Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (5)

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.

Good Sunday, lovelies! I hope you all had a great week! Mine was awesome the great weather does wonders on my mood and productivity! :) Have you missed anything on Xpresso Reads this week? There was the My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century Exclusive that featured a cover reveal, trailer, excerpt and giveaway! I also had Sarah Alderson drop by for a fun interview as part of my Hunting Lila tour stop. I posted a couple cover reveals on my Facebook page that you should not miss! There's Dearly, Beloved by Lia Habel, The Dead and the Buried by Kim Harrington, Carnivals of Souls by Melissa Marr, and my personal favorite (I'm a sucker for red accents) Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor.

Reviews this week:
-The Lost Code by Kevin Emerson
-Venus City by Tabitha Vale
-Tommy Nightmare by J.L. Bryan
-All These Lives by Sarah Wylie

This week I received for review (click on cover for Goodreads): 

*Big thanks to Macmillan Publishers, Scholastic, and Hachette Book Group Canada for these pretties!*
