AKA Showcase Sunday
All the graphic novels this week are from the Image Comics Humble Bundle. Pay whatever you like for the main bundle of 4 or pay more than average for an extra 3 (there are also 2 Walking Dead volumes for anyone paying more than $15). I have heard good things from about Saga various sources, so it should be worth it even if I don’t get round to the others.
So this looks like quite a lot but it’s about 3 weeks’ worth and mostly digital (so not adding to the floor situation).

I'd suggest signing up for NetGalley, Bookbridgr and/or Edelweiss to start with. If you follow publicists on Twitter they often will say if they have copies available or are updating their blogger lists.
Oh yea, the Saga series is like everyone's favourites right now. I just got notice that my hold at the library for them is ready for pick up. So I'm sure I'll devour them tonight.
I hope you enjoy all your new reads. They sound fantastic!
Happy reading!

I hope you enjoy the Richard Yates when you get to it, I love his writing, though it's not always very cheerful it often seems very truthful/accurate. Lots here I've not heard of so will investigate further and check out your reviews.
Ooooh you received loads of great sounding books! I absolutely love the cover for The Returned and Lagoon sounds fantastic! 🙂 Hope you enjoy them and have had a lovely week of reading 🙂
Hope you're having a great week Ellie!
