Sunday Showcase and Post - June 22nd

Sunday means it's I'm linking up with Books, Biscuits and Tea for the Sunday Showcase and Caffeinated Book Reviewer for Sunday Post.  I'm pretty much caught up from being out of town last week and we're getting back into the summer routine. 

What I Got:

NetGalley:

My Secret Life in Hut Six: One Woman's Experience at Bletchley Park by Mair and Gethin Russell Jones - I've been fascinated by Bletchley Park since I first heard about it ages ago.  Movies like Enigma and tv shows like Bletchley Circle haven't dimmed the fascination so I'm really looking forward to reading this title.

Better Homes and Hauntings by Molly Harper - a landscaper, a private island with a faded-glory style mansion and ghosts make this look like a fun read!

How the Scoundrel Seduces by Sabrina Jeffries - I really loved the last book in this series and jumped at the chance to read this book.

Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History by Rhonda K. Garelick -  it's a biography about Coco Chanel.  There's really nothing else to be said.  How could I pass that one up!

Louise's Blunder by Sarah R. Shaber -  I've enjoyed other books from this author so I'm really looking forward to a 1940s spy thriller set in D.C.

Meet Me in Barcelona by Mary Carter - Barcelona, people with secrets.  This looks like it has potential.

Queen of Hearts Volume 2 - I really enjoyed the first volume of this prequel to Alice in Wonderland and am looking forward to reading more of the stories.

Oliver and the Seawigs by Phillip Reeve and Illustrated by Sarah McIntyre - a fun looking children's book.

Other:

Something Borrowed, Something Bleu by Cricket McRae -  I have like 4 of this series and I have yet to read any of them.  I should really give it a try.

Victorian House: Domestic Life from Childbirth to Deathbed by Judith Flanders - I saw this mentioned in a review of Bill Bryson's At Home.  

I've also finally discovered how to get audiobooks from my library on my iPhone so I'm sure I'll end up with a few audiobooks through overdrive.  Now I just have to see if I can really listen to them.  I have my fingers crossed!  Any recommendations for audiobooks that aren't to be missed?

COYER Challenge:

I'm really excited about COYER starting yesterday.  I know a lot of people are making lists of the books they plan to take care of and I tossed that idea around as well.  But I kind of already have a list between review books, books I've pulled for TBR lists and books on hold at the library.  I think instead of a list of books to get through I'm going to focus on adding extra time in my day to read.  I'd like to get an hour of reading done a day in addition to when I stay up too late reading at night.  I'm also planning to participate in at least 3 or 4 of the weekend read-a-thons.
