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!
Beverley's New Books:
For Review:
Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black: I'm super-duperly happy to be getting a chance to read this 4 months before its release! I love how the proof copy came with a beautiful cover, don't you love it?
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter: Eeeeeee!!!!!!!! So frikkin' excited to read this one! Some of my favourite bloggers gave it amazing reviews so I can't wait to experience it myself :D
Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan: Jen wrote a glowing review on one of Levithan's other books and I've heard many great thing about this so hopefully I'll enjoy it!
Saving June by Hannah Harrington: My first approval on NetGalley! Whoop whoop! I'm currently reading this and I'm absolutely ADORING it :)
Possession by Elana Johnson: This is for a blog tour and both Jen and I will be reviewing it so keep your eyes out for it :D
6 Seconds of Life by Tonya Fitzharris: Another e-book for blog tour review. Can't wait to read this: it deals with suicide and I'm eager to see how the author deals with such a sensitive matter. Probably won't be reading this straight after Saving June, huh?
*Many thanks to Bloomsbury, Mira Ink, Harlequin UK, Elana Johnson and Tonya Fitzharris, and the blog tour sites representing them*
Won:
Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth: Those of you who are close readers of the blog may remember I won a copy of Divergent a while ago. Well, after that I won another giveaway for Insurgent and it took quite a long time for it to arrive so I'm guessing that's why I got a complimentary copy of Divergent as well.
What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang: OMG!!!!!!!!! I practically squealed when I opened the package to reveal this beauty!!!! I'm so so so so excited to read this since I've been waiting forever for its release!!!!! And I just ADORE the UK cover XD
I probably won't have many books to showcase over the next few weeks as I am stopping requesting/accepting review books. My TBR pile is HUGE right now and the pressure is building up at school so I want to take things slowly. I'm sure you can all just gush over Jen's hauls ;)

Jen's New Books:
Borrowed:
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff: I got this one from Netgalley a couple of months ago but I never read it because I heard it's quite difficult to read it as a galley. Unfortunately, I won't be getting to this one because I don't have time. :(
Survive by Alex Morel: I've been eyeing this one for a long time ever since it came out. But again, I won't be getting to this one either. :(
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White: Listening to this one on audio right now, and it's not my favorite.
Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready: So excited to start this on audio soon! Paranormal audios for October FTW!
Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready: Book 2 oh yes.
Review:
Swipe by Evan Angler: I heard really great things about this one so I'm excited to start this MG dystopian series!
Sneak by Evan Angler: Book 2!
The Wild Ones by M. Leighton: For a tour! I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED TO START THIS ONE!!
Timeless by Michelle Madow: I should probably start this series really soon... -__-
The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson: This is the sequel to THE NAME OF THE STAR, which, of course, I have not read. I'm a bad blogger.
**Much thanks to Thomas Nelson, M. Leighton, Michelle Madow, Penguin Book Group, and Netgalley!
Bought (All were Freebies on Amazon)
Forever Mine by Elizabeth Reyes: Bev just reviewed this one! Click here to read her review. :)
Ethereal by Addison Moore: Apparently this one has movie rights? Sounds interesting!
Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs: Funny, I bought this one the day after Bev interviewed Tera on the blog. :) I've been wanting to read this one for FOREVER.
Dirty Blood by Heather Hildenbrand: I've been eyeing this one for awhile too, but just never got it. Sounds good thought!
Blood of Anteros by Georgia Cates: I've been hearing awesome things about Georgia Cates, so I decided to pick up one of her books!
What did you get this week?
Happy reading,
Beverley and Jen x

ReplyDeleteWow, both of you have some amazing books! I can't wait to read Alice in Wonderland, and like you, Beverly, I'm eager to see how Tonya Fitzharris deals with the issue of suicide. I can't wait to see what her book has in store, especially with those excerpts we got. ;) Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Winning Divergent AND Insurgent in two separate giveaways. That's so amazing xD

Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. My most favorite book just because set in NY, flipping hilarious, and oh yes, so much fun to read! I'm currently reading Alice in Zombieland and it's not as I thought it would be, but still, I can see why many want to read it or loved it. Hope you enjoy them all!!!!
