Showcase Sunday #87

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea. This meme allows book bloggers to show off the books they collected over the last week.

So this week has been a pretty good week for me bookwise. I've managed to resist the urge to buy a single book - and I'm pretty proud of myself. Compared to last year, I'm actually managing to limit the amount of books I buy. But, this week I did get two books that I'm extremely excited about - one which I just HAD to read as soon as I got it (even if it's not out until May next year!).

Netgalley
The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy #2) by Marie Rutkoski
Thanks to Bloomsbury

Won
A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1) by Sarah J. Maas
I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this from Bloomsbury Kids UK on twitter and I may have screamed in work when I found out I'd won. I've already read it and it's fantastic! And I'm already -re-reading because I just need to. Massive thanks to Bloomsbury Kids UK!

What books did you get this week?

      I'd actually been planning to read The Winner's Crime this week, but then ACOTAR showed up and that didn't happen. Hopefully next week!

      I know! I couldn't believe it when I won it! It's fantastic, Pili! I can't wait for everyone to read it.
      Heart broken? Uh oh. I'll need to make sure to have tissues on hand when reading!

      I still can't believe I have it. I actually take it everywhere with me. I couldn't help it. It was too good to not re-read straight away!
      Thanks Mel :D

      Hahahaha!
      I meant to make time for The Winner's Crime, but I'm in the ACOTAR bubble just now and don't want to leave. But I'll get to it next week (hopefully!). Slow is good sometimes. Means you can enjoy it for longer :)

    OMG!!!! So jealous you got an ARC of A Court of Thorn and Roses. I hope it is good, although I'm sure it will be because Maas wrote it. Enjoy!!

    I just spent way too much money at a bookstore, I bought a lot of books! Haha. Among them were Gone with the Wind, Great Gatsby, Tales of a Jazz Age, If I had known you were this beautiful, I never would have let you go . . . among others. :)
