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 lovely people! So school is almost here again. For me, that means the end of summer which is depressing so we won't talk about it, k? I had a super busy week on the blog here so let's see if you missed something. The Defiance Blog Tour made a stop on Tuesday, you can check my review and CJ's favorite movies. And on Friday I had the Authors Are Rockstars tour stop by, find out who my rockstar is! ;) I also posted the cover reveal for Timeless by Michelle Madow which includes an epic giveaway so make sure to check that out. There is another giveaway I posted this week: win a copy of Yesterday by CK Kelley Martin which sounds and looks great!This week at Xpresso Reads

AHHHHH accent! No seriously though, I love yours and Cindy's (@Tynga's Reviews) accents- I'm a cruddy Canadian who can only speak English (on occasion... ;) ).
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of THIS IS NOT A DRILL before, but now I am really curious about it. *Off to Goodreads*
Yay This is Not a Drill looks soo good! :) And I'm glad you liked Feed so much! And yes lol you vlogs are the only I look forward to on Sundays ;) So I was like "NOOOO WHERE IS GISELLE?!" when I saw you didn't do a vlog ;) But awesome haul I hope you end up liking that angel book and all your others!
ReplyDelete@Eileen: The angel books are her other series. Violet Midnight has like vampires and stuff.
ReplyDelete@Avery: Haha thanks! I hate my accent! But I love all other accents haha, especially English (England)! <3
This Is Not A Drill sounds great! I've had my eye on that one for along time. Hope it's good! Feed sounds exciting. Always looking for new zombie books.

I can't wait to start the Feed series. I bought book one based on so many wonderful reviews so I am all set to go as soon as I have the time. Glad to see you are still enjoying the series!
ReplyDeleteI missed your vlogs very much! I would love it if you did it every week, even if you don't get very many books. :) I've definitely add Mira's books to my to-read list after I saw your review for book 1! I can't wait to see the cover for Violet Midnight. Great haul this week, Giselle! :)

ReplyDeleteOoh, not many this week! I once again bought more books than I read, but I did pick up 'black swan rising' and the black dagger brotherhood insiders guide for only 50p each so they were super bargains! Will check out your review of feed as I have it but haven't gotten round to reading it yet!
ReplyDeleteReading Defiance right now and loving it!!!

Great books, Giselle! Read Deadline fast and go on to Blackout! ;))) I love this series! Enjoy all your reads!

Great books this week!! I'm jealous of This is Not a Drill ... it looks super good! As do the Mira Grant books ... I've heard AMAZING things about them! I just hate that the first one is so tiny (like Mass Market) ... I wish there was a better copy available. Might be an eBook purchase for me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading!
I loves books with twists! I haven't read any zombie books yet, but when I do, if I enjoy them, I will check out Feed and Deadline. Sounds like some great books, here's what I got this week http://whatsontheshelf.wordpress.com/2012/08/26/in-my-mailbox-19/

Great haul, sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation in Alberta (I live in Southern Ontario, so you can probably imagine how long that would take by car, while stopping at a hotel for the nights, very exhausting) and just came back last night. Thanks for stopping by the blog.
