Showcase Sunday #20


Inspired by Celine from Nyx Book Reviews, I've decided to combine several weekly wrap-up memes into one post. 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.


Last Week:

So last week we had ALL the weather. Wind, storms, rain, hailstones, sunny spells, cold that made me get the wooly winter socks back out, and then a couple of really nice sunny days. Went to a BBQ yesterday and didn't drink enough water in the hot weather, and am now feeling pretty yucky. Today is definitely going to be a lying on the sofa with a book day!

Last week's posts:

 Book Review - Shadows of the Past by Carmen Stefanescu

A Taste of Blood Wine - Book Tour and Short Story Extract

Bout of Books 7.0 Wrap-Up


New Goodies:

Two Diana Wynne Jones! :-)



(this is book 2 of a series I
haven't read yet, so will now have to
keep an eye out for book 1!)


Hope everyone else had a good week. :-)

    Yay! Good finds. I need to start scouting for more of hers it's just so overwhelming how many books I "need" to hunt down/read. D:

      I know, it's crazy isn't it! My 'must track down these books' list is about six times bigger than my 'to read' list, and that's big enough... xD

    I need to read more DWJ. I've read a few, and she's wonderful, with a quirky, decidedly original imagination and voice.

      Agreed! She has a really unique style. Always makes me smile when I begin one of her books. :-)

    I was on the phone to mum earlier and she said the week started off with snow and ended in summer! Crazy.

    I haven't DWJ in years but I enjoyed her when I did. I should go to the library and re-read and maybe read some that I haven't yet.

    I hope the weather is better this week, and you enjoyed your day on teh couch reading.
