Showcase Sunday #52

It's Sunday and that means one thing; Showcase Sunday a fun weekly meme hosted by Vicky over @Books, Biscuits and Tea. It's a great way of showing off what we've bought, borrowed and received this week.

I haven't done of these post in over a month so it's safe to say I'm accumulated quite a few books since then. I've gone on a graphic novel buying spree lately so that's the reason for all the Wonder Woman (one of my faves) books and graphic novels. Also I've been on a contemporary kick and been buying a lot of YA contemporary books. I've read both Burn for Burn and To All the Boys I've Loved Before and really enjoyed both.

March Wrap Up: A Month in Books!

Well I must have turned into some crazy reading machine this month as I managed to finish...19 books. To be honest, 7 of those were graphic novels and 3 were Roald Dahl books but I still managed to get through alot which I'm really really happy with. So here we go! Seems so long ago now since I finished Grim. I really enjoyed some of the strange and fascinating stories in this collection. Esio Trot, The Magic Finger and The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me all took me back to my childhood, and was the perfect light and fun reads that I needed. Plus it helped me get ahead in my reading challenge (so perhaps I cheated a little :P). The Winner's Curse was a wonderful new fantasy story and I really did enjoy it. The three Wonder Woman graphic novels were so much fun and she's quickly become one of my favourite super heroes. I've really been enjoying reading graphic novels lately; I love how the illustrations add that little bit extra to the story. Definitely going to get some more to devour! 

Shadow and Bone and Siege and Storm were amazing. I really really enjoyed these and have already pre-ordered Ruin and Rising. The Assassin's Blade was just amazing. Brilliant novellas. Falling Kingdoms was another great fantasy series and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I picked up Peter Pan as I wanted to have a re-cap of the story before reading Tiger Lily. Loved the re-telling and I thought Peter Pan was okay. Not great but I did enjoy it a little. Anna and the French Kiss completely surprised me. It was such a cute romance story that was really witty and relatable. The Batman New 52 volumes were sooo good and so creepy! And finally the Game of Thrones graphic novels; I knew the story but I loved seeing it through this new medium. Loved the artwork and loved the story all over again.
