Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (40)

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

Wow what a week. Ok so, did you all see the new feature that we’re launching next week? If you missed it, have a look here! 😉 So we’re all excited to start that. And honestly other than that I have not much to say this week. Hmm. So let me slather you with the cute! My devil had a haircut today:

That is all.

I received for review:

Ok I went a lil crazy on EW this week, but hello!! Holy tempting!

*Big thanks to HarperCollins and Karina Halle for this epic haul!*

And… a special thanks to JL Bryan for sending me such an epic review request that I could not have said no even if I wanted to (Which I didn’t because this series rocks!. This was sent last week but I forgot to put it in my StS so here it is!

That’s all, muffins! 
Link me up to your book haul post! 🙂

    Your son is adorable. I so like that Edelweiss had some of those great Harper titles as well. Awesome haul. I like what you did with the Good Choice Reading site.

    That wonderful review request has reminded me to read past Jenny Pox. I can’t believe I haven’t gotten around to reading his other books yet! The tyke looks adorable, too. 🙂

    That email is hilarious. What a great haul! Another Little Peice is going on my wishlist based on the cover alone! Probably going to add Transparent as well! Thanks for sharing!

    LMAO! Before I read that the review request was from someone you knew I was like what is that! But then I died laughing. He has a great sense of humor! I still need to start The Jenny Pox series. Great haul this week! I might need to head over to EW. Parallel, Reboot, Transparent, Life After Theft, The Ward, and The Collector all sound amazing! Happy reading!

    TOO. MANY. GOOD. BOOKS!!!!

    Erm… apologies for my moment of what could be unbridled jealousy. (Get a grip, man).

    I love the synopses for The Ward, Left After Theft, Reboot, Transparent and, especially, Parallel. (Yes, I am such a geek). I hope they all get Kindle releases in the UK when they’re released between April and June.

    Enjoy all of your reads.

    PS – The li’l devil looks cute after having his ears lowered. 🙂

  15. Sam

    Oh I love the new look at Good Choice Reading! That’s probably my favourite of all your designs to date. 🙂 Great haul this week. Edelweiss was far too tempting! I made myself hold back but still had to grab a couple. 😉 I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of these.

  16. Silverlight

    The Collector and Born Of Illusions are on my TBR list hopefully I’ll get approved for Born! Love, the cuties hc, he looks so handsome–>little man. What a great e-mail, too funny–great that you shared it, lol

  17. Carina

    Love that review request! 😀

    And yay! for so many über-awesome books. I really want to read a few of these, but haven’t heard of some others, so I really have to take a closer look at them. Happy reading! I’m already looking forward to hear what you think of them!

    The Ward looks SO good! Can’t wait to try that one someday. Too adorable that little devil btw! I had The Archived waiting on my doorstep from the author the other night, but it was too late for us to throw a vlog together so it will wait for next week. Oh well. Happy reading my dear!
