Showcase Sunday (#7)

Posted September 30, 2012 by Emma in Blog / 11 Comments

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits & Tea.
Its an opportunity to highlight 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 each week.
This week I received:
Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black – I saw this on a couple of ‘WoW”s over the past few weeks and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC! I was so happy… Isn’t the cover beautiful, I literally awed in responce to receiving this book.
I also received from NetGalley:
 
The Gathering Darkness by Lisa Collicutt – This one I requested purely for the description of the book… I really liked it and I was very excited to receive.
Running in the Dark by Regan Summers – I think you can see a pattern in the books I receive, haha! This really appealed to me. 
I also bought:

Promise by Kristie Cook – This book looked really good and the cover is beautiful and guess what… It was FREE!!!

Sorry guys, its not a big haul this week. I have just finished all my English texts and I have started to go through all my NetGalley requests, slowly but I’m enjoying them. I think the biggest showcase has to be Dance of Shadows… I was so excited!!!


So a BIG Thank you to Bloomsbury and NetGalley!

Did you receive Dance of Shadows? Have you read these? I would like to know what you thought!
Are you taking part? Leave me link, I would love to see what you received this week.

Happy Reading!
