Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews featuring the books we got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week.


Woot only a few more weeks until the beginning of spring and I don’t know about you but I am ready for this winter to be over! We got about 40cm of snow just this past week and now it’s raining! What a mess! I took a picture of my view from my car in the driveway here O_O Yeppers! So on the blog this week Jenni and I talked about why we loved being bloggers and readers – you can check that out here. And there’s also time to enter the Birthday Cover Madness giveaway here! I got some birthday bookish gifts this week, and then some review copies as well! So let’s go see the pretties!

Hello! This week I’m not doing a vlog because my mouth is all wonky.  If you follow me on Twitter you probably know that I went in a got a tooth pulled at the dentist and I am still talking all weird because of the swollen jaw and such.  The dentist SUCKS! I didn’t get many books this week anyway so it all works out in the end.  Here are the few things I did add to my shelves in the past two weeks:

I came across this boxset at Costco and I can never say no to a good priced set.  It was only $39.99 so I just…

I haven’t done an STS in a while so I hope that 2014 is off to a good start so far. In case some of you have been hiding out in the real world, Jenni who was at Alluring Reads is now part of Xpresso Reads as my new co-blogger! And for STS posts we decided to each do it every other week, so next week will be Jenni’s, and the week after will be me etc. So anyways, I’ve been avoiding shopping in general – including book stores – since the holidays so despite not doing a book haul post…

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews featuring the books we got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week. I can’t believe Christmas is here eeek! I love this time of year! I hope everyone has a wonderful week, a great holiday, and make sure to stuff your faces too! Just a note that Xpresso Reads is going on a short hiatus until after the holidays. I want to enjoy time with family instead of worrying about posts and blogging. We also all need a breather once in a while, ya know. I do, however, have a couple of holiday giveaway posts pre-scheduled to go up this week so you can still expect a bit of life on this site. I will…

Can you believe there’s only 10 days before Christmas? Eep! And after this week I have 2 weeks vacation where I don’t have to check my email ONCE! Woot! And then it will be 2014!
