Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (41)

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

Happy February, lovelies! Any big plans for V-Day? Ours will be surviving the cold O_O So this week was the launch of our Book Girls Don’t Cry feature and are we ever so happy with the reactions! Aside from giveaway posts, it got the most page views of January and everyone was so involved in the comments it was freaking awesome! I couldn’t even keep up with the replies–I  really tried!! So, I’m thinking this feature is a hit and we’re so excited! You might have seen but I put the banner on the sidebar which leads you to the BGDC page to find post links and a place where you can leave suggestions–which you can also do right here! 😉

Oh and don’t forget to enter the YA Giveaway on the blog! It ends tomorrow!

*A huge thank you to HarperCollins for these pretties!*

I also bought:
My sister is reading this and she was telling me about it I thought it sounded so good! I’d heard of it before of course it was a Goodreads Awards winner etc so I want to see what it’s all about finally!

That’s all for me this week! 
Link me up to your book haul post! 🙂

    oooh wow I don’t think I’ve heard of any of those books, been out of the loop for too long I think 🙁 I’ll have to look them up! Looks like you’ve had a busy week!

    My plans for v-day will probably involve a good book and a bottle of wine 🙂

    Happy Reading!

    In the After! Ahhh I can’t wait for that one, apocalypse forever, baby! Can you tell I’m excited 😉

    Gone Girl is such a head f*** – I was like :-O the whole way through!

  13. Silverlight

    I need to pick up Gone Girl, too.
    I just picked up Gillian’s debut novel, Sharp Objects yesterday. Stephen King blurbed on the back cover, sharing his praise for it, so I’m thinking it’s really good! Have a great week!!

  14. Sam

    Gone Girl has had so much praise in the past! I still need to read it myself. I can’t wait to see what you think of Rush, too. I really like the sound of that book. Gorgeous cover!

  15. Amy

    Awesome haul this week babe!! Edelweiss is killing me with all of the super awesome Harper titles that are going up!! Love the banner you made for Kara and the design for Bookish Escape.

  20. Jasprit

    Yay for Gone Girl Giselle, that was one of my favourite reads of last year, so I can’t wait to see what you think. Rush also has a excellent premise and gorgeous cover, so I hope that it lives up to your expectations! Happy reading! 🙂

    I freaking love the banner and button you did for Kara & Lyn’s giveaway. Darkly romantic! Maybe I need a banner too hmm…. I should never come to your blog!

    I still haven’t heard back from EW so I am super jealous of your haul this week again. I got Gone GIrl with some of my xmas money and can’t wait to read it! Maybe a team read? I will break you down one day!

  27. Sarah (saz101)

    Oooooh, Giselle, the cover for RUSH is GORGEOOOOUS. Reminds me a little of The Prey, I think? And GONE GIRL! I keep hearing such amazing things and I hope you LOVE it.

    Lindy’s Twitter BG is gorgeous, too! ♥

    Great haul! I want everything! LOL I have Gone Girl but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. It has a million wonderful reviews and lots of hype. I love a good mystery. Undercurrent, Rush, and In The After all sound fab! Happy reading!
