Showcase Sunday (#4)


Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicki at Books, Biscuits and Tea. Its aim is to showcase our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders this week.

I am really excited about my haul this week! I was able to pick up some of my most anticipated ARCs and I was also able to buy and borrow quite a few of the new releases this past week. I honestly don't know which ones to read first and I can't wait to get to all of them! :D 

For Review: 
Midnight City by J. Barton Mitchell 
It seems impossible that I was just gushing about how much I wanted to read this book in my last Waiting on Wednesday post and now I actually am! I'm so excited to start this one! :D 
Dark Star by Bethany Frenette

Bought:

The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse 
Quarantine: The Loners by Lex Thomas

Borrowed:

    Hi Keertana, I've heard such good things about Seraphina; good to hear you're enjoying it so. I'm tempted to pick it up next week :-) Midnight City and Dark Star also look good.
    Thanks for stopping by YA's the Word

    Wow, you've got some really great books, Keertana!! I'm totally jealous that you got Dark Star- I am DYING to read that one! I'm looking forward to your review of it. =) I've heard fabulous things about The Forsaken and Such A Rush- I'm looking forward to reading both of those!
