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 #228
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, William Morrow Paperbacks, Penguin Publishing, and Edelweiss!
Thank you, Tantor Audio!
Last week, I read Pretty As a Peach (Sex and Sweet Tea #4), and I enjoyed it so much I promptly bought the first three books (the first was free on kindle!) and I have already read them all.
The Sunday Post #178 – 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.
The snow has melted. We even had a couple of sunny days this week! And it’s light out when I leave for work in the morning – which is something that really changes my energy levels throughout the day.
On Friday, my youngest daughter (she’s in middle school) had a ‘discovering work’ day, and stayed the whole day at work with her oldest brother. He works at the main hospital here, so since I brought my daughter, I went ahead and donated blood for the first time in a while.

I love it when the sun peeps out after days of clouds. Our time change hits this Sunday and it will be nice going to work in the light and coming home in the light with a few hours of it.
Very nice haul. I got Burned Bright, too. And, I think I might have the freebie from your series. Good to know you liked book four.
Fun for your daughter to visit your son’s work. And look at you, giving blood. 🙂
Handsome pups this week!

I managed to review Jana Aston’s Cafe series after winning it ages ago!
and thank you for giving blood XD because it’s a great deed .
I’m happy we have sunshine at last! Thank you for sharing your love for the Sex and Sweet Tea series, I downloaded the first book too. Have a nice weekend!!
My STS post
I like your Jill Shalvis and Juliette Poe books, they look good!! Have a great week!!
Thanks Joann 🙂
Serious cover crushing going on over here… If you Leave Me and the Juliet Poe series… gorgeous!
I know! I especially love the cover of Restore Me… That series is also so very good 🙂
Seeing the sun is a good thing!
I am ogling your ARCs, especially Rainy Day Friends.
Have a great week, and thanks for sharing. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Yeah, if I go too long without seeing the sun, my energy levels get so low. It’s nice to feel like being outside, too.
Hi there, Lexxie!
I got Rainy Day Friends as well, plus the novella that’s coming out before it. I’m so looking forward to those!
I’m so happy that you loved Juliette Poe/Sawyer Bennett. She writes some great stories! I have yet to read this series but I have the first one – I hope at some point I’ll get around reading them.
Nice haul this week!
Oh and yes! The weather is finally getting better, thank God!
Oh and I am really looking forward to your review for Memphis. I loved it so much.
I’ve read both Rainy Day Friends and the novella now, too, Astrid. I’m so behind on comments it’s not even funny.
Juliette Poe / Sawyer Bennett is awesome, and this series is so much fun! It’s pretty light-hearted, but still there is substance.

Great haul! 🙂 Hope you enjoy them. Freddy and Hercules are looking good. 🙂
I think Freddy and Hercules always look good 😉
Love seeing your pups each week. You got some nice books in your book haul and read some great ones too this week. Hope you enjoy the new editions. Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
I’m glad my puppies make you happy 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Angela 🙂
Ahh !! omg thank you for the features, again !! ?
Yay for donating blood, I haven’t yet .. mostly as I wasn’t the weight needed for my height, but now that I do, I need to wait a few months as I went and got a new piercing, bummer.
awww ain’t Hercules’ picture just the cutest ? Lucky you got some sun .. we got more snow ?15/20cms yesterday, a few cms today, and apparently ANOTHEr snow storm on tuesday. isn’t supposed to be spring, yet? x) it’s cute early december, but let me tell you it gets boring quickly. Atleast it hasn’t been very cold along with our snowing.. so that’s alright ..
Yeah, piercings and tattoos make use have to wait to donate blood. Plus, sometimes, because of where I travel, I have to wait six months as well. Which means I really have to go when I know everything is OK 🙂
Restore Me and Burn Bright both look awesome. I’ve seen a few good reviews for Burn bright already. And yay for snow melting! Ours has partly melted and I’m waiting for the rest to take a hike. 🙂
Hercules and Freddy look good as always! Have a super weekend.
I like the covers of the Juliette Poe books, they really stand out. I’m glad the sun has come out too, I wasn’t enjoying the snow very much.
Oh wow lots of goodies happening here. Love it when you read something and love it then have to go buy more haha! All the time. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Shatter Me book I’m curious to see where it will go!
I have Tin Man sitting on my TBR shelf. I hope we both like it! The snow is mostly melted here, too, which makes life easier. I hope you have a great week!

