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 #190
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:
Thank you Harlequin MIRA, Gallery / Pocket Books and Netgalley!

Did you get some good books last week? What have you been up to this past week? Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend, and that next week will be filled with awesome!
Woohoo!!!!! The Master of English Language and Literature. What a high it must have been after you found out.
Nice pile of books. The Brenda Novak has my attention as does the Hildie McQueen since they are authors I’ve had my eye on for a while.
Freddy being mischievous up on the couch. 🙂
Have a good weekend, Lexxie! You’ll have to go out to dinner to celebrate your degree. 🙂
Definitely a high! It was pretty tough to get through, I was so nervous, but now, it’s done 🙂
Hildie McQueen is amazing, and Novak is one of my fave contemporary romance authors. There’s a bit of suspense as well in this series.
Thank you, Sophia Rose! I had some friends over for champagne last night… so today, I have a slight headache 😉
It’s a dogs life, and Freddie seems to know it! Congrats on your thesis, and your degree! Must be a great feeling. 🙂
Enjoy your weekend!!!
LOL he does know it 🙂 Thanks, Greg, it definitely is a great feeling. And now, I have time to read all the books!
Congratulations! All of your hard work has paid off! Hopefully you can have a nice relaxing booky summer now and gloat about your success!
Thank you ,Chuckles 🙂 I’m very happy, and will have time for more books.

Congratulations Lexxie!!!! You did it. What are your plans now? I’m looking forward to your review for As it Faded. I didn’t even know KA Tucker had a new book out. I am so out of the loop for some authors. Anyways, have a great week!
Thank you Karen! Next up is another two years of school to get a Master’s degree in education so I can teach full time 🙂
Until it Fades was really good, and I hope you’ll get your hands on it, because I think you’ll enjoy it, too.

Woohoo!! I knew you could do it! So glad that you got it all done and can relax for a bit. What is up next for you, now that you have your Masters? Are you wanting to do more teaching? I hope you have a great week. 🙂
Thanks, Melanie! It was a tough hour, but it’s over now 🙂 Next up is another Master’s… in education, so that I can teach full time 🙂
OMG!!! CONGRATS!! That’s so exciting!!! Cannot say CONGRATS enough! CONGRATS!!! 😀
Nice new reads too! They’re all new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Thank you, Jessica! I’m so very happy 🙂 I’ll definitely stop by and say hi tomorrow 🙂

Congrats my friend! you worked so hard for it! Wish we could celebrate together! I will have a glass of wine for you tonight (or 2 or 3) 😉
I wish I could be a dog just for a few days, the lounging and sleeping sounds awesome right about now! 🙂
Have a great week, Lexxie! Miss you! Happy Reading! ox
Thank you Michelle! I wish we could truly celebrate together, too. Having cross-Atlantic cheers is good, too, though 😉
Oh my, yes, to be a dog in a household that loves the dog to pieces must be the best life ever!
Miss you too 🙂
You always get some interesting books. I hope you love all of them.
Thanks Grace 🙂
Yay! Congrats with the Masters. You are in for a relaxing summer 🙂
I like the looks of Love in Transit. Enjoy.
Thank you! I think the summer is going to be way more relaxing than last year’s 😉
I enjoyed Love in Transit – read it as soon as I got it 🙂
Congratulations on your Master’s. Well done!! ^_^ My pup Saphira can relate to Freddy. She made me a little jealous all week with her lounging around in the sun on our porch. I wanted to be out relaxing while reading, but no that summer’s hear I watch our little man who’s 5.
Love your book haul. Hope you enjoy your new books. I picked up a few freebies: Unexpected Eden, Hell’s Belle, and Chaos Rises. I also was approved on NetGalley for Archangel’s Viper…. Eeeee ^_^
Have a fabulous week and happy reading.
Thanks Angela 🙂 I’m very happy it’s behind me now! I bet running around watching a five-year old means you need all your energy. My kids are in school until the end of June, and my youngest is 12, so it’s a bit differen now.
Ooooh… I had no idea Archangel’s Viper was up on NetGalley! I had to jump over there and request it before I finished answering your comment 😀
LOL… I saw it pop up in one of NetGalley emails they send out and I was all over it… ^_^ I totally get it. Hope you are approved.
Ya, my son has always had a lot of energy no mater what age he is and he has always been a 5 or 5:30am riser. Dear God!! I’ve never been a morning person, but my son is up like clock work. It makes for very long days & lots of caffeine (coffee or tea). I was never much of a coffee drinker until after I had my son. Then I need that pick me up to get going.
Have a great week!!
I was just accepted! *happy dances*
Congratulations on your Masters Lexxie!!! That’s so exciting 🙂
Thanks Michelle!
Congrats on your accomplishment! Nothing feels better than to have that degree finished…and behind you, adding to your feeling of relief and pride.
Enjoy your new week and your books…and Freddy looks a bit unsure of what he should do.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
You’re right! I’m very happy it’s over, even if I still need more in order to be able to teach full time 🙂

True, but sometimes, it’s impossible not to anyway, right?
Congratulations on you degree. That’s awesome! I am such a huge Crownover fan, and since this series is only one step away from Marked, I am all in. Enjoy all your new books.

Congratulations on your Master’s! I hope you have a fantastic week!
