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.

These weeks are flying by too fast. I can't believe we're already at another Sunday! Before we know it it will be the end of the year! So let's see what I got this week!
These were free on Amazon this week and, while I have hard copies and also a ecopies of the first two, I figured I should download them to help get her numbers up (since she is one of my favorite authors!):
Transcend by Christine Fonseca
Return to Sender (Letters to Nowhere #2) by Julie Cross
Awakening (Book One of the Geis) by Christy Dorrity
Return to Sender (Letters to Nowhere #2) by Julie Cross
Awakening (Book One of the Geis) by Christy Dorrity
Bought this from Amazon. I guess I'm into novellas this week!
This novella was gifted to me for a prize from the most awesome Rachel at Fiktshun!
Homecoming (Witch Eyes #0.5) by Scott Tracey
I also won these from Rachel (thus the novella gift):
Witch Eyes (Witch Eyes #1) by Scott Tracey
Demon Eyes (Witch Eyes #2) by Scott Tracey
Phantom Eyes (Witch Eyes #3) by Scott Tracey
And I was so excited about this release that I forgot I already ordered it. So two showed up on my doorstep on release day! Thank goodness I have friends who are just as bookish as I am and can sell one off! LOL!
Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth
Finally, I bought this lovely from the author! I got to read this early as an egalley and it was fantastic, not to mention an honor to be asked! I just love her work! And she signed it for me! EEP!

Perry Road (Revolution #1) by Emi Gayle
So, what did you get this week?
I am seeing a lot of Allegiant on this week's haul!
ReplyDeleteHahaha bless you with Allegiant! That's great :D.
ReplyDeleteReally nice haul, it's so nice to be supporting authors too.
My Showcase Sunday
Yay for Perry Road. I'm very jealous. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe Witch Eyes covers look great all lined up together. I hadn't seen that series before. You'll have to let me know how it is. And you'll have to let me know what you think of Trust in Me. After reading Walking Disaster, I'm turned off alternate POV stories for the same story I've already read, in case the author does the lazy of just changing up the original to suit. Too many things get missed from being changed that way, so I'm always dubious.
And I see you gave Allegiant 5 stars? I'm blown out of the water by your rating, because it's in complete contrast to all the other reviews I've seen for it. And I've seen a LOT of DNFs happening for this latest installment, too.

Yes, I gave it 5 stars. I was upset by things that happened BUT I am really at a loss for words that people are so angry about it as to rate it with a 1 or DNF. I think Roth took a huge risk, but I also think she stayed true to herself as a writer, so I cannot fault her for that in any way shape or form (or let that cloud my judgment about whether the writing was good, plot made sense, characters were well hashed out, etc.). Just my opinion and I am waiting to put up my review for a bit. I love her as a writer. I think it's great she took a chance. I heard people are boycotting the Divergent movie now, which is terrible. It's her artistic license and she took it, good for her!
Deletenovellas are always great to pick up, especially when you need a quick pick me up. I hope you enjoy all your reads Brooke and thanks for stopping by! :)