It was a sunny day here today, but it’s only been 4 days since we had a covering snowfall. Supposedly more coming Monday. Our February was so nice and March has been what February usually is! Freddy’s picture didn’t show up for me, but Hercules is looking good! Enjoy your book haul and hope you have a good week!
We had the tiniest bit of sun this week, and I’m thrilled about it. So tired of the bleak wintery sky. Happy to see some light.

The Sex and Sweet Tea novels look very cute and I love the covers.
Those puppies are super adorable! I just love them!
We changed our clocks and as much as I like the brighter morning, I am not a fan of it being light outside when it’s 8. Makes the kids think it’s still early. 🙂
Have a great week, Lexxie! Miss you! and Happy Reading! ox

Eep. I am waiting for my Gaslight Audio ARC. I hope I get it Monday! We woke to a sprinkling of snow. Our week ahead is a mix of weather. Hope yours is a good one my friend!
The sun was in and out Saturday so I did some yard work and a little bit of touch up painting on my front porch. It’s saying rain later today so I’m heading out to do some weeding now. Those Poe books have such lovely covers. Hard to resist them. LOL Hercules really does look like he’s smiling. And Freddy looks so serious. LOL
Adorable puppers :-))
Really beautiful book covers this week!
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
We’ve had a pretty moderate week with weather. The Sex and Sweet Tea series looks so good! I’ll have to check it out.
Twitter: avalinahsbooks
You bought some really nice and summery looking books 🙂 unfortunately, the winter is still going strong here. We still have snow… gah. I miss sunlight! Yeah, it definitely does wonders for the energy levels… there have been a few sunny days, so at least if you look away from the window, you can pretend the snow is not there 😀
I’m so ready for winter to be completely over it’s not even funny, Evelina!
Lots of lovely books. I hope you have a good week in reading. I just got back in my home after a week of no power so I am behind in things. Have a good week. =)
Mary #SundayRoundup #9
Oh wow! That sounds very difficult, Mary! I’m glad you have power now, and I hope this past week was great.
Ah, I can’t wait to read Memphis! I love Ginger Scott’s books.
Hope you have a great week!
I love Ginger Scott’s books too! I love that her characters aren’t always as ‘perfect’ as many characters in YA and NA seem to be 🙂
Oooh, sunny weather! I want some… Enjoy all those new books you got this week, and there are so many amazing ones too. Happy Sunday!
Yeah, it was nice to see the sun while it lasted, Jenea 😀
Yay for better weather! We just had the time change here, so it WAS starting to get light out when I went to work, but now it will be dark again for another 5-6 weeks. Blah.
So, you seem to really love JA Huss. I haven’t read any of her books. Where is a good place to start?!?
LOL, I absolutely love JA Huss! Her gritty NA series Rook and Ronin is where I started, and then I read every book as she released them. I have gone back to start her very first series, Junco, which is science fiction, and very good too.
That cover for If You Leave Me is gorgeous! Can’t wait to hear what it’s about and how you like it 🙂 Have a great week!
I know! And I’m not someone who always notices covers, but this one is beautiful.
The time changed here so we should start getting lighter evenings, which I’m excited about it. When it gets dark early, I just get tired quicker. Yay for all the fun books you got this week! And your dogs are too handsome, as usual.
We’re changing the time to summer time next weekend. I do enjoy the lighter evenings, because like you, I get tired when it gets dark… However, it’s been so nice to leave the house with the sun already up. I’m going to miss that!
Looking forward to the new Jill Shalvis book. We were treated to a couple of days of sun, but more snow it on the way. Have a great week.
Jill Shalvis is such a great writer, and this series is different from her more lighthearted romances – which is a nice change every now and then.
The sun is finally back here too and the snow is completely gone. Your dog’s smile is so funny and warm – Freddy looks good too. Enjoy your new books!
Hercules and Freddy are the best dogs, Andreea. They are so cuddly and playful – and they love to sleep close up against one of us during their daytime naps 🙂
Our snow is almost all melted as well although it’s the snow that’s been around for quite awhile since we haven’t had *any* lately. 🙁 I’m glad you had such a good week and I hope this week is going well, too, even if you’re busy grading tests that make you feel like your students need their hearing checked. ;)I’m envious you got Gaslight and Restore Me AND Memphis. 😉 I hope they’re all fantastic!
*smooches* & {{{big hugs}}}
We’re actually supposed to get snow again on Monday. I have no idea what is wrong with the weather… I am so ready for warmer weather!
I have already read Gaslight… but I can’t wait to listen to it, as well. And Restore Me killed me, wifey! I needed someone to hold me afterwards.
*smooches* right back at you!
