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?

  1. 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.

    1. 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.

    1. 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.
