Bought, Bagged and Wrapping it Up is where I share my new books, as well as what happened here at (un)Conventional Bookviews and elsewhere in the blogoshpere. I’m linking up with the usual suspects, AKA Team Tynga’s Reviews, Talk Supe and Caffeinated Reviewer.
STS #149 – Bought Borrowed & Bagged #99
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to your library – virtual or actual, with books that are bought, borrowed, won or ARCs you will be reading soon. Bought Borrowed and Bagged is a homage to to Barron’s Books and Baubles from KMM’ Fever series, and is hosted by Braine over at Talk Supe. Without further ado, here’s what I bought, borrowed or bagged this past week:
Thank you, Pocket Books, Harlequin and Netgalley!
The Sunday Post #99 – Wrapping it Up
Kim @ The Caffeinated Reviewer, is our hostess with the mostest for the weekly Sunday Post where I’m wrapping things up. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere.
Not much happened for me, personally, this week. We got our new couches, and it took us forever to put them together. My youngest kids went back to school, so the house was a bit more quiet, but apart from that, everything kept moving on as usual. Next week is going to be different, though 😀 On Wednesday, Mr. Lex and I are going to NYC for a few days. Both to celebrate his 50th birthday, and the fact that we met 26 years ago 🙂 We have some fun stuff planned, but mostly, we’re excited about being just the two of us for a few days.

- [1 Sep] Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #80 – The Trouble with Mistletoe

Quiet weeks are nice. Have fun in NYC and happy early birthday to Mr. Lex. 🙂
That last picture with the rainbow behind Freddy is neat.
Blood Red Kiss looks great with favorite PNR writers all together in one.
Quiet weeks are nice every now and then, Sophia 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
NYC! That should be an awesome trip. Good for you guys- enjoy! And love the rainbow pic.
A Torch Against the Night seems to be getting a lot of attention! Must be good… and I like that cover of Blood Red Kiss too. Have a great weekend. 🙂
I can’t wait, Greg 🙂 Of course, not there’s only one more day left, too, so I’ll be OK.

Awesome haul of books. I hope you love all of your new books. Freddie looks like he wants to explore everything. I like the picture of him with the rainbow in the background.

Enjoy your new books!
I love getting new stuff, and couches are fun. Have great comfy reads on them.
I’m curious about Exhume…..
Great haul! And those Freddy pics are as lovely as always 🙂 Thanks for sharing them. Happy reading and have a great weekend.

I love seeing doggy photos. 😀 Check out all of your new books! I got my preorder of A Torch Against the Night as well. I didn’t really love the book, but I like the series in general, so I’ll keep going with it. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Have a fabulous weekend, Lexxie. 🙂
Check out my STS post!
I read Her Naughty Holiday by Tiffany Reisz for RT Book Reviews and really enjoyed it. Prepare for a laugh lol. Enjoy your week Lexxie!!
Ooh new couches? Plenty of work, I’m sure, but getting new things is always exciting 😀 And your trip to NYC sounds like it’ll be fun! I’ve only been there once, when I was a teen, but I loved it and always wanted to go back. Have a great time!
We got some of the same books. Ooo have fun in NY! Those are both great reasons to go.
Your trip sounds like so much fun! I went to NYC last year, and it’s a ton of fun. Hope that your kids are enjoying school, and have a good week! 🙂
Oh Lexxie NYC, that sounds great! Very exciting! (And kid-free!!!)
I’m getting some new furniture delivered this week and am already dreading the idea of trying to put it together… Particularly alone, cos it’s sometimes hard to hold one end and do something with the other!
I’ve seen so many people buying When Stars Collide and Rae of Sunshine on their posts. Is there something I’m missing! I haven’t heard of those at all. But will have to check them out. Have a great Sunday and happy reading! 🙂
I saw a review for on of those on Latte Night Reviews, Emma, and the first book is free for kindle, the second only $0.99 🙂 That plus the favorable review made me one-click both 😉
Oooh! Those covers are fantastic <3 I hope you enjoy your time in NYC, 26 years is such a long time! 😀
Yippeee, you got A Torch Against the Night too! I’m looking forward to read it! New couches are exciting, we have to order ours soon too. I know it’s going to take forever to arrive. Awww happy birthday and anniversary Lexxie, that’s such an impressive anniversary and time spent together! Have the best time.
Have fun in NYC!!! I haven’t been there since I was 16 but I loved it! I grabbed Exhume as my kindle first pick this month as well! Looks interesting!
Happy birthday to Mr. Lex 🙂
I am loving A torch against the Night on audio!!!

OMG, you will be sooooo close!!! I hope you have a great time. I would say give me a call maybe we can get together but I don’t want to interrupt your quiet time with your honey 🙂 Please wish him a Happy Birthday!
Awwww! Freddy is getting so big but still such a cutie!!!
Have a great week, Lexxie! Happy Reading! ox
Have fun in NYC! I haven’t been back since BEA 14 and I want to go SO BAD!
I will have to get When Stars Collide and Rae of Sunshine! I’ve been seeing them everywhere.

I wish you and your Mr. Lex the best time in NYC. I hope you’ll have fun and vacation!
And ohh Freddy is such a cutie!! 🙂
How fun! I hope you guys have a fabulous time in NYC!
Yes… it always takes Himself and me a long light year to put furniture together, so these days we tend to buy things already done:). Have a great time in NYC – as it happens, Himself is also 50 this week, though he has to work through his birthday so we’ve postponed celebrations till later in the month. And congratulations on 26 years – a real achievement:)
Have a great time in NYC! Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to your hubbie. Looks like you may have managed to wear out Freddy finally. LOL
Enjoy your trip! I’m sure it’ll be wonderful. NYC is so fun!
OK, so based on cover love, i’m digging the top three books in the list of books you bought! Have a great week!
Have an amazing time in NYC, look forward to your pics!
You got some good looking books – especially Reisz’. 😉 But I’m checking out Smeltzer’s too. And it sounds like your week as a whole was pretty good. There’s nothing wrong with having a bit of a quiet week. I’m looking forward to one this week, where we don’t have something every single night. 🙂 Thanks for the Freddy pics. He’s so cute! I hope your week is spectacular! You and Mr. Lex enjoy your trip!! *BIG HUGS* <3
Ooh how fun that you’ll be in NYC. We’ll have switched continents. haha I’m in England right now until the end of the week. 🙂
Aww…Freddy. My dog loves laying in the sun too.
Exhume look great! Will have to check it out.
Enjoy all your books 🙂
