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.
So how is everyone this lovely Sunday? We’ve gotten great weather here so I’m super happy. Did you miss anything on the blog this week? Well, there was the fabulous Jen Calonita who dropped by for an interview – check it out here. I’m also co-hosting a chat party on June 1st with one of my BFFs Kara from Great Imaginations, come join the fun! Here’s the party announcement. And make sure you get your last entries for the Something Strange and Deadly ARC giveaway – it ends on Friday!
This week I reviewed:
– The Princesses of Iowa by M. Molly Backes
– Awaited by Lynn Rush
– Insurgent by Veronica Roth
– Of Poseidon by Anna Banks
– The Weepers: The Other Life by Susanne Winnacker
I only got 2 books this week, I’m actually glad to finally have a small haul, I was able to do some catching up! And I’m super excited for both of these titles which I was highly anticipating.
What pretties did you get this week?
Link me up! 🙂

Hey, HEY, hey. This is your lovely co-host just stopping in to say HI! Glad you got caught up last week. That’s what I’ve been trying to do for weeks. And failing miserably. But there is always alcohol to dull the pain. Join us on June 1st to drown in your review pile sorrows at 9 PM EST. LOL!
Shellie
OoOo I got Pushing The Limits also, good haul <3 I'll have to look into Circle of Silence. Hope you have a great week

Maja (The Nocturnal Library)
I need to go check out The Circle of Silence, it looks really interesting. Pushing the Limits is contemporary so I think I’ll wait to read quite a few raving reviews before picking it up. Me and contemp are never going to be best friends, that’s for sure.
Have a great week, Giselle!
Patricia
I just got Pushing the Limits a few hours ago after I realized (because of the StS posts) that it’s available on NG! 😀 Happy Reading!

Of Poseidon is on my list of books to order at the end of the month. I am really looking forward to that one! Even though the change in grammatical person with the change of POV sounds annoying…

Nice haul this week, chickadee! Pushing the Limits seems to be on everyone’s shelves this week – I am seriously slacking 😉 I’ve not heard of Code of Silence before, but it looks great! I will definitely keep an eye on that one.
I cannot WAIT for that chat party on June 1st! You know I’ll be there, ready to rock it out 😉
Hope you enjoy your lovelies and that you’re able to make bigger dent in your TBR pile. Love your face!

Circle of silence cover looks creepy and awesome I see another person with pushing the limits I think the universe is telling me i should request this book, lol. I hope enjoy them both. Click on my name to see my IMM.
Amy
I am still playing catch up, but I think I am finally getting there. Pushing the Limits sounds so good, but I don’t know if I can fit it in. I am auto approved for Harlequin through NetGalley, so if I have time I can just get it and read it. The chat sounds fun!! I will be there!

Circle of Silence remonds me of UK cover for Unravelling 🙂 Enjoy all your reads, Giselle!

I’m still playing catch up too. I’m always impresses and amazed at how and Kimba get 4 and 5 reviews done each week. How do you do it? O_o
Enjoy!

Ive heard Pushing the Limits is really good!
Having a week with fewer books coming in is good sometimes. Since I don’t do an IMM anymore I don’t pay attention so much, but I think I only got one book this week and it was from paperbackswap so I don’t need to hurry to read it.
chelle (crazytrinket)
Oh Pushing the limits, looks like a very Interesting read.
I am really surprised that you only have 2 books this week, because every week you always have tons of books =)
have fun reading always!

I’m quite excited for both of the books you got – Harlequin Teen publishes great books, and I loved the first book in Tanzman’s WiHi series of connected books, dancergirl. 🙂 Hope you enjoy them – I look forward to the reviews.
