Showcase Sunday #54

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'm back! For over two months I've really slacked with the whole blogging and reviewing thing with going on holiday, starting back to work and stuff. Trying to find the time and getting in the mindset has been a little tough lately and I haven't really been doing great on the reading front either. Anyway here are the books I've collected over the past few months. I'm really trying to cut down on book buying (which is really hard!) and maybe a few of the books here hints at what I'm planning for next year!

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.
