Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (3)

Xpresso Weekly is my edition of Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews featuring the books
I got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week.

Hi lovelies! Happy Mother's Day to all you moms! I had a great week, but pretty uneventful which is good and stress free :) On the blog, though I had a blast. On Tuesday I had the Until I Die blog tour stop by for my review, a great guest post and a giveaway for a signed copy of Die For Me! It's open worldwide so make sure you're entered! On Thursday I had the fabulous Devri Walls who showed us a sneak peak of Wings of Arian! Also, make sure you don't miss the wonderfully badass cover reveal for what quickly became one of my favorite books EVER - The Last Bastion of the Living. Up on my Facebook page I showed you the lovely cover of Asunder, the sequel to Incarnate. And don't forget: This is the last day to get 10% off everything at The Book Depository - the link is up on the sidebar, where you can also note the two new upcoming tour stops: Crazy Dangerous, and of course The Last Bastion of the Living. Lastly, you will notice a new fab button up on the sidebar for the upcoming Midsummer Dream Fair that Xpresso Read is co-sponsoring. Make sure to check it out and mark your calendars!

Reviews this week:
-The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda
-Until I Die by Amy Plum
-Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink by Stephanie Kate Strohm
-Pretty Amy by Lisa Burstein

For my haul this week, I got for review (click on cover or title links for Goodreads):


And for the upcoming tour I got this epic unmeasurable amount of awesomenimity!
 

*A huge thank you to Scholastic Canada, Penguin Canada, and Rhiannon Frater for the review copies*

And I won:
 I won this lovely pretty from The Book Monsters! I heard amazing things about it. Thanks Kristen! *hugs*


This was my week in a nutshell!
Did you get any goodies this week?
Leave me a link! :)

  6. Nice! I am definitely looking forward to hearing how Lucid and Flash Point are. They look so cool!

    I love Meg Cabot, but, though I want to read Underworld, I was disappointed by Abandon. From what I've seen this one continues to be kind of meh.
