Weekend Wrap-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 and Caffeinated Reviewer.
STS #180
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to my library – virtual or actual, with books that are bought, borrowed, won or ARCs I will (probably) be reading soon. Without further ado, here’s what I added to my bloated shelves this past week:
I have added more books to my RARE collection to get signed by favorite authors very soon:
What can I say? I’m a true Hussie, and can’t wait to get these signed. I have most of her books signed already, but not the Junco series, and I didn’t have Losing Francesca. Plus, I wanted that cover for Tragic, I love it!!
The Sunday Post #120 – 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.
I met with my thesis supervisor on Monday, and after some changes to my writing, she was quite happy on Tuesday afternoon 🙂 I need to continue now, as my muse is definitely present.
It was my birthday on Tuesday, and my family spoiled me very nicely! First of all, my oldest went to get fresh croissants and pain au chocolat for breakfast, a quick bike ride and she was in France to get the very best 🙂 I also got flowers, some very nice cards, and presents.
On Wednesday, I finished teaching at 10 am, but was unable to leave due to a fire alarm going off. Of course, we had to vacate the building, and stay on the parking lot, and then wait for the firemen to arrive. They don’t really know why the alarm went off, as the firemen didn’t find anything wrong… but it brought us a bit of excitement.

I hope your weekend was great, too, Stormi!
I don’t know where you find the time to get everything done! Happy birthday! I hope Freddy got you something nice! Looking at the beer is getting my mouth watering…I haven’t had a beer since Obama’s election in 2008! I always enjoyed European beer especially as a student…
I think there are days where I just don’t get enough sleep, Chuckles… And then, afterwards, I pay for that 😀
Oh my, I would never be able to give up on beer! I can give up on a lot of things, but please let me have my beer!
Ooh nice new reads! All totally new to me ones so I hope you enjoy them all!
And that’s great about your thesis! And Happy Belated Birthday!! So sweet of your oldest to bike ride to get your favorite breakfast! So sweet! Hope you had a most excellent Bday!
Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!

Happy late birthday! That pain au chocolat makes me die of jealousy! Great haul this week.
Happy birthday! That food looks so good . . .
Lovely week for you. You are going to have a lot of books to get signed. I hope you enjoy. Looks like Freddy is being lovable.
My kids totally biked to France to get me some pastries for my birthday too. They’re not back yet, but it should be anytime now … LOL! Glad you had a great day!
Happy belated birthday! What are you, 25 now? 😉 Those croissants look really tasty.
That’s a lot of Huss books! So cool that you’re going to get them signed soon.
Have a fantastic weekend, Lexxie! =)

Congrats on your successful meeting with your thesis adviser. I remember going through that and all the time spent in front of the computer trying to make it perfect.
Happy belated birthday 🙂 Have a great week of reading!
Happy Birthday, Lexxie! What an amazing breakfast! I hope you enjoy all of your new books this week. Freddy is adorable as always. I am glad to hear that you are making some great progress on your thesis. Have a great week!
Happy belated birthday! My oldest daughter turned 10 on Wednesday so it seems to be the week of birthdays. Those croissants and other breakfast treats look delicious! Yum.
Happy birthday! I love fresh croissants and could eat them all day lol. Hope you had a fabulous birthday celebration- sounds like you did!
Glad your thesis is going well also. 🙂
That’s so sweet for your daughter – and Happy Belated Birthday! Glad to hear your family took care of you. 🙂

I can’t believe I didn’t know it was your birthday on Tuesday would’ve wished on Instagram or something. But belated Happy Birthday!! It looks like a fun party! Love croissants. Nice haul! And love your Freddy in action post! He looks so adorable!
Here’s My STS
Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a fun time. 🙂 I am glad the fire alarm going off turned out to be nothing. That’s usually the case, it feels like–although it’s worth it as I’d rather a false alarm than a real one. Yay for a successful meeting with your advisor!
Freddy, as always, is adorable. <3 Thank you for sharing your photos of him with us.
I hope you have a wonderful week, Lexxie!

I am happy you had a good birthday! Your daughter rode her bike to France to get food for breakfast? That’s super close. Does she have to take her passport? You are in the perfect spot to go to some amazing places! So jealous ? As always I enjoy the Freddy pictures 🙂 hope you have a good week and good luck with your thesis!
Happy belated birthday! Wow, that breakfast looks delicious!
Ugh, fire alarms. I don’t know if there’s ever been a single time in my entire life that a fire alarm went off for a legitimate reason lol. Glad to hear there was no problems though!
Happy Birthday! Glad that you enjoyed your birthday!
Lexxi, we have the same birthday! Well, happy late birthday! It looks like you had a wonderful birthday with your family, and I’m glad that you got to add to your bookish collection. Have a good week, and happy reading! 🙂
Aw happy little late birthday! What an awesome way to have started the day 🙂
Happy belated birthday! The breakfast looks delicious! Your book collection looks good. Have a great week ahead 🙂
Happy birthday! What a great breakfast!
I’m glad you had an awesome birthday! Enjoy your books!
Glad you had a lovely birthday – and that is the mark of a loving daughter, travelling to a different country to get the best for her Mum! Some adorable pics of Freddy this week. Glad your tutorial went well and you are on track for the dissertation (or is it thesis?). Have a lovely week, Lexxie:).
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday. Is it Mother’s Day for you today? I am loving your haul ..you Hussie. Bwahaha!
Happy birthday! That breakfast spread has my mouth watering! Sounds like a special day. Freddy has gotten so big but is still so cute! The fire alarm sounds like a bit of craziness. That kind of upheaval just messes with my whole day. Have a great week!
Good luck with your thesis writing! Sounds like you’re on a roll. What a stellar birthday breakfast! Your family celebrates in style! Happy birthday, Lexxie!
Aw, what a nice birthday. And just a bike ride to France for croissants …. sigh. Glad to hear the thesis is coming along so well! Keep it goin! 🙂

Sorry about having to deal with that fire alarm. Glad there was nothing actually wrong. Sounds like you had a lovely birthday. Glad the thesis is going well. Have a great week. 🙂
First things first – Happy Birthday! I love the pics of your special day, and you deserved some “ME” time! Kudos on how well things are going with the thesis. Kudos on your diligence on collecting your fave books and to ensure you get them all signed. Totally fab! Hope your week is wonderful!
Happy Belated Birthday. Freddy is so adorable. I loved Tragic, and the rest of the Rook and Ronin series. Eighteen is also one of my favorites, I’m going to add more JA Huss to my TBR shelf. Have a wonderful week and happy reading ~
It sounds as though you had a nice birthday week, wifey. I’ve enjoyed teasing you about all your book buying but I can’t blame you for being a Hussie…I believe I had a little something to do with that. 😉 I’ve always wanted to try pain au chocolat. *sigh* That was so very nice of #1 to deliver that along with croissants for breakfast. You were spoiled indeed! I hope your muse is still feeding your thesis!
Love you, darling! {{{BIG HUGGS}}}
oh yay on birthday week!!! It was also my birthday week as well and glad you got treated to a wonderful day!! Love all those beautiful reads…hope you enjoy.
