Sunday Showcase!

It's time for Sunday Showcase!  The time of week where I link up with Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea to list out all the books that managed to land in my lap this week!  It's always a little horrifying to realize how many I managed to find.  

Actual Books:

The Cadaver Game by Kate Ellis - about 100 years ago I discovered a Kate Ellis book in a used bookstore, loved it and then could never find another book by her.  Thinks to paperbackswap I now own 2 more.  This was the 2nd one and I can't wait to read it!


I have 2 more actual books on their way so they'll be in next weeks list.

E-Books

Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott
This was my favorite Alcott when I was a little girl and I discovered that not only was it available on Kindle but it was free!  Then I kind of went on an Alcott binge.  I also ordered:

Rose in Bloom - the sequel
An Old Fashioned Girl
Jo's Boys
Little Men

E-ARC

Then I got a few approvals from Netgalley that I'm really excited about.

The Word Exchange: A Novel by Alena Graedon - this was an invite but it looks really interesting.

Chateau of Secrets by Melanie Dobson - French Resistance, Granddaughter going to uncover her grandmother's secrets at an abandoned chateau 70 years later.  Seriously this should have just had my name on it.

Louisa Catherine: The Other Mrs. Adams by Margery M. Heffron - a biography about the wife of John Quincy Adams - the first (maybe only?) first lady to be born outside the U.S. I'm really looking forward to this one.

At Home with Modern June by Kelly McCants - One of the most comprehensive sewing projects I've ever come across.  Makes me want to learn how to sew.

Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore - A woman goes to Ireland to discover her families' past and figure herself.  There's a castle with a ghost.  I literally squealed out loud when this approval came through.
