Showcase Sunday #2


Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits & Tea where bloggers show off what goodies they received throughout the week.


I started Showcase Sunday a couple of weeks ago and then had a slow week, so I pushed everything back until I had more to show off. This is what I got for the last two weeks. 



The Forsaken - Lisa Stasse

This was a proof copy from Hachette. I saw the cover and thought it looked pretty cool and the concept was  really interesting too: exiled criminals struggling to get off a remote island. I enjoyed it a lot. 






Heist Society & Uncommon Criminals - Ally Carter

As you may have noticed, I've been slowly putting up my reviews for Ally Carter's other series - Gallagher Girls. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read Heist Society too. I've only just started it and I'm in love already. Ally can do no wrong for me. 





Shine - Jeri Smith-Ready 

At the beginning of the year I won a competition on Kilt & Keeley which involved getting a signed copy of Shine. It feels like I've been waiting forever for it and this week it finally arrived. I may have danced and screamed a bit when it got here. And it came with some awesome signed swag, which I always love getting with books :)





And that's it for this week. What goodies made it onto your shelves?

    Hi Kim!
    Nice Showcase Sunday! Looks Awesome! I love the Swag you got! hehe! All the books you got sound so interesting, seem like a good read!
    Oh Heist Society! I borrowed that book from my school library back in year 12 (2010) and i started reading it and it was good! I didn't get far through it and it was due back at the library so i didn't get to finish :(
    Even though i promised myself not to buy books till after exams, i bought 2 last week :( hehe can. not. resist.

      Ugh, I totally understand. I can't resist buying more books too. I need to empty my wallet when I go shopping, so I can't be tempted to buy more books...but that sort of defeats the purpose.

      I've almost finished Heist Society and I just love it. Something about the way Ally Carter writes makes her books so addictive. You should totally try reading it again.

      Goodies always make books better :P I love the cover of The Forsaken...It looks way cooler in colour though. My copy is black & white.

      Lol...the perks of having Hachette connections. The Forsaken is a pretty good book. I can't wait for everyone else to get their hands on it too.

      I LOVE Heist Society, finished it last night. Looking forward to reading Uncommon Criminals soon.
