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, Reading Reality, and Caffeinated Reviewer.
STS #195
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality 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, Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley!
Thank you, Simon & Schuster and NetGalley!
I read all of the above books this week, I became slightly obsessed with R.K. Lilley’s world – and Tristan & Danika’s series was awesome – more so than Up in the Air in my opinion.
The Sunday Post #145 – 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 have spent a very nice, lazy week in the sun, by the sea, reading books, hanging out with my family and just enjoying life. Quite a few new books added to my shelf, and loads read! Plus, I have completed 30 books for the Summer COYER Challenge so far. I also got our internet up and working again – thanks to a very nice lady in a store that had nothing to do with internet service – she actually used her own phone to call the company to clear things up for me – and she stayed on the phone for 45 minutes!!

Because my internet connection only came back up on Friday, I haven’t been able to visit anyone this past week. I really hope that will be different next week!
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!
Wow you’re humming along on COYER! And yay for a week in the sun- sounds nice! It’s been nice here too- now I just need the sea to go along with it lol.
Freddy looks like he’s chilled. 🙂
I know! It’s amazing how much time I have for reading now that I don’t have that pesky Master’s thesis to write 😀
Freddy is definitely chilled, he loves it here.
Freddy looks so cute in those photos especially the one by the sea. I could do with a few days by the sea as I’m getting sick of housework!
Freddy loves the sea! He’d love it even more if he could swim in it all the time, though 🙂 I hope you’ll get some time off in a place where you can relax, Chuckles!
Wow! That lady was super nice!! I hate when there’s issues with the internet! Since I basically live on my computer half the time when I’m not reading! LOL! Glad your vacation was nice too! Freddy of course is adorable!
Nice new reads! All totally new to me ones! Hope you enjoy each and every one of them!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I know, right! She was so nice, and it is even nicer to actually have an internet connection again 🙂
Have a great week, Jessica.

Jealous of your week away and all the awesome books you read. Freddy is a handsome little dude!
Have a great week, Lexxie! Happy Reading! ox
Freddy IS a handsome little dude. And he gives the best dog-cuddles 🙂
I had problems with my blog this week that had my brother helping me for over two hours! I think I can fix most of it now on my own, but it is frustrating to have to ask for help. Yay for humanity! That was really nice of the lady in the store to help you. Have a wonderful week.
I don’t really have anyone to ask for help, so it’s good that I’m usually able to manage on my own. I am glad your brother was able to help you last week 🙂
That picture of Freddy looking in the mirror is too cute! ^_^ ♥
🙂 I thought so too!

OMG R.K. Lilley!!!!!!!! Her books are epic!! I think Tristan and Danika were the most epic of all.:D I miss her writing so much!!
Tristan and Danika were totally epic. I hope she’ll write more, and soon!
happy reading my friend and have a nice weekend !
Thanks, Melliane 🙂 You, too!
Looks like you got lots of goodies this week. I’m not familiar but I hope you enjoy them all!
Thanks, Eve 🙂 A lot of these, I got because I couldn’t stop reading the series 🙂
Sounds like you had a wonderfully relaxing week, and what a nice lady! I’m excited for The Rules of Magic. I loved Practical Magic. Happy reading!
I’m excited for The Rules of Magic, too. I just need to find Practical Magic on my kindle so I can refresh my memory 😉
Books by the sea and read in the sun sounds lovely…not jealous at all ?
It is lovely, Emma 🙂
How great to find such a helpful person!
Freddy looking in the mirror reminds me of how excited the babies in my life were upon first glimpse of their reflections.
I also got a copy of The Rules of Magic. Enjoy!
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I know! That was so lucky 🙂
Freddy doesn’t seem to really see himself in the mirror, so he is a bit confused… but that pic is still cute.
Freddy looks so cute!!!
Thanks, Kyra 🙂
Looks like a good haul! I should read some Alice Hoffman sometime. Hope you enjoy!
My STS.
I look forward to the books I haven’t read already, Nikki 🙂
Looks like a great haul. I got The Border through Netgalley too!

