This post is both Showcase Sunday a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea and Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where you show what books you’ve purchased, gotten from the library, received from giveaway, as gifts or for review. I only received one new book this week but it is one I’ve been hearing many great things about.

Christmas is behind us and I’m actually a tad relieved. My family has been sick off and on since Thanksgiving. I’m ready for us to be well! Since I was feeling so bleh this has two weeks worth of books.

I can’t believe Christmas is right around the corner! I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Last week was a rather stressful week due to my husband getting in a wreck. Thank God he is fine but our car was totaled. We have a plan to deal with it all so things are looking better but I obviously didn’t have a lot of time to read or write reviews. I hope to review Her Dark Curiosity, Red Rising and Avalon next week (fingers crossed!)

Now to the books:

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did here, just a bit of sickness going around but beyond that all was wonderful. I’ve not been updating as frequently with the holidays but hopefully I’ll pick it up again at the beginning of next year.
