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.
How's everyone enjoying 2013 so far? I had a great vacation, but now I'm kind of paying for it by being extremely busy. But when you love your job it ain't so bad! So hey, I just realized I never officially announced it but I'm sure you have noticed something different on the blog! I sure hope so ;) Xpresso Reads needed a change. I outgrew the pink and girly, wanting something more chic and grown up so I decided to give it a makeover. Thanks so much for all the lovely comments on it I was overwhelmed with the reactions it got, and so happy because I'm truly loving it and plan to keep this one for a very long time! It's amazing how much it renewed my love of blogging.This week at Xpresso Reads
Anyhow, enough about moi. Did you all enter the epic new years giveaways I had posted? One is over but the other is still on for a couple of days! Enter to win your book of choice here.

Some lovely New Adult reads this week, Giselle! I'm seriously excited for all three of these, I haven't read any of them. I hope to see your reviews for all of these soon! And *drools* I WANT YOUR LAPTOP.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Giselle!
Eeeeep I got Ten Tiny Breaths and Hopeless this week too! Great minds think alike. Also, so excited about the MacBook, you're going to make some hot blogs on that thing!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious about Losing It, and I love that pic of your Macs- they look like the three bears from Goldilox and the Three Bears haha
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!!!
Great books this week. I have Hopeless and can't wait to read it, have heard wonderful things about it. Ten Tiny Breaths sounds interesting too will have to check it out. Love your Macs, I'm a Microsoft girl myself, but they do look lovely. Happy reading and enjoy blogging on your new machine!

Three Mac's. Man you are one busy lady. I really like the cover for K.A. Tucker's book Ten Tiny Breaths. Nice haul.
ReplyDeleteGrace
That cover for Hopeless is so neat! I love the effects done on it. Also, I don't know if I've said this before, but I really do love your new design, Giselle! When I redid my blog design, my blogging love was renewed as well. It's just amazing what a change can do! <3 Also, yay for getting a new Mac!! I seriously want one, and since my family has slowly started adopting Apple products, I hope we can get a Mac. ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic haul Giselle! Enjoy your lovlies.
Oh my aching wisdom teeth, THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL! First, I want to say these new graphics are gorgeous. Totally fashionable, sparkly, and I LOVES THEM. Second, back to your new computers, I must reiterate: THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL. Duuuuude, how do you ever go outside with those in your possession?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah and the books. Which we're all actually supposed to be here for. THEY'LL BE AWESOME, I'm sure. OH. BUT THE COMPUTERS. xD
Oh my god! That is a great Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteOh and I haven't read any of those books. But they sound great. I'm definitely gonna give them a go! Btw, did you notice this new follower aboard?
YAY FOR MACs!!! I'm a fan, big big fan :-D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your gift and your reads!

Awesome haul! TEN TINY BREATHS was actually quite a good read. Not perfect (I have yet to read a really good NA book), but still pretty enjoyable. :) Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteOH-EM-GEEE. A NEW LAPTOP. AND A MAC, NO LESS. I'm still stuck using this dinosaur, called Dell. :/ That is definitely an AWESOME Christmas present!

*Stares wide-eyed* Its a Macbook!! And it's so pretty! :D I'm currently saving up for one but at the rate I'm going it'll be a miracle if I'm able to buy it by December xD Awesome books!! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteIs your new mac a color other than silver. It looks bronze or gold. made the switch about a year ago to Mac. Was a good move.
ReplyDeleteNo it's silver :) It's just the lighting making it look bronze.
DeleteI've been hearing a lot about Hopeless lately and I'm getting very curious about it. I hope you enjoy all your pretties! (including that special shiny laptop)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
