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 #201
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 Gallery Books, HQN Books, and Edelweiss!
Thank you 8th Circle Press, Gallery Books, Berkley, and NetGalley!
I think the book I’m the most excited about is Wings, because it’s set in the Orginal Sinners universe. I’ve already started reading So Over You, and am really enjoying it so far.
The Sunday Post #151 – 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.
Friday was spent in lots of meetings, so that all of us teachers are ready for school starting again on Monday. It was nice to see my colleagues again, and to know that I will actually start the school year for the first time ever. It will definitely be a busy year, but I am very optimistic about everything, and look forward to meeting at least some of my students on Monday.
This Week’s Freddy in Action:
And we are getting a new puppy who is now only two weeks old. I am going to go to pick him up in October, and we’re all really excited about it!

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!
Nooo summer can’t be over… even though I know it is. 🙁 And time for school already? Hope you have a great start to the school year! And a new puppy?? Ooh Freddy’s gonna have a pal. 🙂
The weather is still quite good here, so it’s not completely over yet. But I’m really looking forward to work on Monday.
Freddy is going to get a pal, and I really hope they’ll enjoy each other!
Just had the first football games of the school year with actual school starting in a week. Wow, this summer went by fast. Yay that you get to start from the beginning this time. And how adorable, a new puppy for you all. 🙂
Nice looking haul. I can see several to get excited about.
Have a good first week of school, Lexxie!
It’s funny what things we feel go together with the end of summer / beginning of fall, no?
I can’t wait for little Hercules to arrive in our family. He’s so cute, and I hope Freddy will be happy with the addition.
Thanks for stopping by, Sophia!

Yay, your new puppy is SO cute. ??
Ooh nice new reads! Some new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all!

Looks like a good haul! I’m very curious about Dark Swan; the cover keeps catching my eye.
Aww, new puppy! I hope you have a great school year!
The Room on Rue Amelie grabs me. I am a sucker for books set in France 😉 Happy reading.
Aww a new puppy. Hercules is adorable. Have a great school year. My boy started Kindergarten on Thursday this last week. It was an experience. He loved it. The house was quiet for mommy. ^_^
How exciting for you as the new school year begins. So different from previous experiences, as it is all yours.
A new pup! Will Freddy be happy? LOL.
Great haul! I am curious about By the Book. Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I always love your hauls! Great one this time as well! I wanna read Kristen Higgins’ book too! Happy reading all the books!

I hope you really enjoy these books! 🙂 A new puppy is very exciting!
Ohhh I’m jealous of your copy of So Over You by Kate Meader. lol! I loved the first one and can’t read to read the next one. I hope you end up loving all of your new books and have a great week!

I am hoping to get So Over You through Xoxperts. *fingers crossed* Awe, Freddy is getting a brother. How exciting. I hope you enjoy all of your new reads!
Aw a new puppy, how exciting! Hope Freddy loves his new little brother. You had some great looking new books this week. Roomies, By The Book and Now That You Mention It all look very promising. Have a good week.
The new puppy looks adorable – and he will be company for Freddy, now that you are at school for longer. Best of luck with the new term. I don’t resume my teaching duties for another couple of weeks – but I cannot believe just how fast the summer has slipped past. Have an enjoyable, if slightly frantic, first week back at school, Lexxie:). My Sunday Post – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/sunday-post-27th-august-2017/
How cute is little Hercules! I hope he and Freddy will enjoy each others company when he arrives!
Oh a new puppy!!! I can’t wait for more pictures once you get him. Have a great week and good luck with your new school year!

Wow, you got a lot of interesting and quite different stuff this week 🙂 I was going to ask which one you’re most excited for, but I can see you confessed yourself 😀 I haven’t heard of that one though!
Omigohsh your new pupper! Awwwww. I expect LOTS OF PHOTOS. What will Freddy think about it? 🙂
Awww, that pup!!! Can’t wait to see him grown up a bit! We’re hoping to add a pup to our family soon, too! <3
Have a great week! 🙂
Stacy Renee @ Lazy Day Literature
Looks like you’ve got some great new books.
Isn’t it crazy how fast this summer flew by? I hope you’ll have some great students and I bet you’ll do great! 😉
The puppy looks so cute!
Have a great week and happy reading.
It’s so good you were part of the planning this year! It throws you for a loop walking in mid-year. Hercules is so cute! Adding a new puppy to the family is so fun…except for the chewing!
How exciting to be starting at the start of a school year. Hope it all goes well x

Seen A Treacherous Curse on a lot of blogs today. 🙂 OMG that is such a cute puppy!!
Hercules is so cute! What breed is he? We’ve been talking about getting a puppy too but we are not sure when. Roomies is on my TBR and I need to start the Veronica Speedwell series soon. Good luck on your first day of school and I hope you have a great week!
Aaw, Hercules is so sweet. Freddy will now have a buddy. He better enjoy those quiet little naps while he can. LOL That cover for Black Swan is gorgeous! Good luck with school:)

OMG! A NEW PUPPY! I still love Freddy most, though. 😉 I got Roomies, too. It’ll be my 1st book by her.
