Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky @ Books, Biscuits & Tea. The aim of this event is to showcase our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders this week.

So this week was HUGE! Why, you ask? Well, I was on vacation for two weeks and came home to this:
And then the books kept rolling in! So, let me tell you what I've gotten since returning from vacation last Sunday!
This one probably excited me the most. My ARC review books from Spencer Hill Press. Every time I get a package from them I squee, I just can't help myself!
Extracted (The Lost Imperials #1) by Sherry D. Ficklin and Tyler Hall Jolley (I've read this one already and it's FANTASTIC! Seriously, it's THE BEST book I've read all year. You can see my review HERE)
Doorways to Extra Time by multiple authors, this is an anthology of short stories
Blood Bound by Keshia Swaim
Death and Mr. Right by Kendra L. Saunders
Whisper Falls by Elizabeth Langston
Then I got these nice book from Epic Reads. The first one I definitely won. The other two I'm not so sure about as the contest is still going on. So I'm not sure if they were just sent to me or they are picking winners as they go.
In the After (In the After #1) by Demitiria Lunetta (have heard terrific things about this one)
Rock and a Hard Place (The Jamieson Collection, #1) by Angie Stanton
Snapshot ( A Jamieson Brothers Novel) by Angie Stanton
This first one I was pre-approved for on Net Galley. Not sure if the publisher decided sending me a finished copy might be nice or not. The second and third ones are from Shelf Awareness. I entered for a chance to win because they looked good and I thought my oldest might like to read it.
The Book of Lost Things (Mister Max #1) by Cynthia Voigt
Pretty sure this one also came from Shelf Awarenes. Although it's hard to tell because when the books show up they don't have anything with them and often times I forget which books I may have entered to win! This one looks like something my guest reviewer, Crystal, would like, so I'm gonna hand it off to her!
How to Love by Katie Cotugno
I won this galley from Christine Fonseca. I have an ARC, as well. It's a good book and all pre-teen and teen girls should read it!
The Girl Guide: Finding Your Place in a Mixed-Up World by Christine Fonseca
This first book is the third in the series. Crystal has read and reviewed the first two, so I will be passing this one on to her to read! The authors had sent me the first and then the second, so I guess they thought I'd like to get a copy of the third since it just came out! The second picture are books I agreed to read and review for an author.

Child of Stone (Shardwell #3) by Amanda Gerry and Cynthia Hall
The Elf Girl (Journey into the Realm, #1) by Markelle Grabo
The Spell Master (Journey into the Realm, #2) by Markelle Grabo
Amulet Books sent me these to read and review. I love the covers!
Sick by Tom Leveen
Goodbye, Rebel Blue by Shelley Coriell
This one I ordered from Barnes and Noble as I had a 20% off coupon and I've been wanting this one for a while!

Yesterday, I went to a book signing with the most awesome Lisa Amowitz. We got to meet the following authors: Kristi Cook (whom I met last year), Phoebe North, Jonathan Mayberry (whom I got to meet at BEA), Sarah Beth Durst, Nancy Ohlin, and Kit Grindstaff. It was a lot of fun! And of course, I couldn't leave without buying and having books signed! So here's what I got:
Eternal (Winterhaven #3) by Kristi Cook
Starglass (Starglass #1) by Phoebe North
Rot and Ruin (Benny Imura, #1) by Jonathan Mayberry
Flesh and Bone (Benny Imura #3) by Jonathan Mayberry
Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst
Thorn Abbey by Nancy Olin
The Flame in the Mist by Kit Grindstaff

Nothing like a big pile of books on the doorstep to help you get over post holiday blues!
ReplyDeleteDang! You have so many books I was going cross-eyed trying to takem them all in, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what you think of Rock and a Hard Place, though, as I have that on my shelf.
And Yay! for SHP goodness. :D
Oh, and I'm very intrigued by Rot and Ruin--I'm told it's a great zombie read.
