Showcase Sunday #20

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 for the past week and to also gush over the wonderful books to other bloggers have added to their bookshelves!

Firstly, I'M BACK!!! I had a fabulous week on my school trip and it gave me some time to think about things.  Thank you for all your wonderfully supportive comments on my last post.  I've decided to take things in my own stride and work blogging around my life.  I also received a few emails about interest in co-blogging with me.  I haven't confirmed whether co-blogging is a route I will go down again but I will definitely have a call-out at an appropriate time.

Anyway... Wow... this is my first Showcase Sunday in AGES!!!!  Considering how long I've been away, I haven't received a lot of books as I've tried to cut back on what I accept/request. TOO MANY BOOKS TO READ O.O

For Review:

Coco Caramel by Cathy Cassidy: A delightfully sweet read!  I really enjoyed this one, check out my review HERE (it's feeling a little lonely :P) 

Forget You by Jennifer Echols:  I requested this one a while ago.  Jennifer Echols is big in the US and I can't wait to discover her awesomeness for myself!

You Don't Know Me by Sophia Bennett: A-MAZING. Loved this. SO. MUCH. Look out for my review which wil be coming to your screens shortly.  It also came with a cute little iPod sock - my iPod is now very cosy! 

The Drowning by Rachel Ward: A surprise from Chicken House! This one seems really chilling and I can't wait to devour it!

Thanks go to Penguin, Chicken House and Simon&Schuster!

Won: 

Undone by Cat Clarke: There is a reason why Cat Clarke is one of the best UKYA authors around. Undone was so shocking and beautiful and I absolutely adored it. Thanks to Lanna at Bloggers Heart Books!

Drummer Girl by Bridget Tyler:  Another book about a talent contest! Thanks to Nayu at Nayu's Reading Corner.

Bought:

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre: I'm planning to read some scientific books over the summer and this one was recommended to me.  I'm only 50 pages in and it's already a real eye-opener!  Thanks to my mum for the copy!

E-books

For review:

Addicted to You by Krista and Becca Ritchie: The synopsis of this book really caught my attention and I wanted to support a fellow blogger who wrote this with her sister.  Thanks to Krista for my review copy!

So, that's all the books I got. I'm looking forward to reading them over summer!

Feel free to link me up to your hauls!

This month is going to be crazy for me! Exams are on their way, and yet, my TBR pile keeps growing... Here's what I got this week! I definitely have enough books to last me the entire summer.. EEP. Can't wait. :)

For Review:

Thanks to St. Martin's Press, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Atria Books, Egmont USA, Netgalley, and Edeweiss! <3

Library: (I'm going to be returning some of these unread, just watch)

WHEWWWEE. Library books are actually the worst though because you're not spending any money at all so you just GRAB ALL OF THEM. It's a problem... What book should I read first?

Happy reading, 

Jen xx

So... I went a little crazy these past two weeks. I'm not even going to attempt to make an excuse why I got so many. I just need to accept the fact that I'm a book addict. Simple as that.