Great haul and wow, you got a lot of reading done on that vacation isn’t that always nice. 🙂 Your doing great with COYER as well!
I know, it’s so nice to finally be back in my reading groove 🙂 Who knows what the fall will bring, so I better just keep reading and stocking up on good stories while I can.
Glad to hear that you had a wonderful time, Lexxie. It seems that Freddy did too. He’s so cute! ?
I enjoyed Tristan and Danika’s and that series has been on my TBR list like forever. I hope you enjoy them, Lexxie. ?
Have a wonderful week and happy reading. ?
Freddy loves being by the sea 🙂 And he gets more time with his humans too when we’re on vacation 😀
I already read the Tristan & Danika series, I became slightly obsessed with them, actually 😀
Glad you were able to get your internet issues worked out. The lady that helped you definitely went above and beyond. It sounds like you are having a great time. I hope you enjoy all of your new books and have a great week!
Me, too! Yes, I didn’t even really go in her shop to buy anything… I did end up buying stuff, though, and later went back to give them a bottle of wine from my home village 😀
Awww….It was nice of the lady to help our with your internet connection!
Here’s my Sunday Post!
I know! It made me all mushy 🙂
Looks like Freddie is lovin life. 🙂
sherry @ fundinmental Sunday Memes
Freddy is definitely lovin life these days, Sherry 😀
Oh gosh that was very nice of the woman to help you out like that with the internet! And you are doing awesome on COYER. Me….not so much. It seems that is always my struggle with COYER. Hopefully August will be better since I don’t have as many arcs.
I know 🙂 I was so lucky!
For once I’m doing great with COYER, because the past three ones, not so much 🙂

You got The Rules of Magic too! I was so happy when I received that email. You excited? Have you read Practical magic? I got that one to read before I read the prequel.
I did 🙂 And I think I read Practical Magic a while back… I’m so bad – I need to double check 😀

Wow! You’re kicking COYER Butt! Clearly I need to pick up some R.K. Lilley, seeing as you devoured that this week 🙂 Sounds like you’re having a great rest at the beach and Freddy seems to be enjoying himself too. Have a great week Lexxie! Miss you {{HUGS}}
I am totally kicking COYER butt this time around, Berls 🙂 I’m in the groove.
Miss you too, Berls <3 {{{HUGS}}}
Awe, Freddy is adorable!!!! I’m glad you got your internet fixed. My kids go crazy if ours is down even for a few minutes. lol… Have a great week.
I’m glad, too. And frankly, I don’t know who hated being without internet the most… me or the kids 😉
I’m happy to hear you’re vacation so much Lexxie! Awesome that you’ve got so much reading done! I hope to catch up on some reading this week!
Have a great week and happy reading!
It’s so nice to be on vacation after the six months of work and thesis-writing! I hope you’ll be able to catch up on some reading, too 🙂
Oh, I hate when the internet is out. I’m glad all is well now. That Freddy by the sea photo is adorable. It sounds like you had a really nice week – I’m glad!

I’m glad we’re back online, too… it made me sad to not be able to chat with my fellow bloggers.
Wow, you are doing great on COYER. I still haven’t read any of R.K. Lilley’s books but I do have some of them. I’ll need to read them now lol. Freddy is so adorable looking at himself lol. I hope you continue to have a great vacation. Have a great week!
You should definitely read Lilley’s books, they are quite addictive 😉
It sounds like you had a fab week at the beach. And way to go on COYER! I can just hear Freddy, “Who’s that handsome fella.” LOL
My Sunday Post
LOL that’s funny about you hearing Freddy, Laura 😀
What a beautiful week! Freddy looks like he’s having a grand time. YAY for that woman helping you out. How kind! I’m going to *try* to kick up my reading a bit and finish a good number before school starts. I hope you have another great week!
I know that once school starts again, I will have a lot less time to read, so it’s nice that I can just cruise through books now 🙂

😀 I bet a lot of us will be reading those two back to back.
I read it a long time ago, so I might need a little refresher 😀

Sounds like you had a good week despite internet issues. That was so nice that the lady stayed on the phone so long to help you out. I had a great weekend in Portland, OR. It was my first trip to that state and I had a great time. I hope you have a great week.
The Border is a new book we both have in common as well! I’m curious about what I’ll think when I read it, and you too. That sounds like a brilliant week. What better way to start off the holiday?
I didn’t realize you were missing Internet, but that lady who helped you sounds so nice! That picture of Freddie looking in the mirror is too cute <3
