Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (48)

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

Yay happy spring! Although we still got a snow storm this week so boo-urns to that! But it means summers is next! 😀  So I don’t have much to highlight this week no tours stopped by and no new giveaways *sad face* Are you using BlogLovin by the way? If you hadn’t heard yet Google Reader is leaving and this is a pretty awesome alternative! If so you can follow me via the button below (and on sidebar). We’ll be going more into this next week in our Book Girls Don’t Cry posts! 😉

Survivor’s kit:

 And this hilariously awesome “survivor’s kit” came with The 5th Wave! I love it! >.< I also already ate the fruit things, of wells! I'm going to die if I ever have to live in the wilds!

 

*A big thanks to Penguin Canada, Macmillan Audio, Disney Book Group, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Atria books for these amazeball pretties!*

That’s all for me, lovelies!
Link me to your book haul in the comments! 🙂
XOXO!

    That’s an awesome kit that came with Fifth Wave! I got a similar little ‘survival kit’ when I was sent The Farm. So fun. 🙂 Tumble & Fall sounds fantastic and I need Not a Drop to Drink so badly. The new cover for Friday Never Leaving is crazy! Happy Reading! 😀

  4. Shelley Romano

    Got to love all the new titles that released from HC this week! I totally wish I was pre-approved so I could start reading them like now! Love the 5th Wave Kit as well! Enjoy your reading and have a great day!

  8. Melanie

    I see a bunch of great titles there, Giselle. I received a review copy of The 5th Wave and I’m so excited to start it >.< That survival kit looks really awesome!

  11. Megan K.

    TUMBLE & FALL, THE 5TH WAVE, FRIDAY NEVER LEAVING and HOPELESS? Giselle, I hope you know you’re extremely lucky. I’m like totes serious. O_O I requested BLACKOUT, NOT A DROP TO DRINK and FIND ME from Edelweiss as well, but so far I haven’t had any response yet. :/

    Anyway, all these are books I’m really excited for! So I hope they live up to our expectations. Looking forward to your thoughts on them. Have a lovely week, muffin!

  13. Kathy Ann Coleman

    I really need to pick up Hopeless. I keep meaning to do that and just … don’t get to it?

    Eat Brains Love?! Bahahaha! What an awesome title. 😀 That’s just priceless.

    And your survivor kit looks awesome. Though, like you, I’m sure the fruit would already be gone here, too. :p

    Have a great week. Trying out Blog Lovin’ now. I don’t use Google Reader–I like that thing on the Blogger main page. But I’m sure it’ll die too, so I should find an alternative *now*. Worth a go, no?

  15. Paige

    I’m so jealous of all the books you got this week! I can’t wait to read The Moon and More it seems like it’s going to be really good! I hope you enjoy everything you got this week 🙂

    Dude, your haul this week is sick! SICK!! I love that you have some of the same review books that Jenni got this week and I can’t wait to see what you both think of them. HOPELESS!!!!! Love, love, love this book so much. As I said on Thursday, you MUST read it soon, Giselle! I want to read that Virus book – dat cover *drools* Have a GREAT Sunday, babe! x

  25. Amy

    So many awesome books this week!! OMG I forgot to download Eat Brains Love. Need to go on Edelweiss and get it. I can’t wait to see what you think of that audiobook. I almost got it, but then changed my mind. Love the survival kit that came with The 5th Wave!! That’s super cool!!

  26. Sam

    Oh boy, that cover for Friday Brown is creepy as hell! It’s also a little gross. O_O The book is brilliant though, so I hope you enjoy it! Love the 5th wave survival kit! I’ve heard such great things about that book. I’m diving into my own copy soon. I can’t wait to see what you think of all of these! 🙂

  28. Aylee

    Hold up – is that a tampon in the survival kit?! LOL, what a great idea to promote the book! Cannot wait to read it myself; I LOVE Rick Yancey’s writing!! I’ve also heard amazing things about the Colleen Hoover and Sarah Dessen book, so it seems like you are likely in for a treat with your books this week! Hope you have a great reading week, Giselle!!

