Showcase Sunday #23

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.

Everyone as immersed in the Olympics as I am? Canada is a winter sport country. So we always kick ass at the winter Olympics. I couldn't be more proud of our athletes. What am I going to do when they are over? I guess impatiently wait for the World Cup to start...
On to books. I was so good until last night. See what boredom does to me, makes me go to the book store. Here come my excuses; one was a pre-order, two were finished copies of books I've already read, one is for a book signing I'm going to next weekend and the other one I just wanted. Totally logical reasoning. Yup...

Hopefully I won't have any physical books to show next week. This week I did a physical tally of all my TBR books and well let's just say I was more than surprised by the total. I did add a tab up top if it's something that interests you.
As always, hook up your weekly haul below. Or let me know what you got this week.

Happy reading!

    1. The good thing with Mind Games and Perfect Lies is it's a duology. So you can netflix them now. :)

    1. Thanks Missie! I'm half-way through it and it's one messed up book. Going to be hard to write a coherent review. Lol.

  5. Just wanting is an excellent reason or buying a book! Especially if it's Defy, which looks awesome.

    1. That's my reasoning. I want. So I buy. ;)
      Defy was OK. I more wanted it as a finished copy because it's pretty. Lol.
