Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky 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 the past week, I just couldn't hold myself long enough from requesting ARCs. Yup, I really need Hermoine's time turner now.
Bought

1. The Iron Fey Boxset by Julie Kagawa
This is a risky purchase because I only have read The Iron King and Winter's Passage. But I hope it worth it!
p/s: I seriously don't know that they included a poster with Puck and Ash on it. It's not like I'm going to paste it anywhere but heheh...damn, Ash looks yummy.
2. Brightest Kind of Darkness (Brightest Kind of Darkness #1) by P.T. Michelle
Last time I checked, it wasn't sold for $0.99. So, when Amazon send me recommendation for this book and I saw it is now sold for $0.99, I couldn't resist anymore.

Review Copies
1. The Gathering Darkness by Lisa Collicutt
I just couldn't stop requesting titles from Curiosity Quills Press! Their books usually have good cover.
2. Broken by A.E. Rought
I vowed that I will not request this but I did. I feel like flogging myself in public. Bad kitty! Very bad kitty!
3. Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms #1) by Morgan Rhodes
I heard heads are flying even within the first 50 pages? Whoaaa...sounds like something I like to read! ^_^
4. The Sun Dwellers (The Dwellers #3) by David Estes (Beta version)
The epic finale of the best dytopian series I've read this year. I'm half afraid to start this because I don't want it to end!

Freebies
1. Inhale (Just Breathe #1) by Kendall Grey
People said that they'll be sex scene in this one? Yup, definitely a deterrent. I hope there's more to the story than the steamy scene.
2. Wander Dust (The Seraphina Parrish Trilogy #1) by Michelle Warren
This has been in my TBR list for years! No excuse for putting this off any longer.
Bookmarks

Bonus time! I went for sightseeings around South Australia last week and bought these! Not that I often read physical books any longer but bookmarks as souvenir are nice, aren't they? Cheap and practical. :)
1. Australian Arid Lands Botanical Gardens
2. Adelaide Zoo (Giant Panda - Funi)

Haha...I know..I'm a victim of cover lust too until now.
Some great books Zuleeza, there have been so many great books up on netgalley that it's so hard not to keep requesting! Yay for Wander Dust that's another book I've been meaning to start for ages! And those bookmarks are so cute! Happy reading! :)

Hi! I welcome comments and feedback! But because I suck at HTML code, I don't know how to add reply button to each comment (I tried googled it but I think this template doesn't allow such change), so I will be very lousy at keeping track of the comments but it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate your comments! ^_^
