Showcase Sunday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Vicky at the Books, Biscuits and Tea blog. It is a meme inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and The Story Siren. The goal of this meme is for us bookish peeps to showcase &
highlight the books that we have either bought, borrowed, won,
downloaded, or received for review the past week :)
Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Review to highlight the books us bloggers have gotten during the week, as well.
I like both memes, so I've decided to take part in both =)

Sidenote: I am a huge Jane Eyre geek. I own the ebook, a paperback, I've seen the recent movie adaptation with Michael Fassbender and the BBC mini series of it and when I saw this gothic paperback. I just had to get it and in blue which is my fave color. In love with this cover.
When it comes to Aleph, so excited that I found it in Spanish. I tend to read Paulo Coelho, only in Spanish. It's a tradition with me. But I feel, like, since he writes in Portuguese and Spanish is so similar and a romance language as well, that the translation is the closest you can get to his original voice :D
The Edge of Never is one the books that I am currently reading. It is a contemporary (realistic fiction) novel that is tremendously good and it's a New Adult book (a genre I am trying to read more of).
And I am SO excited about reading and reviewing Elder. Raine Thomas' books are so addicting. Can't wait to see how the Firstborn series ends!
What book loveliness did you receive this week? :)
You have some awesome books there. The Edge of Never, Evie's Knight and Six Moon Summer all look particularly intriguing. Hope you enjoy them all.

I've yet to read Ordained and it'll be more than likely be next year when I get to read it.
I visited Haworth where the Bronte museum is located and they were hosting an exhibition of costumes from the recent film adaptation of Jane Eyre.
Thank you for visiting my blog and enjoy your reads.
