The Sunday Post (#35) and Showcase Sunday (#21)

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and Showcase Sunday is hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea and inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren. They're a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, highlight our newest books and see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, or bought.

I missed this last week, so this is two weeks of stuff.

Six reasons why libraries (and librarians) are great

Added to my shelves

I went to the OUP blogger evening for Joss Stirling and Nikki Sheehan a couple of weeks ago, and got finished copies of Storm and Stone by Stirling and Who Framed Klaris Cliff? by Sheehan (which I can't find right now). OUP also gave us two new proofs, Replica by Jack Heath, and The Private Blog of Joe Cowley by Ben Davis. I also got a gorgeous notepad in my goody bag, but I seem to have shelved that somewhere I can't find it as well!

I went to the Headline fiction party, and got a goody bag full of stuff as I left. I'm really excited about reading Someone Else's Skin by Sarah Hilary - I've heard a lot of good things about it. I also got a proof of The String Diaries by Stephen Lloyd Jones and a finished copy of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. The goody bag also contained an Oyster card holder, a pencil and post-it note stack for the Headline Eternal brand, and a bar of Tasmina Perry-branded chocolate.

I went to the pre-publication launch party for Joanne M. Harris's The Gospel of Loki, and got to meet her. Harris is one of my favourite authors, so it was very exciting. I got a copy of the new book, which Harris signed for me. I'll be storing it away carefully and continuing to read my proof copy!







And finally, I got sent a finished copy of The Collected Works of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. I love this book, look out for my review tomorrow. I also got a copy of The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld, and proofs of Northanger Abbey by Val McDiermud from Borough Press (thanks) and The Son by Jo Nesbo from Harvill Secker (thanks).
