The Sunday Post (#15) and Showcase Sunday (#1)


Inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren, 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 eReaders each week.

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

I've also decided to take part in Showcase Sunday, hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea and inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren. Its aim is to highlight our newest books and see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, or bought.

    1. Ooh, that's good to hear. One of the cover quotes says I'll like it if I liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, so I have high hopes!

    1. I confess I'd not heard of any of them before, but I'm always willing to give unknown books a chance.
