The rules are simple and it is a really fun way to showcase your books and see what other bloggers are excited about this week! Not to mention the fact that it is a good way to interact with and get to know other bloggers!
here are the books i added to my shelves this week:
bought:
I have been wanting to read The Glass Arrow for ages so I finally caved and bought it! I also finally bought Magic Breaks (I am not sure why I didn’t purchases this much earlier as I am a huge fan of the Kate Daniels series). Vanishing Girls looks like an incredible read too – the reviews I have read so far are pretty overwhelmingly positive.
Mosquitoland looks awesome and I also couldn’t resist picking up a few bargains – both Black Wood and Chase the Dark were on sale for Kindle and they both look pretty great.
Another Johnnies book – yay! I also really liked the look of Merrick and it’s sequel William and I have heard a lot of great things about John Wiltshire so I thought it was time I picked up one of his books. 😉
arc’s:
I am really excited about getting approved for The Boy Next Door and I think the biography about John Hughes should be really interesting. I was a huge fan of John Hughes as a teenager (The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful were some of my favourite movies) so I think this book should be an enjoyable read. Love is the Drug also looks really intriguing.
other purchases:
Not strictly book-related (well, Outlander kind-of is) but I really wanted to share these recent purchases with you all!
Really excited to watch the first eight episodes of Outlander again. I was really surprised by how much I liked this series but then again, it is Ronald D. Moore, the man responsible for the revamped Battlestar Galactica and some of my favourite episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
My other half also bought me a build-a-bear chick which I have named Violet (because she is purple duh, I’m so original!) – this technically was for Easter but I got her a little early. 😉
Finally, I got myself some more Concrete Minerals make-up. These two sets Naughty & Nice and Sugar & Spice have some really gorgeous eye-shadow colours. I am so glad I discovered this range!
I have not been on my blog much over the last couple of weeks. This flu is really kicking my arse. I just can’t seem to shake it off. I am really behind with some of my posts and I have been dreadful at keeping up with any comments (apologies!) but I am hoping to get caught up over the next couple of days. Being sick really sucks though!
Here is a picture of me looking really pathetic and feeling completely and utterly sorry for myself (a good patient I do not make). Nevermind, I think I may finally be on the mend (or I hope so at least)!
Hope you have all had a good week.
Bye for now!
Hope you get better soon. It’s never fun to be sick. I also hope that you love all your new books this week. They look amazing.

Thanks! I make a really terrible patient to be honest – I think everyone is hoping I get better soon lol. 😉
At least I have plenty of books to see me through! Hope you enjoy your haul too – I have been meaning to read C.L. Wilson for years – looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this book. 🙂
Great haul! I really want to read The Vanishing Girls! Hope you feel better soon and enjoy all your new books 🙂

Thanks! The Vanishing Girls does look amazing. 🙂 I hope I feel better soon too – I hate being ill.
Awesome haul – I have had my eye on At The Water’s Edge – looking forward to seeing what you think of it. 🙂
Aw, get better soon. Great selection of books! I’ve been meaning to watch Outlander- seems like a great series.
Thanks! Outlander is really awesome. I haven’t read the books (yet) but the series is definitely worth watching. 🙂
You read M/M romance too? 😀 Have you read Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat?? BEST M/M ROMANCE SERIES EVER.
I kinda DNF’d The Glass Arrow but I hope it will work better for you 🙂
Oh, I definitely want to read Mosquitoland! It has such an amazing cover!!
Enjoy!!
I certainly do! I haven’t read Captive Prince yet but I do own it – I’ve been holding off reading it until the third book comes out but so many people have recommended the series to me I am starting to reconsider that decision lol. 😉
Another great series I would recommend is In the Company of Shadows – it’s a free read and it is incredible! Absolutely gut-wrenching at times though!
I have heard mixed reviews about The Glass Arrow but I’m hoping I will still enjoy it – fingers crossed anyway. 🙂
Mosquitoland looks like the kind of quirky read I will adore – and you’re right, the cover is fantastic!!
I’m planning to read The Glass Arrow too; I hope you’ll enjoy it! I THINK I’ve started the Kate Daniels series at some point, but it’s been so long I can’t really remember much of anything. I definitely know I didn’t hate it though. 😀 Get well soon!
Thanks – hope you enjoy it too! Lol, the Kate Daniels series is pretty long – I’ve totally forgot what happened in which book. 😉
Cheers for the get well wishes – I am starting to feel a little better. 🙂
You have a great HAUL! Enjoy

Thanks – I certainly hope I will enjoy them all. 😉

Feel better
Thanks! I am starting to feel a bit better. 🙂
Ugh, I hate it when these damn viral things come along and knock the stuffing out of you! My dad and I have a stomach bug which is making us feel sorry for ourselves! Hope you feel better soon!
I know, I just shook it off and then it came back even worse. 🙁
Stomach bugs are the worst – there is absolutely nothing you can do for them either. Hope you and your dad feel better soon. <3
Hope you’re feeling better. Being sick is awful. 🙁
Thanks lovely. *hugs* 🙂
