I got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week.
This week at Xpresso Reads
July is here already!! Such crazy nonsense! I want summer to last forever I’m having a fabulous one so far! I hope you are too! This week on the blog I have a few things to mention. First, I’ve got crazy giveaway madness going on at the moment and a whole bunch were posted this week. There is the Cover Madness giveaway hosted along with my friend Jenni at Alluring Reads. You can also enter to win The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse. I spotlighted White Lines by Jennifer Banash that included the cover reveal, an excerpt, a super fun interview, with a chance to win an ARC – find the post here! Lastly, I had the Wings of Arian blog tour drop by for my review and a giveaway!
Cover reveal! Wowza! Besides the above mentioned White Lines, I posted 7 of them up on my Facebook page, to view them all click here (the top ones are the newest). It includes the upcoming JK Rowling novel and a complete redesign to the Across the Universe series.
PS: The last few weeks consisted of more non-review posts than usual (though I’m sure you don’t mind giveaway >.<), you will be seeing 4-5 reviews a week again starting this week 😉 You know, to keep your TBR list up high so I don't suffocate alone! 😀

I got for review:
Swag:
I also got a whole ton of swag this week. A big sweet chunk is from Karice Bolton (Lonely Souls) which is definitely the best swag I’ve ever gotten with a ton of bookmarks, a tote bag and even some soap! There’s also a fabulous wristband from Alex Lidell (Cadet of Tildor). And some stickers & bookmarks from Spencer Hill Press. Thanks SO much you guys! Love your faces!!
