Showcase Sunday #51

 Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme held by Books, Biscuits and Tea. It allows fellow bloggers to show off any books or bookish things they've compiled over the week.

Hey friends, how was your week? Work started to pick up for me, so that means less time to blog during the day. Ha ha. The weather was also the hottest it's been this year. Thanks for showing up so late summer. Although it was quick. Now we're back to cooling down. We'll probably have fall pretty early this year. But good news is I 'll be in Cuba this time next week. It's a work trip, but who cares. It's not here!
Oh man, guys, there is soooo many books this week. Good news is a good lot of them I've read and was just picked up a different edition or whatever. Although September and October is not good on the wallet. So many damn new releases. And I want 90% of them. *sigh* I'm going to try something a little different this week and let you know where I bought them and a short reason why next to the Goodreads link of said title. I'm thinking that'll make more sense and look a little cleaner. Let me know what you think. :)

I couldn't help it. Look at all them! They're so so so beautiful together. I can't wait till Amazon has the new US hardcover is stock. The one Bloomsbury is re-printing with the amazing paperback cover. Then they will truly match. Ah, just so lovely! <3 <3
Anyhow, what did you guys get this week?

Happy reading!

  1. HAHA! I LOVE THE BOOK PORN!!! I have the paperbacks but didn't get the hardbacks because I hated the Throne of Glass hardback. So now I know they are releasing a matching one, I think I need the hardbacks. They are just so pretty!!!
