Well, I can't say I wasn't excited for September - a lot of good books are coming out this month, and I bought way more than I should. Oh, well.

Origin, by Jessica Khoury

Archangel's Storm, by Nalini Singh

The Dark Light, by Sara Walsh

I finally got a copy of Origin - I've been dying to read this book. The setting is what attracts me most in this novel. I mean, come on! Amazon jungle! \o 

Nalini Singh is an awesome writer, and I fell in love with her Guild Hunter series. Now, however, each book in the series is about a different angel, and I don't like that. The first three books were about Elena and Raphael, and I still wish she'd keep writing about them. I'm not overly enthusiastic about Archangel's Storm, but you never know!

The Dark Light sounds so good (also... hot cover). 

And last, but totally not least, Tiger's Destiny, by Colleen Houck. Words cannot describe how excited I am to read this book. The Tiger's Curse series is fantastic, and I cannot wait to see what's going to happen in the fourth installment.

I got some really good books this week, as well as... well, some not so good ones. Overall, I'm happy about everything that I got.

 The Iron King, by Julie Kagawa

The Iron Daughter, by Julie Kagawa

The Iron Knight, by Julie Kagawa

Finally - finally! - I own the entire Iron Fey series. I read this series last year on my e-reader, and I always wanted to have physical copies of it. There was a bookstore here with all the books in stock, and I just couldn't pass this opportunity. I'm re-reading The Iron Daughter right now, and boy, let me tell you, this series is as good as I remembered!

The Iron Legends, by Julie Kagawa

Foretold, edited by Carrie Ryan

Vanquished, by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié

Two anthologies that I've been looking forward to for months now. The Iron Legends was pure perfection, but Foretold was a complete disappointment, unfortunately. I hope Vanquished will be as good as I'm hoping. I'm not a big fan of this trilogy, but Crusade was fantastic, so fingers crossed that this one will be good!

Over You, by Emma McLaughlin

Heaven, by Alexandra Adornetto

White Cat, by Holly Black 

Over You sounds ridiculously cute, and I adore the cover. I really need some fluffly contemporary novel right now ^-^ I tried to read Heaven, since I enjoyed Halo and Hades, but I couldn't get past page 70. My taste in books must've changed a lot, because honestly, this book was awful. I've heard really good things about White Cat. Really hoping it'll live up to its hype!

So, that was all that I got this week. What about you guys? Tell me in the comments, or leave me a link to your post, and I'll check it out! :D

This week was FANTASTIC in books. There's an event happening in Sao Paulo about books. It's like a BEA, but everybody can go, the books aren't free, and there aren't ARCs there. Kind of like a giant bookstore, where each publisher has its own stand and features. I went there on tuesday, and I freaked out. Seriously. I bought a lot of books, all of them in Portuguese:

Graceling, by Kristin Cashore

Starters, by Lissa Price

Wake, by Amanda Hocking

A Long, Long Sleep, by Anna Sheehan

Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver

Pure, by Julianna Baggott

I know this doesn't exactly fit in this post, but I just thought I'd share a picture with you guys. You know Game of Thrones, right? Well... The Iron Throne was there, on the Game of Thrones' publisher's stand, and I sat on it. I sat on the Iron Throne! And I know this isn't a huge deal, not really, but for me, someone who loves the tv show and doesn't miss a single episode, it is. I felt like I really was on King's' Landing.

I also got something that's more book-related than the picture above. A necklace with the Hunger Games' mockingjay. A friend of mine bought it recently, and he sold it to me. 

And then, to make matters worse (or better, I guess) I got some ebooks as well:

Innocent Darkness, by Suzanne Lazear

The Demigod Diaries, by Rick Riordan

The Treachery of Beautiful Things, by Ruth Frances Long

So, these are all the book-related things that I got this week. I can't wait to get started on these books, especially Innocent Darkness, since I've been craving for it to be released. The Demigod Diaries was a really cute anthology, featuring a Percy and Annabeth novella, some games, and a novella writen by Rick Riordan's son. It was plenty of fun, and very quick to read. 

