Vicky 
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.
Books
I had a great week book-wise! I finally got a review copy I was waiting for, the Marian Keyes book I ordered for my birthday and two birthday presents 
Thank you SO MUCH to Pragya from Reviewing Shelf and Faye from A Daydreamer’s Thoughts for the two birthday books! And thank you to Quirk Books for the review copy of Ransom Riggs’ books! I managed to read Unlocked and Saved by Cake so if you’d like to read my reviews for either of these two, you’ll find them below. I was ridiculously excited about Marian’s book and it didn’t disappoint!!
► Miracle on Regent Street by Ali Harris (birthday present)
► Saved by Cake by Marian Keyes (bought) – My review
► Unlocked by Ryan G. Van Cleave (birthday present) – My review
► Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (for review)
Swag
I also got some swag this week! A few weeks ago I entered a zillion giveaways during the YAmazing Race and that’s where I won the signed bookmarks and tattoos from! A massive thank you to the two authors for sending me all these goodies!
The two bottles of nail varnish are totally non-book related because I ordered them myself but …. aren’t they grand?? I just had to show you how the yellow one looks. ADORE!
That’s it for this week, folks! What did you get? Make sure to leave a comment above and link up your own Showcase Sunday post in the linky! See you next week!

Love the nail polish, haha! I’m an addict! Can’t wait to see what you think of Ransom Riggs’ book – there’s been so many different opinions about it.
Megan @ Books-andTeacups recently posted..Welcome!
Uh-oh, that doesn’t sound too good. I hope I’ll be among those people who enjoy it
We’ll see! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I have a copy of Peculiar Children but haven’t gotten to it yet. I did look through the pictures though- creepy! I also have some Marian Keyes books I really need to get to. I’m so behind!
Yay fab books this week. Plus that yellow nail varnish is loooovely!
Glad you loved your Marian Keyes book so much

This is my first time visiting your blog and I just wanted to say how much I love it! Your design is gorgeous! Hope you enjoy all of your new books and swag
Jess Hearts Books recently posted..Letterbox Love (4)
Marian’s book looks even more gorgeous in that picture — after reading your beautiful review for it, I’ve been more excited to get my hands on a copy than ever! (My mom might go crazy with that book in the house because she’s trying to go on this unnecessary diet LOL, but us kids will definitely love it!) And yay for gorgeous nail polish!
Awesome showcase this week, Vicky! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy your books! <3

I want to get Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children now it’s reportedly out in paperback…although I haven’t found anywhere selling it yet.
Ellie recently posted..Incoming!
Yep, it looks really good! The Book Depo does have it, though.
I was just talking about it with someone this week and she was looking for the PB version as well. Here it is.
Nice haul! Loved your review for Saved by Cake and trying to get hold of a copy, but seems to be sold out right now. Congrats on winning the tattoos and bookmarks! And the nail polish is totally cool! I love unusual colors, as pinks and reds are too boring.

Great books with great covers it makes me want to read them myself
Kate @ Kates Book Life recently posted..Showcase Sunday #4
I bought Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children way back in January and still haven’t had a chance to read it. It looks and sounds so creepy! Children scare me lol Happy reading!

Great books this week and love the nails.
Ohh you finally got Miracle on Regent Street!! I keep wanting to reread that one soo bad I adored it! It really made me feel Christmassy though so I’ll wait a bit. But you’re going to love it, it’s such a lovely read.
Hannah recently posted..Showcase Sunday #1
Oh, is it? That’s EXACTLY what Celine and I are talking about on Twitter right now – I just remembered that I got a Christmasy book on Netgalley back in December and told her I probably wouldn’t like to pick it up in June in 30 degrees…
Thanks for the info! Will have to put it in my TBR pile and pick it up in winter, then.
Yup, read the blurb! It made me feel very Christmassy.
Luuurved it. Go read my review 
I remember that one. Wish Upon A Star? I couldn’t read it. Too poorly written.. I don’t think I’ll ever manage a Mills & Boon title (which it is, to warn you)
Hannah recently posted..Showcase Sunday #1
Oh yes! I remember you saying how shite it was
It looked great, though! I couldn’t even read it in the end because the publisher wouldn’t respond to my email and it wasn’t available for Kindle. (and they archived it anyway) It must be fate or something.
It did and it had a pretty, glittery cover but it really wasn’t worth it. You aren’t missing anything! Miracle on Regent Street however – definitely read that around Christmas time it’s amazing!
Hannah recently posted..Showcase Sunday #1
Awesome week. I loved Radsom Riggs book and hope you do too. Love your new polish and swag chicka!
kimba88 recently posted..The Sunday Post
Lots of great books here! Enjoy them! I too got some new nail polish this week. ELF was having an awesome sale that I just couldn’t pass up! I got a shimmery purple, bland and navy blue polish. Plus a few other things!
Thanks for sharing,
Dani

Miracle on Regent Street was my favourite Christmas book I read last year. Lovely, good old fashioned chick lit with tinsel thrown in.
I’ve also nominated you for an award on my blog

Nice nailpolish!!! And great haul, don’t expect Peregrine to be super creepy it’s a bit more like an MG novel I found.
