Showcase Sunday (3)


Showcase Sunday is a meme hosted by Vicky @ Books, Biscuits and Tea where you can showcase your newest books and book related swag for that week and share it with everyone.

This week I got in some preorders and a book that I ordered from the US. I love when orders finally come through :)


Blood of the Sorceress is the last book in Maggie Shayne's portal series. I really loved the first book and I've been saving the second until I had this. The trilogy tells the story of ancient Babylonian witches who have been reincarnated in our world and the rising of a dark force the world has never known.

Another preorder I am totally psyched to get reading is The Archived by Victoria Schwab. I have heard awesome pre-release reviews and the book itself is gorgeous. I can't wait to get reading and this is definitely going in my February TBR stack...if I don't get to it this month that is :)

Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star is a book I heard about a while ago and then looked up again after signing up for the Classic Double Challenge. I managed to find a cheap new copy which has just arrived from the US, although I'm really peeved at that stock sticker on the spine as it won't come off. It sounds like a really fun read.

So what have you got to showcase this week?

    The Archived is one I really want to get, I forgot it was coming out when I made my pre-order for Boundless a while back! Can't wait to see what you think of it :)

    Oh! Jealous of The Archived. I only got to read a sample of that and really liked the insight into the opening and the world building in there. Lucky you. :o)

    Argh I hate it when you can't get stickers off books. Sometimes you can get them off with a bit of help from a hairdrier.

      I pretty much wanted it for the title. The storyline sounds interesting, but reading a book called Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star was just too tempting to deny :)

      Thanks for stopping by Victoria!

    Ha, Fitzwilliam Darcy: Rock Star sounds pretty unusual! I hope you enjoy it, along with all your other books. (And I hope you somehow manage to unpeel the sticker!)