  29. Renae M.

    WHOA, I’m honestly a teensy bit jealous of this haul, Giselle! So many books I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on! Might have to make a trip up to Canada to steal them…I mean, WHAT?

    Especially excited for: The 5th Wave, Blackout, Not a Drop to Drink.

    Hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!

  30. Lauren

    Yay! You got the 5th Wave and a badass survival kit!! I’m loving this one so far. Can’t wait to hear what you think. And ooh so many other lovelies! Happy reading 🙂

  31. Alba

    The Brokenhearted!!!
    OH MY GOD!!
    That cover is Genius!!

    And Hopeless! I’ve read tons of amazing things about ti!!!!!!

    O_O

    Happy Reading!!!

    GISELLE HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAP. I’m just like, drooling all over your books that you got this week. I’m so so excited for Black Out, The Moon and More, and The 5th Wave! LOOOOLL. You’re hilarious, I’m so curious to see what you think of an erotica audiobook. O__O Happy reading!

  33. Jennifer Messerschmidt

    LOL I would die in the wild too because I would eat my entire food supply in one day, lay down take a nap, and be murdered in my sleep. The 5th Wave sounds very intriguing! Tumble & Fall has such a gorgeous cover! Really want to read Not A Drop To Drink and Hopeless. I still need to read something by Sarah Dessen. Enjoy your haul1

  34. Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)

    Yes! The Moon and More! I can’t wait to read that one! I wish I could read it now, but I have too many in my queue.

    LOVE that you got an audiobook for review! I’d love to review audiobooks for publishers sometime, but I have no clue how to go about it. Erotica sounds like an interesting first. 😉

    Hope you have a good week, Giselle!

  35. lilybloombooks

    OH my! You are BRAVE! Tell me if you can keep a straight face while listening to it! HAHAHA 😛

    I am still on the fence about Hopeless. I read a spoiler (since someone didn’t say there was one there) and I’m not sure about some of it.. And I love the survival kit. My husband made me one and let me tell you, I’ll take yours anyday (it has FRUIT SNACKS! He gave me tuna.)

    Anyway- Great Haul! 🙂

  36. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    Ugh we had a huge snow storm here this week too, it’s freaking March mother nature, back the fuck off! But anyway I can’t wait to read The 5th Wave, so hurry up and read it *pokes you* Sylo also looks really cool, the only place I have ever seen it is on your blog, did you make this book up?

  38. Nereyda @Mostly YA Book Obsessed

    I know I’ve said it lots of time but one more won’t hurt so here I go: You gotta read Hopeless! I know you said you have it coming up and I really hope you like it! That book was just…no words. I couldn’t even do a proper review for that book. Her other books (Slammed and Point of Retreat are REALLY good too)
    I wish I were auto approved for HT books from Edelweiss. They always make me wait like a month to finally approve me. Really looking forward to The Broken-Hearted.
    I got Sylo last week and I had never heard of it. I think it’s a dystopia and sadly dystopias and I are not the best of friends. I might have to find it a new home.
    I loved my backback and survival kit from The 5th Wave and I would have preferred the tampon to the can of sardines.
    Awesome book haul, looking forward to these reviews!

  39. Micheline D

    hahaha I would have loved to see your face when you opened up that survival kit!! I’m really curious about how you’ll like The 5th Wave! I still haven’t checked out False Memory but I want to. Oh and I’ve heard great things about Colleen Hoover & Sarah Dessen 🙂 Happy reading!

    PS- loved the usage of ‘booo-urns’ XD

  40. Kara_Malinczak

    I hate you right now. You have Friday Brown, The 5th Wave, Tumble & Fall, and Not a Drop to Drink. I want them all so badly. And I think I am the last one to not get a copy of some of these. *cries*
