Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (18)

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

Hi lovely people! So school is almost here again. For me, that means the end of summer which is depressing so we won’t talk about it, k? I had a super busy week on the blog here so let’s see if you missed something. The Defiance Blog Tour made a stop on Tuesday, you can check my review and CJ’s favorite movies. And on Friday I had the Authors Are Rockstars tour stop by, find out who my rockstar is! 😉 I also posted the cover reveal for Timeless by Michelle Madow which includes an epic giveaway so make sure to check that out. There is another giveaway I posted this week: win a copy of Yesterday by CK Kelley Martin which sounds and looks great!

Did you miss any new covers this week? Have a look!  Like my page to keep up with my regular cover reveals!

Bloggy Awards
The voting starts today (Sunday) for the Bloggy Awards! 
You might see yours truly in the polls! 😉

    AHHHHH accent! No seriously though, I love yours and Cindy’s (@Tynga’s Reviews) accents- I’m a cruddy Canadian who can only speak English (on occasion… 😉 ).

    I’ve never heard of THIS IS NOT A DRILL before, but now I am really curious about it. *Off to Goodreads*

  2. Eileen

    Yay This is Not a Drill looks soo good! 🙂 And I’m glad you liked Feed so much! And yes lol you vlogs are the only I look forward to on Sundays 😉 So I was like “NOOOO WHERE IS GISELLE?!” when I saw you didn’t do a vlog 😉 But awesome haul I hope you end up liking that angel book and all your others!

  3. Giselle

    @Eileen: The angel books are her other series. Violet Midnight has like vampires and stuff.

    @Avery: Haha thanks! I hate my accent! But I love all other accents haha, especially English (England)! <3

  5. Lalaine

    Youve got TINAD! Im dying to read that one. I wasnt able to watch your vid, slow net. *sighs* but I hope you enjoy all of this haul. Feed im in the middle of reading this one. xoxo

  6. Sabina

    You are the second person I’ve come across talking about Feed and Deadline. I’ve now added Feed to my TBR list. I’ve added This is not a drill too as it sounds like a good read. Thanks for sharing!

    my STS =)

  7. Alba

    oh my GOD!
    First of all!
    Wheres my all-time rival today???
    I don’t see her being the first commenter!
    And second…

    Lucky much?’?
    I’ve been really curious about feed for a while now… Excited!!

    Enjoy them all! <333

    Oh!! And already voted on the bloggy awards 😀
    You’re definitely nice <333333

  8. Kara_Malinczak

    I can’t wait to start the Feed series. I bought book one based on so many wonderful reviews so I am all set to go as soon as I have the time. Glad to see you are still enjoying the series!

  9. Jen

    I missed your vlogs very much! I would love it if you did it every week, even if you don’t get very many books. 🙂 I’ve definitely add Mira’s books to my to-read list after I saw your review for book 1! I can’t wait to see the cover for Violet Midnight. Great haul this week, Giselle! 🙂

  13. Marie Ifmarybooks

    That’s a great vlog :). I don’t know any of these books but I hope you’ll enjoy reading them !
    Love your accent :). I’m french and I don’t want to do vlogs because i’m sure I’ll sound ridiculous so I really admire you ^^.
    Happy reading !

  18. Carina

    Lovely vlog, my dear!
    Really like the sound of the books you got this week – especially FEED has been on my radar for a while and I should probably get a copy of it soon. 🙂 Happy reading!

  24. Sarah Elizabeth

    Ooh, not many this week! I once again bought more books than I read, but I did pick up ‘black swan rising’ and the black dagger brotherhood insiders guide for only 50p each so they were super bargains! Will check out your review of feed as I have it but haven’t gotten round to reading it yet!

  28. Amy

    Yay!! Missed your face chick!! I still haven’t read Feed even though I bought it last year. I think I am going to get the audiobook from my library. They have both Feed and Deadline. This Is Not A Drill sounds really good. Great books this week!

  30. Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)

    Great books this week!! I’m jealous of This is Not a Drill … it looks super good! As do the Mira Grant books … I’ve heard AMAZING things about them! I just hate that the first one is so tiny (like Mass Market) … I wish there was a better copy available. Might be an eBook purchase for me.

    Enjoy your reading!

  42. ShreShre

    Lovely haul! 😀 Your really liking that Feed series aren’t you Giselle? 😉 And I really want to see that cover for that coverless one ;D Enjoy Giselle! <3

  44. Sharrice Hewlett

    Wow I have never heard or seen any of these books. Feeling a tad out of the loop 8) Yeah I haven’t read Born Wicked yet either. I just ordered it yesterday so my swag does not feel alone. haha. Onyx was complete awesomesauce!! Love your accent by the way…not to sound creepy or anything just saying. 8) Happy Reading and thank you for checking out my blog.

  46. Shooting Stars Mag

    This is Not a Drill sounds great. I randomly recieved a copy; hadn’t heard of it before. I’m curious to check it out though. I really want to read Need and all those- they look great. Awesome week.

    It’s lovely to see your vlog 🙂 This is not a Drill sounds really good. It’s great to hear that you love the Feed series! Have a beautiful week – can’t believe it’s going to be the last week of August O_O

  57. Sharon ObsessionwithBooks

    A nice haul Giselle! I am really keen to read This is Not a Drill & it’s the first I have heard of Feed & Deadline so I’ll have to check them out.

    Happy reading 🙂

    Thanks for stopping by my StS!

  61. Shelly Greninger

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I accidentally deleted your comment when I hit the button to publish on my phone…darn tiny screen/big fingers! Anyway, great haul this week! I am now a new follower.

  62. Sam

    Violet Eden and This is Not a Drill both sound really interesting. I can’t wait to see what you think! Great haul, Giselle. 🙂

  69. Cayce

    I’ve never heard of This is Not A Drill, but it sounds really interesting. The zombie series (Feed, Deadline) is on my tbr, someday I’ll get to it 🙂

    Enjoy your books, Giselle! 🙂

    Great haul, sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation in Alberta (I live in Southern Ontario, so you can probably imagine how long that would take by car, while stopping at a hotel for the nights, very exhausting) and just came back last night. Thanks for stopping by the blog.
