Stacking the Shelves/Showcase Sunday (8)


Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews.
Showcase Sunday is a meme hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea.
These memes are a replacement of The Story Siren's In My Mailbox.

Stacking the Shelves and Showcase Sunday make a place to showcase your new books,
whether you obtained them through the post or otherwise.

I received four very different books for review this week - only one of which is actually YA! I am most excited to read and review Why We Broke Up, so expect a post for that very soon! I also received French Lessons as part of a blog tour I will be participating in. As well as those, I received Cox and Split Second

 I made quite a few swaps this week and received some awesome-looking books in return! I received two books by Jennifer Echols, The One That I Want and Love Story which I'm very excited about - I've only read Going Too Far by her, but I loved it, so I'm hoping these ones will be just as good! I also got The Girl in the Mask, Crave, The Rules for Hearts and a copy of Once a Witch!

 I was gifted a copy of Mad Love by the lovely Jade @ Ink Scratchers this week, thanks Jade! I also won an awesome prize from Electric Monkey including a cool satchel, a finished copy of Dads, Geeks & Blue Haired Freaks and an ARC of Zombies Don't Cry!

 Yep, even after getting all of those other books through the mail, I couldn't resist buying a few! I had a pretty rough time at the doctors on monday, so I walked down to the local indie bookshop (which may not actually be closing now they have plans for a cafe inside it!) and bought a copy of a book I've been after for a while - Grave MercyI am always on the look out for books with a LGBT focus and when I found out about About a Girl, I had to buy a copy of that. Courtesy of The Book Depository summer solstice 24 hours of offers, I also bought a copy of a YA contemporary - Lex - for a couple of quid!

I hope you've all had an equally successful bookish week!
What books did you get?

  5. Mad Love is a fun book and I hope you love the two Echols books you got (I think Going Too Far is the best, but all of her books are good). And I am so looking forward to your review of Why We Broke Up!
