Showcase Sunday #6



Inspired by Celine from Nyx Book Reviews, I've decided to combine several book haul memes into one post. Welcome to... Stacking the Showcase Sunday Post Shelves with Letterbox Love!

Showcase Sunday is hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea. Stacking the Shelves is hosted at Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post is hosted at Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Letterbox Love is a special British book-haul meme hosted by Lindsey at Narratively Speaking.


New Goodies:




Thanks to Titan Books, Random House UK, Candlemark & Gleam, NetGalley, Dragonfairy Press, and Amy Joy Lutchen for review copies.

    Thank for stopping by :)

    Warm bodies is a fab book, I hope you enjoy it!

    I also hope you enjoyed Of Mice and Men, I did it in English Literature a couple of years ago and I adored it! :D

    Happy reading!

    I didn't realize Warm Bodies was a book. Did you see the movie? I haven't yet, but it looks cute. My Stacking The Shelves post

      Apparently the book is quite different from the movie. Looking forward to seeing what both are like! :-) It does look really good.

    Cute vday card! Warm Bodies I've been curious of since I saw the trailer for the movie. I hear the movie is more comedy than the book, though. Nice haul, Victoria!

      Thanks Giselle! :-) Yes the trailer for the movie really caught my eye too, then when I saw the book I knew I had to read it before seeing the film! :-)

    I like that cover for Of Mice and Men, grim and gray. I am tempted to pick up a copy of Warm Bodies; the movie looks interesting and I've heard the book is good.

      It's a great cover isn't it? Suits the book so well. :-) I'm really looking forward to reading Warm Bodies and then seeing the movie. Got quite a few movies coming out this year that I still need to read the books for! :-)

    OOo Warm Bodies! My boyfriend just read this one recently and really enjoyed it, I'm hoping to borrow it soon. I'll have to check out your review of Dash and Lily.

    I received a Grisha card too. I love it when publishers do sweet things like that! :) Warm Bodies has been right at the top of my wishlist these last few weeks. I plan to read it before the movie (which I've heard is pretty good). Great haul, Victoria! :)
