Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (19)

Posted by

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!

    But but but but but but but but but but but but SCARLET! BREAKING POINT! VORTEX! *makes grabby motions again* Ahhhh! I am so jealous! *spazzes* I hope you enjoy your books and find someone to give that fourth book too 😉 You are so funny too lol “Some bookmarks from her books, some bookmarks from books I don’t know, and some pretty bookmarks from books I don’t know” I hope you enjoy your books!! 😀

    Giselle, you got some seriously amazing books this week! I am very jealous! 😉

    I am pretty much dying for Vortex, I really want to see where the whole FBI thing goes. I can’t wait to read it!! I hope that you do enjoy it. =) And you got Scarlet!! I can not wait for that one! I loved Cinder. Breaking Point is another one that I’m super excited for. I hope it’s even better than Article 5!

    City of Fallen Angels is my least favorite of TMI series, but COLS is SO much better, so don’t give up on the series!! And all that swag looks SO awesome. Your blogoversary is going to be fabulous! <3

    Awesome haul Giselle! Enjoy all those awesome goodies!

    hahahaha… I feel like she’s beating a dead horse too. I would have loved it if she had stuck with the original trio; they were fantastic as is!
    And I had no idea that the 50 Shades author’s (I can’t even remember her name) husband wrote a book. Hopefully there aren’t any tampon scenes.
    I haven’t read Cinder either! So we’re the only two people on Earth left to read it. 🙂 I have the hardcover sitting on my shelf just waiting for me.
    hahaha… you cracked me up, Giselle. You’re the best.

And CoLS! 😀 Amazing book haul this week Giselle! Everything looks oh so scrumptious! Enjoy!

    Awesome new books!! I’m so glad you got Insignia! I ADORED that book. I hope you love it too. 🙂 I’m jealous of Scarlet and Breaking Point!! I’m actually reading Article 5 right now and loving it!!

    Have a great week. 🙂

  17. Jen (A Reading Daydreamer)

    YAY FOR VLOGS. I love watching your vlogs, Giselle! So much awesome this week, I don’t think I can handle it. 😉 I am REALLY looking forward to FURIOUS! I got BROKEN this week as well. 🙂 So much swag! Happy reading, Giselle!

  23. The Teen Book Guru

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG When I saw the cover I couldn’t stop spazzing I was just so freaking excited! I hope you like it and I can’t wait to see what you think. Now I just have to wait till February… *sigh* Anyway… love the swag too! Enjoy your haul, Giselle! xxx

    I’ve seen Insignia around alot, lately, so I may just have to pick it up, soon.

    Really, $5.00? *twitching face* how awesome are those deals!! We need a Chapters down here in the US for awesome deals!!

    <3 your face!

    Hi!! Awesome books, as usual 😀 Scarlet!!! I hope you Luurrrvvvee it. I also really hope you enjoy Insignia, I really liked it 🙂 I’d be excited about Breaking Point too, although I haven’t read Article 5 — I HAVE a copy though so that counts right? :p

    I also feel the same about the new TMI books, they should have stopped with #3. I hope you enjoy all those goodies!

  31. Carina

    I definitely agree with what you said about the Mortal Instruments – book #3 would’ve been the perfect ending. Nonetheless I’m continuing the series, even though I have yet to read book #5, too. 😀
    The books you got look really awesome, my dear, and I’m oh-so-jealous of SCARLET. I read CINDER a couple of weeks ago during my vacation and loved, loved, loved it. 😀

    Happy reading!

  32. Amy

    OMG laughing at you about Furious. “three really pissed off women, above water, floating” Lol!!! I want Vortex!!! *reaches through computer and snatches kobo* I really liked Possess, I hope you like it too. You got all sorts of awesome stuff!!! Yay!! It’s almost your blogoversary! Mine is today and I suck that I didn’t set anything up for it. I will on like Monday or Tuesday. I’m a total fail haha!!

  34. Shiku

    Oh, I’m so so so jealous of Scarlet! I really can’t wait to get my hands on that book, but … well, January is still so far away. ):

  37. Kristin @ My ParaHangover

    Oh how cool you got Scarlet! I was hoping to see this one out and about soon! Hopefully you can read and review it soon, and of course I want all the spoilers (NOT!). And somewhere I saw Furious and it sounded good so I’ll have to watch for that one – the cover is beautiful (b/c that makes or breaks a book – ha!)

    Have a great week! My Sunday Post

  39. Krystianna

    I’m so excited for Vortex and Scarlet! Tempest and Cinder were both amazing. I hope you enjoy Cinder since you haven’t read it yet! I really need to pick up a copy of Insignia. I’ve heard quite a few rave reviews and it seems like something I’d really enjoy. I hope you enjoy your books this week! 😀

    Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian

  42. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    Squeeeeee epic week of books for sure. I love that you bought the wrong book you dork haha that was hilarious! But seriously, not reading Breaking Point and Scarlet right now is quite painful. And those pissed off chicks look pretty sweet too. Enjoy your new goodies!

  48. Shooting Stars Mag

    What an awesome week you had. I got Crusher as well, and I’m quite curious to check it out. I really want to buy Insignia as well. Sounds like a good one, and I heard there is humor, which I LOVE.

    Delirium on sale? GO BUY IT!(: I watched half the vlog, before my computer went all weird. ):

    Are you actually giving out the book? Can you not return it? I live in the UK, or I would totally take advatnage of your offer. 😛 Pity you didn’t enjoy it, though. ):

    Niall is FSoG authors husband? ;o Oooh, your swag is SO PRETTY.<3 I'll be back to check out your wonderful giveaway.(:

    Enjoy all these awesome books!<3

  52. Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)

    Holy awesome books, Giselle!!! I love all the swag, too!!

    I hope you enjoy City of Fallen Angels … it wasn’t my favourite, but maybe reading the book will be better than listening to the audiobook.

    And POSSESS! I so want to read that one!

    Enjoy your reading!

  55. Jenn@OwlReadIt

    I wish I had a pet pengiun, that would be awesome.. lol

    You got amazing book this week!! Completely jealous! I still haven’t read Cinder, so you’re not alone. I have a copy, just haven’t read it yet..

    You got great deals at Chapters this week! I wish I had of been able to make it in this week. Also, amazing swag! Looks like you had a great week!

    Happy reading!

  59. Marmaladelibby (aka Ange)

    Fun stuff as usual Giselle! Insignia is one I picked up this summer when she was doing a signing in Naperville. She’s a sweetie and fun to chat up! I got Possess recently on my Nook when it was cheap and it sounds like a great creepy one and I completely agree that the cover is GORGEOUS! I still need to read Article 15! I think I’m just going to buy it for our MHS LMC since everyone has gushed an gushed about it! Have a great week girlie!

  62. Christina

    Your haul gives me grabby hands of epic proportions. The Macmillan books! WANT.

    In other news, I hope you like Possess. I was in the like 4% of readers that didn’t think it was a 4/5 star read, so I hope you don’t join me since you bought it.
