Showcase Sunday (#27)

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 haven't done a Showcase Sunday post in nearly two months. (Sorry!) I'm absolutely terrible at remembered all the books I bought/borrowed/received, so I'm just going to showcase the recent titles and hope I didn't leave out anything too interesting. 

For Review: 

Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz

Fact: I receive a lot of strange ARCs and Finished Copies from unknown publishers. And this is one of them. I have a lovely finished copy of this that I don't entirely plan to read, so it'll probably collect dust on my shelves, but...there it is. *shrug*
Sorrow's Knot by Erin Bow 
I wasn't a fan of Plain Kate, but I'm very curious about this title. I'm hoping I enjoy it!

Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis 

I've been hearing a lot of hype about this one and couldn't resist requesting it. Thankfully, Not a Drop to Drink totally lived up to the hype. I'll have my review of this up soon...I hope!

Untold (Lynburn Legacy, #2) by Sarah Rees Brennan

I was pleasantly surprised when this showed up on my doorstep and basically read it in a matter of hours. I didn't enjoy it as much as Unspoken, but still a solid read. I'll hopefully have my review of this up either this week or by the next!

The Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins

It should come as no surprise that I absolutely adore Kristan Higgins. I recently finished The Best Man and am looking forward to diving into this sequel. After all, there's nothing better than a good romance novel.

Reality Boy by A. S. King

Please Ignore Vera Dietz is a novel that is universally loved by most people...except me. I wasn't a fan, but when Reality Boy turned up on my doorstep, I knew I'd be reading it. And I can't wait.

Borrowed:

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan 

I'm so curious about this one. I've just heard a LOT about it and as my past two Levithan experiences were phenomenal, I'm hoping this one will be too.

Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick

I adored Quick's Silver Linings Playbook and this seemed to have been blowing everyone's mind, so I knew I had to borrow it from my library. And it was incredible. Brilliant. Heart-breaking. Very highly recommended.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke
I'm really excited to read this one, especially because it's a gothic romance and I love nothing more than that. I keep expecting my copy to arrive in the mail, but until it does, I've borrowed this from the library. You know, just to have it look pretty on my shelves before I delve into it. :)

The Outside (The Hallowed Ones, #2) by Laura Bickle

I think I'll have this one finished by the time this post goes live, but suffice to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it. A wonderful follow-up novel.

Hurt by Tabitha Suzuma

I read Forbidden years ago, so I can't tell if I'll still enjoy Suzuma's writing and work, but I'm determined to try and this one sounds phenomenal.

The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins

...because why not more Higgins? ;)

Bought:

It was my birthday during the last week of August, so while I got a lot of wonderful presents, I didn't receive any books, only because my parents are firm believers in borrowing library books. Hence the reason my friends all splurged to get me B&N and Amazon gift cards, with which I bought the following pretties:

I've read all of these, but they're my absolute favorites and I've already gone back to re-read my favorite passages. I rarely buy books, but when I do, they're the very best.

Well, that's my haul for the month so far! What books have you gotten to kick-off September?
