Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (31)

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

So does everyone have their tree up yet? I plan to put up mine soon! I just got back from the SAnta Claus parade tonight and Alek loved it! Though he was pretty confused as to why this was all happening >.< I love toddlers. On  the blog this week it was a pretty review only week with just one highly for my fellow Canadians who can enter to win a copy of Love and Other Perishable Items. I did share a couple cover reveals on my Facebook page if you missed any.

    So many awesome books this week! I haven’t heard of Indigo Awakening, but now it’s on my radar! It sounds quite interesting.. And the cover for Moonglow is just gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what you think of the book. Happy reading, Giselle!

    I’ve been wanting to put my tree up for WEEKS but Mr. Kat won’t let me – he’s making me wait until 1 December, bah humbug!

    Vaempires is an interesting read, very action-packed, I liked it when I read it earlier this year.

    The Way We Fall was good, but then again I’m a sucker for anything with a virus. That sounds odd…

    Enjoy!

    Ooh I don’t think I have come across Moonglow before, so I will have to check that out! Crash looks pretty interesting too, as does Indigo Awakening. Lovely haul this week, Giselle! Enjoy. 🙂

  13. Amy

    Ohh you got Crash!! I am super dying to read that!! Indigo Awakening sounds really awesome too. I want to read The Friday Society eventually. Sounds like something I would like, but I am waiting to hear more reviews on it first. Great haul chick!! Love the new twitter background!!

  14. Christina

    Indigo Awakening: Ooh, I want to know about this one. 🙂

    Moonglow: This looks a lot like Fury. Which was awful, so I don’t know.

    Crash: Tell me if this one is also written in sentence fragments, because I HATE that.

    Friday Society: I’ve heard this is pretty great!

    Ashes of Twilight: I’ve heard this isn’t. 🙁

    The Way We Fall: I liked this one.

  18. Blythe Harris

    So jealous that you got Crash! I can’t wait to see what you think of it – it sounds absolutely amazing and the author has gotten quite a lot of hype (though I haven’t heard the best things about her writing). I also can’t wait to see what you think of Indigo Awakening and The Friday Society! Great haul, girl!

  20. Nick

    I got Indigo Awakening as well! I’m excited to read that book! 🙂
    I still haven’t read The Way We Fall but I’ve been wanting to reading it for a long time now!
    Enjoy your books, Giselle!

  21. Renae

    Ah, great books! I’ve heard some really awesome things about The Friday Society, so I hope it isn’t disappointing for you, and I’m interested to hear your thoughts on The Way We Fall, because that’s one of this year’s dystopian releases I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on.

    Have a great week, Giselle!

  23. Eden

    The Friday Society is SO GOOD. I hope you enjoy it even half as much as I did! 😀 Ooh, and The Way We Fall I really liked too. I think I might need to check out Indigo Awakening now; that cover is striking. Hoep you enjoy all your books

    Here’s my Stacking the Shelves post 🙂

  24. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    I want to buy The Way We Fall, those books sound really good. Too bad you didn’t enjoy Ashes of Twilight more, I was interested in that one too. Oh and I can’t wait to read Crash, I really liked Cryer’s Cross so I hope it’s jsut as good (if not better).

    LOVE the twitter background and the pretty pink blog! Pink rocks! I love the chicks big hair, she’s rockin it.

  25. Jasprit

    Oh I love your new designs Giselle, you are seriously one super talented lady! And another amazing haul this week, so many beautiful covers! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Friday Society and The Way We Fall! Happy reading hun! 🙂

  31. Bonnie R

    Oooh, Crash! Very excited for that one. The Friday Society has been getting some fantastic reviews, I think I’m definitely going to have to try that one. I’ll be on the look out for what you think of The Way We Fall, I read that earlier this year. Happy reading, Giselle! 🙂
    My Showcase Sunday!

    LOL Kids. I haven’t started Christmas decorating yet! Still riding the Thanksgiving high. We’ll start next weekend when it’s officially December! Great books: Indigo wakening looks good! I am off to check out your Dark House review!

  36. Tom

    Wow! Pretty awe-inspiring company. I’m honored to be included. As far as holiday decorating … we actually put up three full-size trees and a number of smaller ones. We started yesterday but won’t be done for a few days. I posted pics on my website last year for anyone interested.

    (I deleted the earlier post because I messed up the link)

  37. Kara_Malinczak

    I’ve heard great things about The Friday Society. I also really want Indigo Awakening. I hadn’t heard of Moonglow before this but now I am really intrigued. The blurb is pretty interesting. Nice haul this week!

  41. Alexia561

    Haven’t even thought about Christmas decorations yet, and just started my shopping. Need to get busy! And what a nice book haul! I’m most looking forward to reading The Friday Society, as I loved the synopsis! Have a great week!

  42. Micheline D

    Ahhhh you got Indigo Awakening!!!! AND Friday Society!! 😀 I’ll be keeping an eye out for your reviews on both of those for sure!

    Oh, and I still can’t get over how KICKASS you’re Twitter redesign looks ♥ I wish I had your talent 😉 Congrats on the great work & all the fun goodies!

    Tree is up.

    Some of the Santas usually have to become helper Santas. But my little one saw someone who looked just like Santa in a restaurant (wearing normal clothes) and went up and asked him if he was Santa. The man just laughed.

    My little guy was sure it was the real Santa checking things out and talked about it forever. The will to believe can be very strong.

  48. Shooting Stars Mag

    I’m really curious about The Friday Society. I can’t wait to finally see some reviews going up, so I can figure out more about it. That’s awesome you got Crash too. Love Lisa McMann!

  54. Megan K.

    Awesome haul, Giselle! I’m so jealous you got THE WAY WE FALL by Megan Crewe and CRASH by Lisa McMann. I’m also currently readingTHE FRIDAY SOCIETY and it’s pretty good so far. 🙂

    Can’t wait to hear what you think of these!
