Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (51)

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

How is everyone this lovely April’s day? Well it’s not so lovely here we got snow today–what the hay? *poos on snow* I had a pretty uneventful week so I don’t have anything to highlight actually. So let’s just get down to business! 😉

    I really want to read Eleanor & Park and Just One Day! I’ve heard amaaaaazing things about both. The Only Exception looks really good too, though I’m not a huge fan about the American Flag colors on it. lol. I think I was offered to read The Testing, but declined. Hm, maybe I’ll try it after I hear your thoughts! Great haul, Giselle 🙂

    Hey!! I was sorry that you didn’t enjoy Taken – another case of wonderful cover, not matching the inside.

    I’ve heard of The Testing around the blogosphere, I’m really keen to read it! I hope you enjoy it 😀

    Come and check out my weekly book haul feature, Stocktake Saturday.

  7. Leigh @ Little Book Star

    Ooh.. I got The Testing too, sadly it wasn’t my cup of tea. Can’t wait to see your thoughts on it though. Maybe you’ll like it. The book was just too much like The Hunger Games. Great haul!

  8. Jenni @ Alluring Reads

    YAY! You got Just One Day! I had no idea *dances around* Your book haul is full of contemporary greatness this week, seriously I want to make out with this post. I hope you love both of them or we are going to have to have a serious talk missy! Oh Oh and I hope we both love the testing and that you like the sequel to diaper book!

  10. Michelle @ In Libris Veritas

    I received The Testing this week too and so far I’m really liking it, so I’ll be curious to see what you think as well. I hope it warms up again there…I’m so over the colder weather and if it snowed here I think I would cry, lol.

    I hope you enjoy your new books!

    I just recently bought Eleanor & Park too and I am very excited about it for some reason, even thoguh contemporary is not usually my thing. But it’s been getting all these awesome reviews and I just can’t resist. I got The Testing too, and I didn’t even bother to learn what it’s about. 🙂
    Enjoy your pretties, Giselle!

  13. Caro [The Book Rogue]

    I heard great things about Gayle Forman’s books, so I gifted Just One Day although I haven’t read anything by him yet. Hope you’re gonna enjoy it!
    And I got an e-mail for The Testing, but I can’t open the file =( so I’ll probably have to skip out on that.

    Eleanor and park. Okay. Done. Buying this right now before it nags me that everyone has a copy. Hope it doesn’t disappoint! >.< Just One Day really was AMAZEBALLS, I think I cried too, I'm emotional like that :p

    Awesome haul Giselle, and have a great week <3

  15. Sam

    Snow! You’re still getting snow? Is that normal? Hah. 🙂 So pleased to see Just One Day up there! I really loved it and hope you do too. Eleanor and Park is one that I still need to read. I’ve heard great things about it. 🙂

  16. Louise @ Readers Confession

    I’ve heard some awesome things about Eleanor and Park, I’m a child of the 80’s so I’ll be reading it soon. I love books that have an 80’s link to them. I didn’t like Anna and the French Kiss that much so I’m a little scared of Eleanor and Park..

  19. Grace Fonseca

    Nice haul Giselle. Jenni is a sweetheart for sending you Eleanore & Park. I meet the author at the Teen Author Festival a few weeks ago. She seemed nice. At some point will pick this up. The other books look interseting.

    I got The Testing as well. I’m interested to know what you thought about it. (Well, clearly I am interested in your book thoughts in general as I subscribe to you blog ;))

  23. Princess Ash

    I’m such a failure because I have yet to read Just One Day even though the copy from the library is giving me a dirty look.

    And: ELEANOR & PARK. Everybody and the mother’s brother’s dog loved this book and it’s making me feel anxious as it sits in my Amazon cart. Meh.

    Have an excellent week, dahling!

  24. Micheline D

    Nice haul! I’ve heard great things about Elanor and Park too…and same goes for Just One Day – I hope you’ll be just as lucky with them 🙂 And I love how they moved The Survivors diaper…now it’s set right beside him…maybe it’s full?? LMAO Bleh!

    Anyways congrats on ALL these & happy reading ♥

  29. Sarah Elizabeth

    My haul was short this week until saturday, and then I went a little mad and ended up with loads of books! Hope you enjoy these, I’ve heard great things about Eleanor and Park!

  31. Carmen B.

    Just One Day is one of the best books I’ve read all year!! Prepare to cry though 😉 I think I also got The Testing but I forgot to add it to my post. I haven’t heard of the other novels but I hope you enjoy them all 🙂 Have a nice rest of the Sunday!

    I still need to read Just One Day. But I have it and I hear it’s amazing!I hope you love it! I decided not to request The Testing as I have a bad feeling about that one but a lot of bloggers got it this week so I am sure I will find out the results soon!

  40. Megan K.

    :O ELEANOR & PARK! Oh, Jenni has been spoiling you, Giselle! 😛 Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that one, because I’m hoping to get to it soon. Also, I received an invite to read The Testing but misread the email and thought I had plenty of time to download it. So when I DID want to download it into my comp, I found that it’d already been archived ._. Sucks to be me. Oh well. I hope you enjoy it!

    Hope you have a fab week, cupcake!
