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 #165 – Bought Borrowed & Bagged #115
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, and once more, there are SO many books :
Thank you, Harlequin HQN, Kensington Books, Season Publishing and NetGalley!
(All of these books were requested before COYER started, so they will even count towards that challenge!!)
Thank you, Helena Newbury!
Thank you, Carina Press!!
The Scent of Winter was a freebie, and I am elated to spend some time with King and Søren ♡
My COYER Secret Santa gave to me :
Thank you so much, Secret Santa! I can’t wait to start reading these 🙂 xoxo
My blogger-wife, Brandee is generous, too! Here’s what she’s sent me:
The Sunday Post #115 – Weekend Wrap-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.
Still battled my cold. Was very uninspired when it came to writing my thesis… I did send a pretty long e-mail explaining in detail what I want to say, and how to use the articles and other literature I have used for my research in order to do so. And I think that should be enough for now, and maybe the thesis-muse will come to me over the holidays… Hopefully, my prof will agree with me that it’s passable. I used to aim for perfect grades, but not anymore *sighs* I just want this to be over with!
It’s been a pretty busy week, with some last-minute calls for teaching, some visits with friends – one was even for a long walk with Freddy and my friend’s 4-month-old puppy. It was really nice to see the dogs together, so very cute.

Cait @ Paper Fury discusses Bookworm Logic
Did you get some good books last week? What have you been up to this past week? Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend, and that next week will be filled with awesome!
You got some good ones in your book haul this week. I got accepted for Justice Ascending, too.
Very cute pups in the park pictures. 🙂
Hopefully the cold goes away soon and hopefully you get your writing mojo going for your thesis. Have a Merry Christmas, Lexxie!
WooHoo Sophia! I’m very excited about Justice Ascending. The series is so very well done 🙂 Merry Christmas!!

I want to read Nowhere but Here and some of the other ones look good to me too. Sorry you have a cold, hope it’s gone by Christmas, no fun being sick during the holidays. Do you have another dog besides Freddy?
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends Lexxie!
It seems I’ll celebrate Christmas while still having a cold… it’s OK, we’re all together, and we have some really good food and drinks to share and new memories to be made 🙂
Love that Eternity Cure cover. 🙂 I would think at holiday time it would be hard to concentrate on thesis writing. At least I know I would lol. Hopefully you feel better and hope your holidays are fabulous! The dogs look cute. 🙂
That cover is gorgeous! It needs a special place on a bookshelf, that’s for sure 🙂 Yeah, we’ll pretend it’s only because of the holidays I can’t concentrate on thesis writing, Greg 😀
Great haul for the winter 🙂 The Tiffany Reisz title The Scent of Winter looks very intriguing. Need to look around where it is available….
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
In case you wanna look: this is my STS
Best wishes
Vi
I think The Scent of Winter is on TReisz’s website, Vi 🙂 And it’s in different formats, too 🙂
The Dogs look like they are up to something. You got some great books. I see quite a few that look great.
Grace @ Books of Love
LOL they were definitely up to something, Grace 🙂 they were so cute!
How cute is that puppy!!! Ooh I love a cute puppy! I hope that Santa Paws is good to Freddy this year and that you all have a good Christmas. The Rebecca Zanetti series sounds interesting…I might need to check that out…
The three of them together were golden, Chuckles 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of Nowhere But Here by Renee Carlino! 😀
Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to read, it, Stephanie! I love Renee Carlino 🙂
OOoh very nice!! Liking the COYER books! I still need to finish Jennifer Estep’s series there too! And read A Promise of Fire!! So exciting! Sorry to hear about your cold and thesis troubles! Hopefully some holiday fun will cheer you up and banish that cold away! As always Freddy is adorable!! Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Yes, my secret Santa did very well, Jessica 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Sorry to hear your thesis work is at a halt. I am sure the longer you mull it over, it will start to piece together as you wish. I am also still fighting off the ick. :/ I hope you feel better.
I hope you’re right, Charlie 🙂 And I hope you’ve won the fight against the ick!!
Aw, those dogs are so cute! I hope you feel better soon, and happy holidays!
Thanks AJ 🙂
Aws on the pups! So cute! And whoa that is a nice haul this week! Lots of good looking reads 😀 Hope you’re feeling better soon! And Merry Christmas!
They’re SO cute, right? Thanks for stopping by, Anna!
The dogs look like they are trying to decide if they should like each other.
Good luck with your thesis…I can relate to wanting it to be over! I was finishing mine as I was also leaving my second husband, so that was challenging…LOL.
I’m curious about Julie Kagawa’s books, which I’ve been seeing everywhere. Enjoy all of your books, and the holidays ahead.
Yeah, I think they were still getting used to each other there, Laurel-Rain 🙂 I wish my thesis was all over, and I can’t even begin to imagine what it was like doing that and getting your life back on track at the same time!
I’m so sorry to hear about your cold. That’s the pits when you still have a ton of stuff to do, and hope you feel better soon. Isn’t it great to get books as gifts? Friends clearly know your passion. Lori Foster – yes!!!! Hugs…RO
At least we have some quiet days now, Ro, and it’s nice to not feel stressed for a little while 🙂
Great haul! I’ve been wanting to check out The Eternity Cure for a while. I’ve definitely had it on my shelf since it first came out because I LOVED The Immortal Rules. Happy reading and I hope you have a lovely holiday!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I have already read the Eternity Cure and you should definitely pick it up, Krystianna! It’s just as good as Immortal Rules 😉
Aww Freddy has friends! They’re all so adorable together! Good luck with finding your thesis muse, and have a happy holiday 🙂
I agree, Kristen, it was fun to see them get to know each other 😀
Merry Christmas Lexxie! Hope the thesis-muse visits you soon! 🙂 ~Aleen
Thank you Aleen 🙂
Sorry your cold is still hanging on! Mine seems to be getting worse! Hopefully the thesis fairy visits with some wonderful inspiration! Merry Christmas!
I hope you’re feeling better, Samantha! I’m still tired and have my cold…
Sorry to hear about your cold. I hope you get better soon! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Ronyell!

I hope you are feeling better this week, and find some motivation to finish up your thesis. I can’t imagine how you get everything done with work, school, and reading/blogging. You are so inspiring. Freddy and his friends are adorable. Thanks for sharing the picture of them. Have a great week!
Thanks, Karen 🙂 Still tired, but I hope I’ll get my mojo back this week. *hugs*

Merry Christmas. I hope you start to feel better. I know you want to get that thesis done. You got some great books. Enjoy.
Great haul this week, wifey! And I love how some of them are COYER acceptable. 😉 I hope you enjoy all your reads AND that you’re over your cold entirely and your thesis muse returns. 🙂
Happy week of reading and relaxing! **LOVE & BIG HUGS**
