'Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.'- Angela Carter

Showcase Sunday #8

It's the time of the week again where we all get to show off our lovely book buys, freebies and books up for review. Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicki over at Books, Biscuits and Tea, and here is where I should be showing off all the lovely buys this week. I've gone a bit mental with books this week. Honestly, my to-read pile is getting ridiculous. Far too click-happy on NetGalley - I need to stop myself!

Books:
Fingersmith The House At Riverton Fire (Graceling Realm, #2)

NetGalley:
The Bloodgate Warrior (The Maya Bloodgates, #2) Mockingbird (Miriam Black, #2) Nexus (Supernova Saga, #3) The Summer Country Tab Bennett and the Inbetween

I'm hoping to win on my Ebay bid of Kelley Armstrong's '13' tonight as well, so fingers crossed for another to add to my pile! :) What have you guys been buying?

    Fire's great, it took me a while to get into it for some reason, but when I did it was as good as Graceling...my favourite's Bitterblue :-)
    Happy reading.

    I haven't read any of those books, but they all look fantastic, really diverse and interesting! I loved the one Waters book I've read, so I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think of Fingersmith!
