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 was the first week back at work/school? I hardly had time to drink coffee *blasphemy* so I didn't even see the freaking week go by! The blog was pretty busy too--especially giveaway wize--I had the Cadet of Tildor tour drop by, as well as the Cinder paperback tour just yesterday with sweet giveaways so check those out! Also, I received extra copies of some great ARCs that I'm giving away here. And I have a giveaway going on at Xpresso Book Tours in case you missed it! ;)This week at Xpresso Reads

Link me up to your book haul post! :)
So many fantastic looking books! Really interested in seeing what you think of The Lost Girl.. that's one I'd really like to get to this year. And The Ruining! I really like the updated cover a lot better. Happy Reading! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the lovelies! I can't even right now, Giselle, you got so many of my anticipated reads for 2013!
ReplyDeleteThe Book of Broken Hearts's cover is absolutely amazing. I'm in love with it. Seriously, I'm already planning to buy for the sole reason of the cover- just look at that gorgeous purple color. And the contrast of the orange flower is beautiful. I just love it! I hope the book turns out to be good as well, so I have even more reason to buy it. ;)
Dare You To is also another one I'm super hyped up about! I loved Pushing the Limits to pieces, and I already can't wait to pick this one up. I hope it's as good as the first. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea also sounds super unique and creepy, which is always a fabulous combination in books. ;)
Enjoy all your fabulous books, Giselle! <3 Hope they all turn out to be as fabulous as they look. =)
Wow! Great haul this week! and I like your whole weekly update! I will have to check out your Alexander death Review, I love the Paranormal Series! My Stacking the Shelves ~ Katie @ Inkk

ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Oooo... Dare You To, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea AND The Book Of Broken Hearts?! Looks like this week was super good to you! :) Happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I saw Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea up on ED the other day, but I decided to wait for more reviews to come in before requesting it. The cover is gorgeous and the synopsis has me intrigued, though. :)
ReplyDeleteDare You To!!! Yaaaay!!! Can't wait for this one!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your newbie reads :)
Between the devil and the deep blue sea! Lucky you :D And ashes on the waves sounds great as well. Happy reading Giselle!
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your awesome haul, Giselle!
Giselle.
ReplyDeleteI can't even.
This has to be the most epic haul EVER. Did you happy dance? Because I SURE WOULD HAVE. *glares at Giselle* I WANT ALL OF THOSE BOOKS.
Happy reading, darling! ;)
Amazing haul, Giselle! Can't wait to hear what you have to share on The Lost Girl, Prodigy and The Book of Broken Hearts. Have an awesome week :)

Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally entered that giveaway and tweeted a couple of times. I better win! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou got some great books this week. I'm not sure if any of them are books that I would want and I am on the fence about a couple of them, but a few good reviews could convince me to try them.
Great cheery and bright blog design this week. I love it!
Dare You To and Book of Broken Hearts?! AH. So many good books this week. I hope you enjoy all of them! (:
ReplyDeleteMy StS
Dare You To looks so good!! And Lullaby I'm very curious about. Great list. Check out ours: http://bibliojunkies.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-peek-in-biblio-bin-46.html
ReplyDeleteAwesome books! Enjoy them all :)
ReplyDelete*puts on bright green hat of envy* Ashes on the Waves! Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea! Lullaby! WANT!
ReplyDeleteNote: One of these I am not actually jealous of. Can you guess which?
Oh good for you, you've gotten some pretty cool books :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me ridiculously happy to see you getting some NA books. I hope you like them. Hopeless! Read Hopeless! Or any Colleen Hoover book will do but Hopeless!
ReplyDeleteDare You To! Can’t wait! I have Down to You too but haven’t read it yet. My sister did and really liked it though. Sea of Tranquility is on my soon-to-be-read list. I haven’t read a Sarah Ockler book yet and I’m not of big fan of this cover…
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA!!!
Congrats on all the awesome books :)
I've never heard of 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea', but boy, is that an interesting title and lovely cover! I will definitely have to look out for that one on the review blogs. I also love the cover for Paper Valentine, I can't wait to hear what you think of those two.
ReplyDeleteYou can see the books I got this week here.

I can't wait to read The Book of Broken Hearts! I loved Bittersweet so I have high expectations for that one. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea sounds really intriguing and the cover looks fabulous! Happy reading :)
