Hello and welcome to Showcase Sunday. Inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren, the aim of Showcase Sunday is to highlight our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week. For more information about how this feature works and how to join in, click here.
This week on Books, Biscuits, and Tea
This week was a little bit quiet because as I mentioned last week, Bout of Books 5.0 kicked off on Monday and I decided to take some time off and read two of my own books for a change. I was starting to feel quite overwhelmed by all the deadlines, review copies and blog tours and I needed some time off – and it did help! I finished In The Woods by Tana French the other day (you can read my review here) and it was fantastic! Then I re-read Marian Keyes’s Watermelon which is -of course- also brilliant so all in all, it was a great week. 
Incoming books
The Twitter Diaries by Georgie Thompson (won)
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry (won)
Once again, no purchased items on the list (I’m still trying to cut back on buying new books and finish my review copies first) which is great! But I was lucky enough to win a copy of The Twitter Diaries on -wait for it- Twitter, which sounds like an interesting read! Just like Pushing the Limits – everyone seems to love it and I’ve read so many fantastic reviews about it in the past few weeks that I can’t wait to read it. Many thanks to Bloomsbury and Mira Ink for the two books!
How was your week and how did you get on with your Bout of Books (or other read-a-thon) goals? Have you read any of these two books? What did you guys get? As always, make sure to leave a link to your own Showcase Sunday post in the linky below and feel free to leave a comment after linking up. Have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Great little haul there.
“Pushing The Limits” is on my radar as a book to get my hands on in the next couple of weeks, hopefully before I go to London next weekend so I can add it to the stuff I want to read on the coach.
Great post.

I like quiet book weeks too, I had one this week which was great, as it gives you the chance to catch up on review copies! I’ve nearly finished my 3rd review book for review copy clean up which is great as I only signed up this week! I’ll hopefully reach my target this week! Hope you enjoy both your reads, the Twitter Diaries sounds interesting!
Jasprit recently posted..Showcase Sunday #7
Me too! And you’re doing GREAT!!! 3 books already? I’m reading my 4th book at the moment – I took a break last week and read two of my own books to help me with this reading slump I’ve been in.
Glad you were able to take a break and read your own books this week and great new additions!

I loved Pushing the Limits…one not to be judged by its cover. I had a nice white covered proof…but might buy a copy if they change the cover, I think it’s awful!
Ellie recently posted..Incoming!
Sounds like I need to add Pushing the Limits to my TBR list. Happy reading everyone!
