Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (25)

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

Hi y’all! It is so cold!! I don’t know how I will survive winter. Ok so, this week I had the blog tour for Ashen Winter drop by – one of my favorite series ever! I also posted a giveaway for my fellow Canadian lovelies for a copy of Rebel Heart! And that is pretty much all the highlights of the week. I have been too busy to post any extras, though there are a couple of cover reveals on my Facebook page!

Xpresso Design has a new home! You can check out my portfolio, prices, and what I can design for you, all in a clean, brand spanking new site! 😉

    I love my new blog and Facebook makeover so much I want to share the love.

    During the Spooktacular Giveaway Hop I’ll be giving away $15 for use at Xpresso Design. (International) Cause first impressions are important.

    Need a spokeswoman, G? LOL

    Paper Valentine sounds great! Just got Gravity as well so it will be added to next weeks. I am also so so super excited for Pivot Point!!! I plan to read it soon! I just re-watched Sliding Doors on Netflix! I just love the concept!

    Prodigy!!! Awesome! 🙂 I absolutely loved Legend and I am totally dying to read that. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 I got a ton of stuff this week, most of it from a huge Amazon order I did, but I’m really excited to dive into it all. (It’s sort of the bookish equivalent of spreading all my Halloween candy on the bed right after coming in. *laughs*)

    Your book hauls ALWAYS make me jealous! I’m really looking forward to reading GRAVITY and PRODIGY, and, of course, PIVOT POINT! *sigh* You lucky gal. You always get all the great books. 😛

    Anyway, happy reading! Can’t wait to hear what you think about these. 🙂

    Hi Giselle

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

    I have Pivot Point on my Wish List. Siege and Quantum Drop sound interesting, but both books are only released in the UK next year, so I’ll have a while before I try them.

    Enjoy your reads.

    OMG *dies* Prodigy!! *snatches it and runs off* 17 & Gone and Paper Valentine sound awesome too. Love your new Design Page!! It’s been really cold here too. Yesterday morning it was only 22 degrees! Brrrr. I am not ready for it to be that cold yet. I just saw that I got Gravity this morning so it’s going in next weeks StS instead. If I remember lol! Great haul chick!!

  39. Julie

    Wow, you have a great selection of books there! I think I’m a little jealous 🙂 I’ve been wanting to check out Prodigy and Zom-B. Hope you enjoy them.

  41. Micheline D

    Ok so: 1.I agree, it’s freaking freezing! Seems like it changed so fast, I’m in shock! I don’t want to leave the house :S

    2. I know I’ve told you already, but I LOVE Xpresso Design’s new home, it’s gorgeous!

    3. Wow AMAZING books again this week! I’ve heard great things about Paper Valentine! I’m excited to see Prodigy in here even if I have yet to read Legend; because I’m dying to and hopefully I will soon 😀 Also I’d never heard of Gravity but the cover is spectacular and made me instantly curious…so I’m off to check it! Enjoy Giselle!

    Ooh…I’m really jealous of Paper Valentine. I have to try and get that Arc! Thanks for reminding me 🙂
    I still have to read Legend. It’s on the shelf, but I can’t read fast enough and now Prodigy is almost out. Yikes!

  44. Jasprit

    Giselle you lucky thing so many pretties this week! I’m super jealous of your copies of 17 & Gone and Paper Valentine! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them! I hope you enjoy the rest of your books too! Happy reading! 🙂

  52. Sam

    Wow, you had an awesome week! I’m curious to see what you’ll make of 17 & Gone and Paper Valentine. Gravity is my current read at the moment and it’s not bad so far. I’m looking forward to comparing thoughts. 🙂

  55. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    I’ll have to check out Zom-B I like the idea of the illustrations. And Valentine will be my first Yovanoff book too, and I want to read The Space Between to! I’ll have to read Legend, I have it on my ereader but haven’t read it yet. Add that to the binder of fails. Pivot Point is so damn pretttty! I am so excited for Seige!!!! It sounds like it is going to be shocking.

    I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU DID A VLOG! You need to do them more often, ROCK THOSE BANGS BITCH!

  60. Carmen Jenner

    Awesome Haul! They all look so good I don’t know where to start! I’m really interested in Zom-B, so I can’t wait for your review on that one!
    Hope you get some more time this week for the things you LURVE! 😉

    OMG! YOU DID THE CREWEL TOUR BANNER?!?!?! I’m not even going to begin how much better your tour banner was compared to mind. Seriously. xD And PRODIGY?!?!??! THE PAPER VALENTINE?!! You just killed me. TWICE. *tries to steal your bookshelf* And yay for all your great designs 😀 I guess it could be a good thing you’ve been swamped with designs? 😉

  70. BecAlora Walker

    Omg Period.8 and Gravity’s covers have got me absolutely frothing at the mouth wanting to know what they’re about. I can’t wait for your reviews! In the meanwhile I’ll be looking these books up!
