Showcase Sunday #26

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.

You know what pisses me off? Pre-ordering. What's the point of doing it if you're not going to get the books? I had 4 books pre-ordered that came out on the 4th(what book didn't come out on Tuesday?). I have two of them in my possession. And they didn't even get to me on Tuesday. I ended up cancelling my other two and re-ordered them through another store. I don't want to name names *cough*Amazon*cough* but that is not the terms of your pre-order guarantee.
Rant over. On to books.

Just a thought: I wonder how much you make as a cover model? Because that chick on the cover of Torn Away has been on a million covers the last year or so.

As always, let me know what went on this week down below. Or link up your weekly post.

Happy reading!

  5. Amazon SUCK when it comes to pre-orders. I've completely stopped pre-ordering things from Amazon (unless is kindle books) because they always show up late.
    Half-Bad! It's so pretty in hardcover! I wasn't a major fan of How I Live Now, but I hope you end up enjoying it more! Ooh! I haven't heard of OCD Love Story before and now I want it. One Man Guy sounds really good too!
    Great haul, Brittany! Happy reading :D
