Showcase Sunday #1

Hi everyone! I'd just like to clarify that until this morning I was completely oblivious on the whole Story Siren and plagiarism thing. But I've read up on the whole thing and I'm rather shocked. I won't discuss it much but I think that as a university student plagiarism is drummed into us as something unforgivable and unthinkable even. I'd hate to think someone is copying my work both in uni or on here, on my blog and not giving credit


Anyway, I know I'm behind on the times. So let me just say that I am now going to participate in Showcase Sunday hosted and created by the lovely Vicky over @Books, Biscuits and Tea. I have participated in one of Vicky's previous challenges the Reviewing challenge and really enjoyed it so I'm now going to support this meme. Showcase Sunday is a way of showing of all of the books that you've recently bought, borrowed or received.


Bought:
 The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks (Goodreads)
The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater (Goodreads)
Prince of Thorns - Mark Lawrence (Goodreads)
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters - Ben H. Winters (Goodreads) 

Kindle:
Virgin Widow - Anne O'Brien (Goodreads)

Please leave your links below so that I can check out your Showcase Sunday posts! :)

      Thanks :) I've heard so much about the Scorpio Races in the book blogging community so thought I'd give it a go. I'm following you in return :)

    Oh, The Scorpio Races looks so good! I only read two books by Stifvater but I really like her writing style. ^^ Firstly, I must finish that Werewolves series and then read her other books. :D Anyway, nice haul!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to sit through endless conversations about plagiarism at uni :D I was the same as you - a bit disappointed and well... shocked. Anyway, thank you for the support and joining Showcase Sunday!

    I still need to read The Scorpio Races - it's been on my Kindle for ages but I haven't had time to pick it up yet. (Uni drives me nuts sometimes)
    Great haul! :D xxx

      Uni does have a pesky way of getting in the way of reading the books that I really want to read! Such a pain sometimes. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for hosting a great new meme :)

    I definitely agree with you on the IMM thing!!

    I just added Scorpio Races to my to-read list yesterday - and I haven't seen the Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters! That looks like it'll be great. I've wanted to read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for so long.

    Thank you for stopping by my book haul last week! :)
