Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky over at Books, Biscuits & Tea where we
showcase all of our recent book grabs.
I only received three books this week and were so excited about them, I managed to read two already!
Without further-a-do, here are this week's books! :)
For Review:
Spy for The Queen of Scots by Theresa Breslin:
This one actually came through the mail yesterday as a surprise - I wasn't expecting it at all! So it's safe to say I don't know too much about it. It looks interesting though so I'm excited to see what I think! Huge thanks to Random House for sending me this copy! :)
The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau (ARC):
I'd actually read mixed reviews on this one but I came to the decision that I wanted to try it out for myself. I mean, every book deserves a chance, y'know! ;) In the end I really did enjoy it! My full review will be up sometime this week. Huge thanks to Templar for my review copy!
Purchased:
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey:
I can't even begin to describe to you my feelings when this book came through the door. I mean, there are such amazing reviews of this book floating around the blogosphere and so I knew I just had to have it! As soon as I had it in my hands, I tore through it and even though, admittedly, I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked, it was still a great read! :D
So that's all the books I got this week. What about you? Leave links in the comments and I'll stop by as soon as I can! :)
Happy Reading,
Rachel xoxo

Woo! The 5th Wave! I got it this week too! The Testing looks interesting, but kinda looks like a Hinger Games copy cat. I'd love to give it a try though! :)

My Showcase Sunday if you'd like a look
Ohh THE 5TH WAVE!! I haven't found that book in my town :'( I've heard a few things about The Testing and even though I'm not that interested in it...I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Maybe your review can change my opinion ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved The 5th Wave...but it's not your average YA style so I can understand it not being to everyone's tastes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome books you got there! I am planning on getting The 5 Wave as well because a lot of people whom I know have already got it so thought I'd give it ago too ;) And The Testing is also on my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! And hope you enjoy reading them all <3
