a try. Sounds awesome!

Much thanks to Netgalley, Houghton Mifflin, Bloomsbury, Scholastic, IBPA, and S&S!



Bought:
Blood Like Poison by M. Leighton: I pretty much just bought this one because it's by M. Leighton and I've heard nothing but amazing things about her. Freebie!

Wings of Arian by Devri Walls: This one was pretty hyped up during the blog tour, and I've had my eye on it for a while. Another freebie!

Madly by M. Leighton: Another great one by Miss Leighton! Freebie as well..

Solstice by Donna Burgess: Zombie Apocalypse. Nuff said. Freebie.

Second Chance by Katie Kacvinsky: I read Awaken (a different series), but I haven't read First Comes Love yet. I will soon, now that I have this lovely! Was a freebie when I bought it!

Borrowed:

If I Stay by Gayle Forman: I read this one about 2 years ago, and I didn't like it much, at all. I'm going to try again! This one I borrowed on audio.

Smart Girls Get What They Want by Sarah Strohmeyer: GUYS THIS IS THE FIRST EVER PHYSICAL ARC I'VE EVER LAID HANDS ON. My sister is part of this library book group (that I don't have time for) so she was able to snag an ARC to borrow. EEEP.

Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson: LOVED Amy and Roger's, so I can't freaking WAIT to read this one! Funny story: I tweeted that I was starting this one, and Ms. Matson actually tweeted back at me, when I didn't even mention her! :)

What did you guys get this week?  Link us up!

Happy reading,
Beverley and Jen x
