Showcase Sunday #24

Showcase Sunday is hosted by Vickie at Books Biscuits and Tea. The aim of this event is to highlight 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 each week.

I could literally took about all these books for ages, but I will try and keep it short as don't want to start waffling. I was resent The Little Old Lady as I was right in the middle of reading it and it was missing about 50 pages! I was most disappointed as I was really enjoying it! But they very kindly sent me another copy. Another Day Another Night has a gorgeous cover and it's set in Brighton which is so close to where I live. I love novels where you accurately able to picture the scenes. It also covers the topic of Mental Health and is going to be available at Waterstones to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week. 

I was incredible excited to get a signed copy of Collette McBeth's Precious Thing. I have heard millions of good things about it, so hopefully can start reading soon! If you follow my Twitter you may have seen some news about Julie Cohen's Dear Thing, which I saw in WH Smith and they weren't supposed to put up yet as even the author isn't allowed to talk about it yet. I don't want to say again on here in case I spoil it, but you have the option to find out what it is. I am also part of the blog tour for this and will have three copies to give away.

Getting Rid of Matthew is the first ever World Book Night Book I have received so many thanks to Zarina for giving me a copy. We went to an event called The One Big Book Launch on Wednesday and got to listen to some great new authors read extracts from their books. This is where we met the author of Last Bus to Coffeeville and met the lovely people of No Exit Press. I will do another post to talk more about it.

Sorry I meant to keep that short but didn't really succeed! What books have you all bought/borrowed/received this week? 

Have a lovely Sunday :)
