I know that Showcase Sunday is a little late this week, and because of that, I have decided to save the eBooks I received until next week's post. My internet has been terrible over the last week, and my book haul video would not upload - I've had to wait until I got to my boyfriend's tonight, to upload it properly.
So in the interest of posting this while it is still Sunday, I am saving them :) They're worth the wait, though!

As always, let me know which books you got this week in the comments below - I always love hearing from you!

eBooks

Luke and Jon by Robert Williams
This one was on the Kindle Daily Deal, on Amazon UK, earlier on in the week, for only 99p, and I thought it sounded like exactly my kind of book. It's a really short one - I think it's only about 190 pages - so it'll be a quick read. It sounds like a really sweet, little coming-of-age story, and I can't wait to read it!

Forgive my Fins by Tera Lynn-Childs:
I've been looking at this book for a little while now, but wasn't sure about whether to go for it or not, but when I saw it on the Kindle summer sale, for 99p, I had to get it.
Fingers crossed this author lives up to her name, because I've heard some great things about this series!

Hard Magic by Laura Anne Gilman:
This one was fairly high up my wishlist, but it wasn't one that I was planning on getting for a while. However, when I saw it on the Kindle Sale for just over £1, I obviously had to get it!

Ascend by Amanda Hocking: You may have noticed that I got the second book in this series, Torn, last week, for 20p from Kindle UK. Well, this week, I found Ascend for 69p!! I love Kindle sales!

The Demoness of Waking Dreams by Stephanie Chong: This is the second book to Where Demons Fear to Tread, which I read last year (you can find the link to my review here). I really enjoyed it, and was looking forward to reading the next book, which I managed to get from the publishers on NetGalley this week. Definitely looking forward to this one!

Pretty Twisted by Gina Blaxill: I've had my eye on this one for a while now, but just hadn't picked it up yet. However, when I was browsing the Kindle sale the other day, I found it for 20p! I can't believe how good some of the prices are at the moment - it's insane. I'm really looking forward to reading this one as well!

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord: A Throne of Glass Novella by Sarah J. Maas: As you may know, I finished reading Throne of Glass last week, and I was fairly impressed with it, overall. One of the things I really wished I knew more about was Celaena's backstory, and these new novellas are exactly that! There are two more after this one, but I thought I'd give this one a shot first, especially as it was only 94p! What am I most excited about with this book, then? We finally get to meet Sam! I'm definitely excited about this one.

Fake Kate by David Wailing: This one was a freebie from the Amazon Kindle UK site. It looks pretty good, and as it was a free book, I really didn't have anything to lose. I'm hoping it will be a good read, all the same, though!

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
Hounded by Kevin Hearne
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
Death Cure by James Dashner
Wintercraft by Jenna Burtenshaw

eBooks

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory:
I got this one as a freebie from Amazon Kindle UK, and I can't wait to read it. It's generally rated really highly, and looks like a fun fantasy read. I think it's exactly the kind of thing that I'll love!

Torn by Amanda Hocking: I wasn't planning on getting this one at all, until I've read Switched, so I know if I'll like it or not, but then I saw that it was going on Amazon Kindle UK for 20p, so I obviously had to snap it up, at that price - it's ridiculously good!

So, I think this is the first week when I've not actually had enough of a pile of books to warrant a book haul video! *Gives self congratulatory pat on the back* My shelves are definitely not suffering much more weight this week! I do have a couple of books to show you though, never fear!

Physical Books

Grave Sight [Graphic Novel]: Vol. 2
& Grave Sight [Graphic Novel]: Vol. 3
by Charlaine Harris et al.

I bought the first volume to this Graphic Novel series last week, and I read it straight away. Charlaine Harris is my favourite author, so when I decided that I wanted to try Graphic Novels, I knew these would be a fairly safe bet. After loving the first volume, I decided that I would go ahead and order the next two into work, and they arrived! I'm going to read all three in one go, and then do an overall review of them all together, but for now, you can check out my review of volume one HERE.

eBooks

Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane
I just happened to stumble on this one, whilst browsing the Summer Reading List on Kindle UK the other day, and found that it was only 99p! I've never tried this author before, but I've heard that she's quite good for fans of Charlaine Harris, so I thought I'd give this one a go for 99p! It's the first in the Downside Ghosts series, and sounds fairly different to anything else I've read, so I'm hoping it'll be a good one!

So that's all I got for this week guys - told you I was restrained!
I know that I haven't done a Showcase Sunday video for a couple of weeks now, even though I had planned to do one last week. Unfortunately I was really ill, and didn't manage to record one then, but I did record a book haul video yesterday, for my book haul for last week, which you can go and watch: The Showcase Sunday that Should've Been.
And definitely let me know what books you got this week in the comments below :)

Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness: This is one that I got to review from the publishers on NetGalley. It's the second book to A Discovery of Witches, and both books look amazing. I want to get around to reading them both really soon!

Here by Denise Grover Swank: This one had actually been on my wishlist for a fairly good time, and then I just happened to stumble across it for free on Amazon the other day! Lady luck was definitely on my side for that one! It sounds amazing, and hopefully I can find time to read it soon.

Once Bitten by Trina M. Lee: This is another that I randomly found for free on Kindle, and I thought it looked like a fun read. At the end of the day, I figured, if it's not good, I didn't pay for it anyway, but if it is, I had a great read, and it cost me nothing. A win-win situation, I think!

Frost by Kate Avery Ellison: I got this one from the author for review this week, as I'm taking part in the blog tour during July. I think I'm right in saying that my day for it is July 27th, so look out for a review then!

 I received this from the author for review earlier this week, in exchange for an honest review, when I have time to read it.
It's apparently self-published by choice, and has some pretty good ratings on goodreads already, so I'm definitely going to be trying to get around to this one before the end of the summer.
