Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (20)

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

Xpresso Reads has a birthday today! Yay! I officially started my blog 1 year ago today and I am stunned and excited and, most of all, overwhelmed with how many friends I’ve made! I have a WHOLE WEEK’S worth of posts planned for my blogoversary celebration and make sure to drop by every day because there will be epic giveaways you won’t wanna miss! The first post will be going up today!

In the meantime, why don’t you check out the new giveaways I posted this week: You can win an audiobook of Monstrous Beauty, and the Send blog tour dropped by where you can read my review and enter to win a copy.

Sorry, lovelies, I was uber busy today and didn’t have time to do a vlog. I know I’ve been awful at making them regularly but at least you see me sometimes! 😉

I received for review (click on title links for Goodreads)

*Big thanks to Abrams, Tor Teen, AD Croucher, and Hachette Book Group Canada for the pretties!*

Peace out, lovelies!

    I keep going to my local store ever second day to see if they have Girl of Nightmares in. It was meant to be in stores, according to the Australian pubs site, end of August. *waits impatiently*

    Lovely haul, I think Adaptation’s cover looks cool 🙂

    These look amazing! I still haven’t read Anna but the cover of Girl of Nightmares is gorgeous. Splintered has been on my TBR list for way too long- can’t resist a new, twisted version of Alice in Wonderland 🙂 Hope you enjoy all your books and your THG DVD <3

    Looks like you got some great stuff. 🙂 I still need to pick up a copy of The Hunger Games DVD. I have Anna Dressed In Blood sitting here. I’m thinking I’ll read that next month since I should be trying to focus a bit more on Halloween.

    Congrats on one year of blogging. 🙂 I wish you all the best as you step forward into a new one.

    Anyway, I’ve been trying to keep my purchase count down because I have so much stuff to read right here. But I wanted to drop by and see whether you got anything interesting.

    Have a great day!

    I can’t wait until I get my copy of Girl of Nightmares and my own DVD copy of THG! It’s been on my wishlist forever now! lol Splintered and Adaptation look really good! I hope you love all these books!

    If you have time, here’s my STS 🙂

    I loved the Hunger Games film – I thought it was a very good adaption!
    Can’t believe your blog is one! I feel like you’ve been here longer (in a an awesome way!) as I can’t remember the blogging world without you! 🙂

    I can’t wait for Girl of Nightmares and Adaptation to get here already! I really like science-fiction as of late so total plus.

    Happy reading!

    P.S. awesomesausageness? Really? 😉

  26. Michelle

    Splintered sounds like a great read, and I love the cover. I’ve not heard of Altered or Adaptation so I will have to check them out.
    YAY for Hunger Games.

    Check out my haul

    Great books, Giselle! And I’m glad you finally got The Hunger Games!! Yay!

    Adaptation looks like a cool book … LOVE the cover for it! I feel disappointed in Girl of Nightmares, but still have to finish it. I much preferred Anna.

    Enjoy all your reads!

    Happy reading and have a great week!!

    Super awesome haul! I think Adaptation sounds pretty awesome. 🙂 And of course, Splintered sounds absolutely AMAZING!! I hope you love it. 🙂

    Have a great week Giselle!

    OMG how did I not comment on this post yesterday!! I swear I read it, but I guess I never commented. I still need to get The Hunger Games DVD. I keep telling the hubs to buy it for me. Ahhhh Splintered. I am dying to read that book and I didn’t even know it went up on NetGalley until 2 days ago. I requested it and am crossing my fingers for it!! It’s one of my most anticipated books for next year!

  45. Bonnie Regan

    You got some great ones this week! I have Girl of Nightmares and considering I LOVED Anna Dressed in Blood I have no idea why this is still on my TBR list. And I think I’m the only one left on this planet that still needs to watch The Hunger Games. Must remedy this soon. 🙂
    Happy Reading!