What about you guys? What did you get this week? Tell me in comments, or leave me a link, and I'll check it out!

So, this week I got some really, really fantastic books. I think I got a little out of line, but that's fine. My birthday was tuesday, so I deserved it :P

The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires, by Molly Harper

Pushing the Limits, by Katie McGarry (finished copy)

Survive, by Alex Morel

From Netgalley:

 

The Lost Prince, by Julie Kagawa

Pushing the Limits, by Katie McGarry

A big thank you to Netgalley, and Harlequin, for providing me an E-arc of The Lost Prince and Pushing the Limits!

I sincerely have no words to express my love for Pushing the Limits. I read it this book, and it's simply the best contemporary novel I've ever read. I'll probably post my review on tuesday. 

I also can't wait to read The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires. I adore Molly Harper's Nice Girls series, and I'm sure I'll like this novel, too. 

And I won't even get started on The Lost Prince. I can't wait to start reading this. I'm a big fan of Julie Kagawa, and her Iron Fey series, so this must be just as good!

 I only got a couple of books this week, since my TBR pile is huge. Like, huuuuuuge. 

Struck, by Jennifer Bosworth

Something Strange and Deadly, by Susan Dennard

The Assassin's Curse, by Cassandra Rose Clarke

Thank you to Netgalley and Angry Robot for sending me an E-ARC of this for review. I can't wait to dig into this book, it sounds fantastic! 

I've seen mixed reviews of Struck on Goodreads, so I'm not sure I'll like it, but I'll give it a shot. The concept of a girl addicted to lightning sounds interesting. 

Anyway, what did you guys get this week?

So, it's been a while since my last Showcase Sunday post, but to be honest, I wasn't in the mood. I did get a couple of great books this week, and I'm excited to share what I got with you :D

   

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.1)

The Assassin and the Desert, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.2)

The Assassin and the Underworld, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.3)

The Assassin and the Empire, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.4) 

Shadows Cast by Stars, by Catherine Knutsson

So Close to You, by Rachel Carter

For Darkness Shows the Stars, by Diana Peterfreund

Shadow and Bone, by Leigh Bardugo

Darkness Before Dawn, by J.A. London

The Golden Lily, by Richelle Mead

Something Like Normal, by Trish Doller

The Demon Catchers of Milan, by Kat Beyer (from Netgalley)

I really can't wait to read all these titles, especially the Throne of Glass novellas. I recently heard they were all out, and I had to read them. Hopefully I'll get to know the characters better before Throne of Glass comes out. 

Unfortunately, I can't say I'm that excited to read The Golden Lily. Vampire Academy is one of my favorite series of all times, but Richelle Mead disappointed me in Bloodlines. The story was so... so boring, and I disliked Sydney as a main character. I really hope I'll like The Golden Lily better, but I'm not very optimistic. 

Anyway, what did you get this week? :D

Taken at Dusk, by C.C. Hunter (Shadow Falls Camp #3)

Enchanted, by Alethea Kontis

Lover Unleashed, by J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood) - In Portuguese

Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare - In Portuguese

I honestly cannot wait to read all these books. I already read Clockwork Angel in English last year, but I'll re-read it soon. 

Well, what did you get this week? :D

Revived, by Cat Patrick

Sweet Evil, by Wendy Higgins

Insurgent, by Veronica Roth

 

 Silence, by Michelle Sagara

When You Were Mine, by Rebecca Serle

Hemlock, by Katherine Peacock

City of Lost Souls, by Cassandra Clare

The Last Princess, by Galaxy Craze

Underworld, by Meg Cabot

It's official: May is my favorite month. Just look at all the books that got out this past week. City of Lost Souls, guys. City of Lost Souls. I waited a year to read this book, and now that I have, indeed, read it, I gotta wait two years for City of Heavenly Fire. When You Were Mine sounds adorable, and I love the cover. It's simple, but it gives us a hint of what the story will be like. However, as much as I'm excited to read Underworld, I gotta say I hate this cover. I don't know, the dress just didn't look well on that model. 

What did you get this week?
