Showcase Sunday #10

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme held by Books, Biscuits and Tea. It allows fellow bloggers to show off any books or bookish things they've compiled over the week.

So, slow week over here (sorry). But I'm still sick, so really all I want to do is sleep. On the plus side, I'm going to Vegas this week! It's just for two nights, for work. But it's not here and it will be sunny and warm.
I also started and finished the Legend trilogy this week. Champion may not have destroyed my life like Allegiant but it was still pretty heart breaking. I really don't think I can handle finishing any other series this year if this is the trend. *I'm looking at you Taste of Darkness*
Netgalley November quick update: I read two more NG books this week. So that brings my total to four. I'm pretty happy with that. I'm hoping to finish four more this month and that should bring up my review % on there quite a bit. *fingers crossed*

  1. Steelheart sounds so awesome! I can't wait to see what you think of that one. I adore the cover for Gris Grimly's Frankenstein . I need to get around to reading Prodigy soon since Champion is out now.
    Great haul! Happy reading :)

    1. Thanks! I'm excited to get some warm weather. Even if it is only for a few days.

  3. I hear you with Net Galley... I keep trying to get my percentage up but every time I go on I request a dozen books. And then I'm auto-approved for 6 publishers too, I'm never going to get above 70% at this rate, never mind hit the target of 85%!

    1. It's true. It's a never ending cycle. But hey, at least you're auto approved, so it means you're doing something right. :)

    1. Thanks JenJen!
      Legend is a really good trilogy. Super action packed. You'd fly through them.
      I know, eh! It's beautiful inside too. :)

  6. Ooh, great week! I bought Champion the day it came out but haven't read it yet, though I'm so excited to do so. Woo, congrats on your progress of Netgalley November! Shamefully, I've only gotten one book read. :) Happy reading, and I hope you feel better!!!

      I'm really pushing myself with NG November. My % is just terrible. :/
      Champion was fantastic! Just make sure to prepare yourself for the feels. :)
