Showcase Sunday #64

Showcase Sunday is hosted by the fabulous Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea and is all about sharing our new books - beg, borrowed or bought.

This week has been super-busy at work - I'm starting to stress out now my holiday is exactly three weeks away - SO MUCH TO DO!

But we did have my boyfriend's work Christmas party on Friday night, which was fun if a long trek there and back.  The food was nice, but there wasn't really enough of it (strangely, the coach driver didn't suggest a stop in at a McDonald's drive through on the way home, but it would have made him the most popular guy EVER), lots of drinking, a fair deal of dancing and I met some lovely people.  Now I ache and am totally feeling my age!


Purchased
Insignia (Insignia #1) by S.J. Kincaid - it was cheap on Kindle.  And it sounds kinda cool.
Parasite (Parasitology #1) by Mira Grant - finally!  I've ummed and ahhhhed about this one for ages, but I think it's going to work for me.

For Review (thanks to Harlequin Teen)
Forever (Temptation #3) by Karen Ann Hopkins - strangely, despite the fact that I didn't like the second book in the series, I've been thinking about the third book for a while, and I'm hopeful this one will be better.  Plus then I've finished another series!
Anything to Have You by Paige Harbison - I enjoyed her book New Girl, so I'm intrigued about this one.

How was your week?  Any good parties, celebrations etc.?

  2. Ah, so glad to hear that! I've heard lots of good things about Parasite, but not much about Insignia.

  3. Parasite! Oooh, I want that one too. The reviews have kind of been all over the place but I really loved her books that I've read. Nice haul :-)
