Showcase Sunday #60

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.

Hey friends. How was your week? Mine was pretty boring. Still doing no carb November, so obviously I'm cranky. And my nightly runs have become so cold. I can't believe I need to find my winter running gear. Blah.
This week saw some of my highly anticipated pre-orders come in. Eeeee!!! I also had a fantastic week with review books. The Marian Keyes book especially. I love her books. Anybody Out There is one of my most favourite books. I'm so happy she has a new book out. It was just a really good week book wise. Which is uplifting and helps a little to battle this pre-winter depression that comes on.

  1. Wow! Great book week! All the covers are gorgeous too which always makes me extra happy! I didn't know the Jane Austen Cover to Cover book existed but now I must have it. It'd be a fabulous Christmas gift as well. Great job on sticking to No Carb November. I can't even imagine my level of crankiness. My family would probably be sneaking me carbs for their own well being.
