Showcase Sunday

Yes, it is me again back with another book haul - I know the other girls have been picking up books too - do you want me to get them involved in Showcase Sunday? Here are what I am adding to my bookshelves this week...


Ten - Gretchen McNeil - I received this and read it the day it arrived. This has been on my wishlist for a very long time so I had to finally buy it off Amazon. I loved it but think I would have loved it more had I not read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie before it. Full review to come soon.

Resist - Sarah Crossan - The second book in the Breathe series, I had to pick it up to find out what happened next. I didn't even realise this was already out until Megan Olivier over on Youtube told me. Oops!

The Girl Who Played with Fire - Stieg Larsson - I read the first in the Millennium Trilogy and loved it but hadn't yet picked up the next two books. I saw the two I needed for 70p each and picked them up as I thought it was such a bargain. They are a little beaten up but it just shows how loved they are!

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest -Stieg Larsson - As before, 70p - it could hardly be passed up!

Beauty - Louise Mensch - I won this from Goodreads the other week. I am not a big fan of Louise Mensch as a former politician however I love her books as Louise Bagshawe so hopefully I will love this and not let my dislike of her as a person overshadow it.

Map My Heart - Dominic Evans- I also won this, this time from Twitter. I wasn't really sure what I had won when they announced me as a winner and this seems interesting at first glance. Almost like a Wreck This Journal but all about love. I love something different so will be interesting to use this!

I am linking up to Books, Biscuit & Tea's Showcase Sunday linky. What have you been reading lately?

  8. Oh you'll really like the next two books in the Stigg Larsson books. Those got me started reading other Scandinavian crime novels.
