Showcase Sunday #76

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.

Hello. Feels like so long since I've posted. When actually it's only been a week. Kind of took an impromptu break. Just wasn't feeling the whole blog thing this week. Reviews are starting to feel like a chore right now. So like my girl, Samantha, I think March will be a light month. There are reviews that will go up because I owe it to the publishers to get them up. But otherwise memes and such are taking a break. I want to read and that's really the mood I'm in. Although I'm behind on my review books and it's making me anxious. NA is kicking my butt right now. It's all I want. Whatever. April I'll come back swinging... Hopefully. In the mean time I'll catch you guys next Sunday. 

And now take a look at all the lovely books I acquired this week. As well as say hello to Maya. A new member of the family. God, she's adorable. 

Purchased

Picture Perfect(Geek Girl #3) by Holly Smale: Was waiting, impatiently, for this one to be released in the same paperback size as my copies. Now I can finally read it.
The Return(Titan #1) by Jennifer L Armentrout: Finally my copy showed up. I have devoured and loved it. Just look at always those post-its.

Burial Rites by Hannah Kent: Went on sale on The Book Depository so of course I bought it.
Fractured by Dani Atkins: Same. Went on sale. Grabbed it up.

E-Books Purchased

Went on a little Kindle shopping spree. But for the most part these were free or about $1.

Showcase Sunday #75

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.

I have crawled out my blanket cave to bring you guys this. Be impressed. It's been another freeze your fingers off as soon as they hit cold air kind of week. Thank God it is March. Perhaps Mother Nature will drop this mood and bring spring. Not like spring necessarily means warmer weather here. I went to a good friends birthday party last night. She turned 30. And as of today I'm a month away from that number too. We were ragging on her pretty hard. But it's a scary number. :S
As per usual, got a ton of books this week. I honestly(as I say every week) didn't mean too. But I found some highly anticipated books out early. And other ones I just wanted. The Kindle books for the most part were free or really cheap. I'm on another NA binge and was looking for deals there. Plus I'm addicted to one of the series down there and have been devouring them the past few days. 

Purchased

Red Queen(Red Queen Trilogy #1) by Victoria Aveyard: Caved and bought it. I've been eagerly anticipating this one, but I knew I wouldn't be reading it anytime soon. So I held off, for like a week.

Sherlock Holmes in a Study in Scarlet(Sherlock Holmes #1) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Gris Grimly: I love Gris Grimly's illustrated classics. So I couldn't pass this one up.
Shutter Vol 1:Wanderlust: On a major graphic novel kick. So after my friend recommended me this one I went and got it right away.

Confess by Colleen Hoover: I was doing my daily sleuthing on the Chapters website and saw that a location 40 minutes from me had this out 11(11!) days early. So naturally because it's CoHo I rushed there. I stayed up really late reading. Obviously.
The Winner's Crime(The Winner's Trilogy #2) by Marie Rutkoski: That Chapters also had this out early. So I snatched it up. I do have an e-ARC of it, but I can't read fantasy books in e-format. Besides I was going to buy a finished copy.
Dorothy Must Die:Stories by Danielle Paige: I had no idea these were being printed in paperback. So when I saw this I had to have it. *shrugs*

E-Books Purchased

Captured: Saw someone on my Goodreads rave about it. Than saw it was free for Kindle.

Addicted to You: Was going through my Amazon wishlists and saw this was on special, the special being free.
Whatever Life Throws At You: Seeing a lot of great reviews from my friends and it was about $2 for Kindle. So I clicked buy.
Near & Far: Samantha made me read the first one and I couldn't stop there. Blame Jesse Walker, the smokin' hot cowboy. Can't pass up more books with him.
Finders Keepers: I already own the first one, but saw the 3rd one(this one) was like a $1. So clicked again.
The Sin Eater's Daughter: Pre-ordered this one a while ago because it was only $3. If I end up loving it I'll buy the physical copy.

Review
