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.
Hi love muffins! How is everyone's January coming along? I've been keeping busy so it's flying by for me! Did you catch the new giveaway on the blog this week? ;) You can win a copy of Perfect Scoundrels! Also, I don't know if you heard about the new plagiarism scandal. You can read all about it here. It's pretty crappy, and I think everyone should be aware.This week at Xpresso Reads

I'm sorry I didn't mean it *pets eReader*

I don't love @Jen (A Reading Daydremer) T_T I was going to be the FIRST COMMENTER!!
ReplyDeleteT_T BUMMER!
Teeth is just amazing, Giselle! It's very different and a little strange, but the writing is beautiful and the characters just came alive for me. It truly breaks your heart, so I hope you like it! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've cooled down and stuff...
ReplyDeleteTEETH!!!
You got it!!!
I'm soooooo looking forward to it!!!!
>_< I've never read anything by that author but *_* I really really want to get to read her work!
The Rules For Disappearing looks great!!
I want to know what The Prey is about though :D
Good haul!!
Mine was SO HUGE I could grow wings of happiness and fly into the night! :D

The box set cover came out super cool! All 3Dish :D All your books look fantastic. Hope you enjoy and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThe Rule for Disappearing sounds so good! I got a copy too and cannot wait to get into it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new reads :)
I'm tempted to get teeth, too. Sorry you had trouble with the file. Anyway, enjoy all your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have the Rules too and can't wait to read. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading,
Brandi @ Blkosiner’s Book Blog
Good job on the box set! :) It looks absolutely beautiful in my honest opinion. :) Will check out THAT series, too! Aww, I tried reading The Hunt last year and miserably failed. :( I think I might be the only one who didn't enjoy it.. Rules for Disappearing sounds great! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIf you have time, come visit my Stacking the Shelves post. Cheers!
I hated the Hunt! I have no idea why they sent me this sequel after I sent them my 2-star review O_O
DeleteDid you want it? haha
I heard great things about Teeth too and it sounds really unique! The Rules for Disappearing sounds interesting and I still need to read The Hunt! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME new books!! I got the Brighest Kind of Darkness books for review a few weeks ago but haven't been able to read them yet! Also I'm so jealous that you got The Rules for Disappearing and The Prey! Those both sound eeeepic!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to receive those books for review (: Can't wait to read your thoughts of The Rules Disappearing!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is AMAZING. I'm so glad I've found it!! I'm a new follower!!
Sapir @ Diary of a Wimpy Teen Girl
Yay for your copy of The Rules For Disappearing, it sounds like an awesome read. Also the cover to Prey is absolutely gorgeous! I hope you enjoy all your pretties! :)
ReplyDeleteTeeth sounds really interesting, but the reviews have been pretty mixed. I can't wait to see what you think of it. Rules for Disappearing and The Prey look great too. Awesome haul, Giselle! Love the new designs this week too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that box set design, Giselle. Nicely done! It's really pretty:)
ReplyDeleteOh Nice books! And some nice new design too Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOoh, interesting books this week! Quite a variety, too. Happy reading, indeed!
ReplyDeleteJust 3 this week! Are you going to read 'The Prey'? I feel really bad when I get asked to review a sequel when I didn't like the first one!
ReplyDeleteTeeth was actually one of my DNF from 2012, but I'm looking forward to see what you think about it Giselle! I hope you're going to like it :) Happy reading! :D
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
You are one of the busiest people. I don't know how you do it :) Great haul. The Rules for Disappearing and Ethan are ones that I really need to check in to. Happy reading..
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Ooh ... Teeth looks super interesting! That's too bad your ereader didn't seem to like it.
ReplyDeleteYou are keeping so busy! Love all the new designs!
You got some really good books. I'm happy for you. Prey looks good and interesting. Hope you enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteGrace
Rules for Disappearing looks absolutely fantastic!! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
ReplyDelete(And your review for Madman's Daughter has me really wanting to read it!)
-Jac @ For Love and Books
Teeth! Yay, I can't wait to see what you think of that one. It's so good. I really want to read The Rules for Disappearing. Can't wait to see what you think of that one.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I remember your review for The Hunt. Does this mean you're going to continue on with the series? I seriously need to read teeth. So many books to read. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe box set cover looks really good, thanks for sharing the image with us :)
ReplyDeleteYou got The Rules for Disappearing already? That's really awesome. Enjoy your books and have a beautiful week!
The Rules for Disappearing looks super good, I look forward to seeing what you think of it. I bet Teeth has a fantastic physical book jacket... is it glittery or shimmery like real fish scales? Great book haul, Giselle. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteMy Showcase Sunday!
Definitely crappy! Why oh why do people think it is ok to STEAL?? Anywho...yay for Prey! Can't wait for that one myself! Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteMy Added to the Bookshelf post!

I love all of your amazing work you've been doing with the designing! Thank you for sharing it all the time! I just saw one I especially loved, Bookish Escape! LOVED it! I really want to read The Madman's Daughter! It sounds SO creepy and good! I'm loving all these classic books that are getting new tales, or retellings now! Happy reading dearie!
ReplyDeleteOur Week in Books @Libby Blog
Great books! I've heard a lot about Teeth, hope you enjoy it :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is totally off topic, but I was just saying to my husband today that I like the idea of an avatar that comes off the edge of a banner, and asking if he knew how to do it. But I couldn't find any examples to show him what I meant. Now I was looking through Stacking the Shelves posts and came across yours! Your banner is gorgeous by the way! :-) Soz, have blog design on the mind right now. ^^
Have a great week and happy reading! (New follower)
Some awesome titles. Been seeing the Prey around. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou can check out what I got this week here: http://www.sapphireddragon.com/2013/01/in-my-mailbox-49.html
Happy reading!
EEK! The Prey sounds really great, but after your comment above, since you hated the Hunt, maybe it'd be better off for a giveaway or something? ;P And I've heard fantastic things about Teeth apparently it's supposed to be REALLY hilarious! Or is that another book? Meh.
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul!
Ooh! The Prey! I've been dying to read that since I finished The Hunt :)
ReplyDeleteJesse @ Pretty In Fiction
The Prey! Can't wait to read that one!
ReplyDeleteOur Media Mail post is at Book Sake. –Jessica
The blog design that you did for Kenya is lovely. I really love how dramatic and cozy it is.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, *coughs* if you need someone to take that sequel to The Hunt off your hands *cough*, let me know. LOL.
I need a vlog from you soon, lady. O_O
The Rules For Disappearing looks pretty good! I hope to check that one out soon :) I hope you enjoy everything!
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Dude!! The cover for Teeth looks awesome!! I really want to read that one eventually. I got Ethan too and am reading it today. Love your designs babe!! As always they look fab!!
ReplyDeleteNice books! I read Ethan's story and love it. Enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteYour relationship with your ereader almost made me spittake on my keyboard.
ReplyDeleteAlmost.
You cannot get me, Giselle!
I haven't heard of any of these before, but I hope you like them!
ReplyDeleteMy book post is here.
