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
I’ve had quite an exhausting first week at uni but thank God I’ve no classes on Mondays so I’ll have some time to catch up with blogging and reading at weekends. 
As for posts,
♦ I posted about going back to university on Monday and explained why I won’t be around as much as I used to
♦ On Wednesday, I posted a pre-blogoversary interview in which you get to interview me (you still have time to send in your questions – I’ll answer them next week)
♦ And I reviewed Marian Keyes’ newest book, The Mystery of Mercy Close on Friday.
Incoming books
Dead Before Dying by Deon Meyer
Dead at Daybreak by Deon Meyer
Heart of the Hunter by Deon Meyer
Devil’s Peek by Deon Meyer
Blood Safari by Deon Meyer
Thirteen Hours by Deon Meyer
Trackers by Deon Meyer
I received an enormous box of books the other day, filled with a set of Deon Meyer books. Hodder & Stoughton had a competition going on on their website and I was one of the lucky winners. I still can’t believe it!! The crime fiction fan in me wants to put everything aside and start reading them right now but I still have quite a lot of review copies to read first, so they’ll have to wait… Has anyone read anything by Meyer? His books have been on my wishlist for a while but I haven’t managed to read any of his books yet. They sound great, though! I can’t wait to read them. And again, a massive thank you goes to Hodder for sending me this set. Thank you, thank you!
What have you been up to this week? Have you got anything nice? Make sure to link up your own Showcase Sunday post in the linky below and feel free to leave a comment after linking up. See you all tomorrow!

Firstly, congratulations on your prize. I can imagine that you’re going to be very busy reading all them.
I haven’t read any of Meyer’s books and I look forward to seeing your reviews. (It’s good that not only do you win books, but also books that you’ve been looking to read).
Enjoy.

I’m so jealous
Deon Meyer is great writer. I’ve read only “13 hours” and I must say it is an amazing thriller. I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading. Expecting reviews.

Thanks Paige! x
Congrats on winning all those books! They look like mysteries but I’m not sure. I’ve never read that author’s work. Nice to get a series all in one though.
Rachel recently posted..Showcase Sunday #10
They are mysteries! Mysteries or thrillers, I should say. I think they’re a little bit of both.
What a great set of books! Have fun reading all these crime books!
Thank you so much!
Awesome books Vicky!! I love mystery novels and these look AWESOME!
- Juhina @ Maji Bookshelf
They do! I love mysteries so I hope they’re going to be good!
Wow!! That’s a great giveaway — congrats! I won one once from Simon & Schuster and they send me 5 books in a series, which was pretty awesome.
Hope you can read them soon!
Have a good week!

I haven’t heard of Deon Meyer before either, but I love crime novels
Plus, it looks like these books are set in Africa – how unique!
I’m really looking forward to read your reviews on them!
Happy reading!

Thank you! And yes, I think they are – plus, Meyer himself is South African as far as I know.
Congrats on winning the books! Hope you’ll have a wonderful time enjoying them when you’re not as busy. Have a lovely week

Wow, congrats!
I’m actually going to start school tomorrow too. Gah! I’m so nervous yet excited for it! But, unlike you, I’ve still got 2-3 years left.

Oh, best of luck with school! Don’t be nervous, it’ll be fine
I understand you so well! I’ve just started my 10th grade and I’m already SO busy with studying and homeworks that I have a few hours to spend for my blog D:

I know!
I hate the fact that I don’t have time to read my own books. Thank you so much and best of luck with school!
Congrats on your Deon Meyer books. I hope you enjoy them and happy reading
Jennifer @ Dream Reads recently posted..Showcase Sunday (14) – Stacking the Shelves (6)
Not come across the author before, but I guess that’s unsurprising when most of the crime fiction I read was in my teens and came from Agatha Christie
Look forward to your thoughts on them.
Katja recently posted..Katya’s World(Katya Kuriakova #1) by Jonathan L. Howard
Awesome haul! Though I’ve never read any of Deon Meyer’s books, they look interesting, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about them.
Have a great week, Vicky!
