Showcase Sunday (21)


Hosted by the lovely Books, Biscuits and Tea, the aim of Showcase Sunday 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 e-readers each week.
 
BOUGHT:


 
Black City (Black City, #1)Captivated by YouDizzyMake it Last (Friends & Lovers, #1)




   







Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My favourite book of 2012 (along with Onyx!) I own an ARC and already read this three times but obviously since it's JLA I have to have the finished paperback. And guys, it's so pretty pretty!
And you know what the best bit is? I'm quoted in it. AHHHHHHH!!!
I'm actually on a freaking book! THE TOP QUOTE. Like, flip the next page and there's my blog name! Right, this may not seem such a big deal to some people, but holy hell it means so much to me! Not only is this the first book my review is in, but it's the fact that it's DEITY and it's by JLA. Couldn't get much better than that!!
Black City by Elizabeth Richards
Really excited to read this! Heard mixed reviews but hopefully I end up liking it.
Captivated By You by Diane Alberts
Already read this. A very fun, short, romantic read. :)
Dizzy by Nyrae Dan and Jolene Perry
This will be the second Nyrae Dawn book that I've read. Ever since I read Charade, I became quite obsessed with her books. Currently reading this.
Make It Last by Bethany Lopez
Already read this. Review coming next week. It was alright but some parts were quite unrealistic.
 
FOR REVIEW:


ReAwakened (Angel Creek, #2)A Shimmer of Angels (Angel Sight, #1)Ashen Winter (Ashfall, #2)

ReAwakened by Ada Adams
Thanks to author Ada Adams and blogger/assistant Jessirae for this e-arc! Review for blog tour coming soon!
Shimmer of Angels by Lisa M. Basso
I'm such a cover whore. I love this cover so I just HAD to request this from Netgalley. Looking forward to it though. Oh, have any of you guys read this? Thoughts?
Ashen Winter by Mike Mullin
Will read soon. I've got the first book but haven't started it yet so :/

Thank you to Valerie at Stuck In Books for hosting the DeityJLA twitter party and for these lovely JLA swag! I can't quite remember the question but my correct answer was 'apple pie'. LOL. I did so bad at the books questions. Totally need a reread.
I got: Elixir postcard, Apollyon guitar pick and 2 Deity bookmarks. :D
