Showcase Sunday #9


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'm trying to cut down on book buying/ galley requesting as I'll have to throw myself into course reading very soon and want to get all these reviews up and running by then :( boo, is there a book rehab?

Books:
13 (Women of the Otherworld, #13) 

NetGalley:
    The Werewolf of Paris

Kindle:
Oryx And Crake
I'm waiting for either an approval or decline on another 3 galleys but so far so good with the cutting back! :) And, Atwood is a potential course text so even attempting a bit of early reading. Brownie points surely? So, what've you guys been buying this week?

    Looks like a quiet week, but I understand the need for quiet weeks! haha.

    13 looks very interesting.

    And I have to say, I'm doing the same with cutting down on buying/requesting (or trying to!) haha.

    Hi Leah. Unfortunately, there's no book rehab. The answer to book addiction is to buy and read more books HAHAHA (evil laugh from a book addict).. LOL.

    Well, you really have a great collection here. I think I'm interested in Oryx and Crake. I'll check that one out.
