Showcase Sunday (#26)

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.

For Review: 

Fractured (Guards of the Shadowlands, #2) by Sarah Fine

I received this one awhile back but can't wait to start it! Malachi!<33 font="">

Carniepunk by Rachel Caine

I wasn't expecting this in the mail, but I will hopefully get the time soon to ship it off to a friend who most certainly will enjoy this, even if I won't. :)

Omens (Cainsville, #1) by Kelley Armstrong

Admittedly, my excitement for this one has gone done after being disappointed by Bitten, the first in Armstrong's older adult series. BUT, I am still curious to read this one. It's rather big, but I'm looking forward to it. *fingers crossed*

The Chocolate Kiss (Amour et Chocolat, #4) by Laura Florand

I love this series and this book is no exception. You can read my review for it HERE and look out for Laura Florand later this month since she'll be stopping by the blog! :D

Borrowed: 

Nightshifted (Edie Spence, #1) by Cassie Alexander
I've heard so many good things about this series, so I can't wait to start it soon! 

Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire
Heidi @ Bunbury in the Stacks keeps talking up this series and I can't stand to be out of the loop, so I'm jumping into this one soon for sure! :)

Railsea by China Mieville
I'm kind of scared of Mieville, to be honest, because his books seem so OUT THERE, but I desperately want to give them a try, so here's hoping this one works for me! *fingers crossed*

Raven Flight (Shadowfell, #2) by Juliet Marillier
I've been on a Marillier binge with her Sevenwaters series and am hoping this proves to live up to my expectations too. We'll see.

Cold Magic (Spiritwalkers, #1) by Kate Elliott
It seems this is one of the few solid trilogies out there and now that the entire series is released, I'm looking forward to devouring them. My first Kate Elliott, so hopefully it'll live up to my expectations!

Haze (Shadows, #2) by Paula Weston
I have a British librarian in my library who was kind enough to lend this to me. Sadly, she is returning back to UK for retirement, which means I won't be getting such easy access to AUS/UK novels, but I can't wait to read this in the meantime! :)

Audiobooks:

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 
I couldn't wait to read this but I really wanted to experience it on audio, so FINALLY my copy arrived from the library. I have HIGH expectations, so let's hope they're all met! :D

I'm getting incredible lazy these days, so I actually have borrowed many more books from the library, but since I've already read them, I figured there's no point in sharing. Among those were Sarah Addison Allen's novels, Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart, the Sevenwaters series, Liza Palmer's books, and even a splash of Jennifer Crusie. Anyway, what books have you been reading this summer? Link me up! :)
