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.
This week at Xpresso Reads

We are in September! *cries*
This week on the blog was nothing but reviews! So I don’t have any special posts to highlight. But I did update the sidebar for the new month – September’s Brew was picked and zombilicious 😉 I also scheduled a couple of new tours: Possession and What’s Left of Me. The latter is stopping by just next week! And if you haven’t already, don’t forget to enter to win a finished copy of Yesterday by CK Kelly Martin that ends tomorrow.

Did you miss any cover reveals this week? Have a look!
