Stacking the Shelves / Showcase Sunday #25

Showcase Sunday is hosted by Vicky @Books, Biscuits, and Tea and Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and they both give bloggers the opportunity to share the books they have received in the past week.

 

This week I received lots of books from NetGalley and Edelweiss, though currently only half of them have downloaded to my kindle because my NetGalley account always has issues. As usual if you click on the book cover you will be taken to its Amazon page.

 

Review

 

 Both of these are New Adult novels. Take Me Now is a contemporary romance that just released and The Apollo Academy is a Sci-Fi that releases tomorrow!

 

 

 

Netgalley/Edelweiss

These are a mixture of YA and NA novels that I think all look amazing. I am especially excited for Tigress as it is a sequel, Foreplay as it is a New Adult novel by a YA author I love and Just Like Fate because the synopsis sounds so fascinating.

 

 

 

The books not yet downloaded..

 

 

 

 Freebies

I downloaded WAY too many freebies this week. Quite a lot of these are still free, remember clicking on the book cover will take you directly to its Amazon page. I have read Dying To Forget already as it was a short, quick read.

 

 

Bought

 

I bought the next two books in the Dying To Forget series after having read the first as a freebie.

 

 

So what do you think? Are there any books you have read or plan to read? Feel free to link to your Stacking the Shelves or equivalent post in the comments.

Cover Reveal - Patch Up

Today I am revealing the cover for NA contemporary novel, Patch Up by Stephanie Witter. I was lucky enough to beta read this book back in January and February of this year. I am so happy that it is releasing soon as I loved it and can't wait for all of you to be able to read it. Patch Up is perfect for fans of Hopeless by Colleen Hoover, Damaged by H.M. Ward and Wait For You by J Lynn.

 

Patch Up by Stephanie Witter

Synopsis

Skye followed her long time boyfriend to Seattle for their first year of college, but he dumped her after only a week. The relationship brought only pain and destruction in Skye's life, and yet, she can't bring herself to open up and live her life.
 "What if I am already broken into pieces?"

She hates to be touched, hiding under her oversized shirts and behind her wild frizzy hair. Even her bubbly roommate can't reach her. And yet ...
"I'm the guy who knows how you can hurt so much that your insides feel like they're cut and bleeding."

The tall, handsome, and tattooed TA in her psychology class changes everything when he literally collides with her and confronts her. For the first time in a long time, she wants to try and open up to this guy whose dark, intense eyes can't hide his own pain despite his dazzling smile getting to her. However, just when she's starting to live again, her ex-boyfriend comes back, breaking her time and time again, making it all the more complicated.
She wants to fight for herself and for this building thing with the TA, even when he pushes her away, but can two broken people patch each other up? "I never thought colliding with someone could change lives, but it is possible."

Who Wants To Be My New Guest Reviewer?

So, as you may know, recently I have been considering maybe taking on a co-blogger to share Bookish Treasures with. In fact, on Tuesday I wrote a post about co-blogging vs. going it alone.

From all the discussions and thinking it through I have decided not to get a co-blogger just yet. However I have decided to take on another guest reviewer kind of like Hannah who you will have occasionally seen a review from.

So, that means I want you! I am looking for someone who can review one book a week with the potential to write the occasional discussion post if they wish and possibly even get involved with blog features such as Waiting on Wednesday. If we get on well and things work out then the guest reviewer could possibly become a full co-blogger with administrative rights to the blog.

Are you interested yet? At the moment my blog focuses on mainly YA and NA books so you must be passionate about at least one of those categories but you can review almost all genres. You can review books you have obtained yourself and I also have a large virtual pile of books I have received to review that you can have access to. You also should be able to request review copies from publishers.

My only solid requirements: You must speak fluent language, no author bashing in reviews, absolutely NO PLAGIARISM of other peoples reviews.

Also, at some point I plan to have my blog redesigned so don't be put off if you don't like the look of my blog :P If you are a co-blogger by that point we can decide what we would like together. I am also considering the possibility of switching to wordpress but for now I am sticking with blogger. This is another thing that can be discussed if you become a co-blogger.

If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will answer it the best I can. Oh and to all you people who blog already, please can you share this with people you think may be interested. Thank you!

If you are interested please complete the form below. This will be open for a few weeks (or longer if no one is interested).



If you are having problems with the form you can also access it via this link.

Cover reveal - Torch

Today I am revealing the cover for Torch, a New Adult contemporary novel by Cambria Herbert. I think the cover looks amazing and as a fan of Cambria's Young Adult books I can't wait to read this.

Torch by Cambria Herbert

Synopsis

***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***

If you can’t take the heat… stay away from the flame.

Katie Parks has been on her own since the age of fifteen. All she’s ever wanted is a place to call her own—a life that is wholly hers that no one can take away. She thought she finally had it, but with the strike of a single match, everything she worked so hard for is reduced to a pile of smoking ash. And she almost is too.

Now she’s being stalked by someone who’s decided it’s her time to die. The only thing standing in the path of her blazing death is sexy firefighter Holt Arkain.

Katie’s body might be safe with Holt… but her heart is another story.

As the danger heats up, sparks fly and the only thing Katie knows for sure is that her whole life is about to go up in flames.

Torch releases on August 23rd
