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 #187
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 got accepted for some ARCs I had requested a while back, downloaded some e-books I got at RT, and I also received two e-mail invitations I wasn’t able to resist…
Thank you to RT, Harlequin, Avon, Atria, Loveswept, NetGalley and Edelweis!
Thank you Tantor Media!
The Sunday Post #137 – 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.
It’s been a very busy week, with creating the time table for my two second-year classes’ oral exams in June, making copies of the year-end exams for my first-year classes, creating new tests for those who were sick on the day of the original test and trying to do the final touch-ups on my thesis. I also have not been feeling well, and just want to stay in bed to read and sleep 🙁 Hopefully, I’ll hurry up and feel better.

Definitely sounds like a busy week! Hope things calm down for you soon! Nice new reads too! They’re all new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all!
My STS will up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Yeah, I’m very ready for some down time, Jessica 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, you’ve been busy. I hope you get a chance to read all your new books!
I sure hope so, too, AJ!
Sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well. Hopefully a few Freddy cuddles will help. Have a good weekend!
Freddy cuddles make everything better!
Hope you feel better. Enjoy those books you picked up. I liked Laura Kaye’s Ride Hard. Happy Reading!!
Thanks Angela 🙂 I’m looking forward to Ride Hard! A good motorcycle romance always hits the right spot.
Freddy looks he is having a great time. Sometimes we can’t resist certain book invites. Great haul of books this week.
Grace @ Books of Love
He always has a good time! It’s so great to spend time with him, because it’s impossible to not be happy when I’m around him 🙂
I can’t wait to hear what you think of Why Do Dukes Fall in Love and How the Duke Was Won. And hope you feel better!
Hope you feel better, Lexxie. You did have a busy week.
Oh man, that is quite the stack. I think I have a few Megan Frampton and Laura Kaye’s that I got in a contest that I still need to read. Yes, wishing you some time off to enjoy your books soon. 🙂
Have a good week coming!
It’s been a weird week here weather- wise. We got really warm (80’s) and then it cooled right off. Make up your mind nature. 🙂 And yeah sounds like you had a busy one! Hope you have a nice quiet weekend and feel better too! Freddie definitely looks like he’s enjoying himself.
The Lying Game I TOTALLY want lol.
The weather here is all over the place. I think that and the stress is why I’m not feeling too well…
Thanks for stopping by, Greg!
I hope you feel better soon! You have so much to do for school. We have hit the part of the year when testing is over and we only have 1 week left of classes, so the kids are just crazy! They have lots of projects due this week though, so hopefully I can keep them focused for 1 final week!
We have two more weeks left of classes, then the exams start… Oh well, kids are fairly crazy here, too. They can’t wait for the holiday to start. Good luck keeping your students focused for the last week.

Great haul and wow your busy. I hope you feel better soon!
Safe travels, Stormi 🙂
Looks like you had a great ARC week! But oh no, feel better <3
I did have a good ARC week… now, I need TIME! Thanks, Kristen.
I’ve had Ride Hard but haven’t read it. Thanks for reminding me of that book. My kindle is FULL of books, I lost track of some books I’m planning on reading soon. OMG, Freddy is SO cute. He needs to meet my Momo. They’ll be good friends. Both love playing.
Enjoy your books and have a wonderful week. ?
I hope we’ll both enjoy Ride Hard, Geybie 🙂 My kindle is also really full of books I haven’t read yet. I try to be better with freebies and cheap books, but it’s so hard.
Momo and Freddy should definitely meet. I’m sure both they and we would have fun 🙂

Sounds like a busy and stressful week. Sending you positive and production vibes for this week to get everything done. You got some great #books this week am going to have to check them out. Have a fantastic week.
Thanks for the positive and productive vibes, Megan! I got some fantastic books this week, and I just want to skip everything else and read them all 🙂
Hope you are feeling better. Nothing like having lots to do and not feeling like doing it. The new Ruth Ware looks good. Hope it stacks up to her other books!
I’m still a little under the weather, but better than the other day 🙂 Ruth Ware’s stories are always creeping me out! I can’t wait to start this one 🙂

My allergies all week have been kicking my butt! I hope you feel better! Stress can run you down, get some rest don’t over do it, you will be on the beach in Spain before you know it.
Enjoy all those gorgeous covers!
Have a wonderful week, Lexxie! I miss you! <3 Happy Reading! ox
Huh… I didn’t even think of allergies – they may be part of the problem. But I think it’s a bit stress-related, too. I do need to look at the end of the school year and just hope I’ll get everything done the way I want to 🙂 Love you and miss you, too, Michelle!
Oh wow, so glad you liked And I Darken, I loved it, can’t wait for Now I Rise. Have a great week!
It was SO good, Kei! And I loved Now I Rise even more. I’m all sad I have to wait a full year for the next book!
Wow you had a busy week! I hope that this week ahead is calmer and that you feel better. Your books look good, happy reading!
I hope so, too, Cindy. We have Thursday off next week, but I really need to finish those final touches on my thesis. Thanks for stopping by.
Ohh, Ruth Ware has a new book! I’m looking forward to that. Hope you feel better soon, having no energy is horrible.
I know! I’m excited about Ware’s newest book, too, Trish 🙂 Thank you! I hope my energy levels will soar so I can get everything done.

Freddy is so cute, as always 🙂 sounds like you’ve been busy as well. I’ve actually had a good reading week, finished so many old ARCs! Makes me glad.
Have a good week 🙂
Freddy is the best! He makes my days good even when I’m tired and lack energy 🙂
Good for you finishing those old ARCs!
Great books this week! I have Something Like Happy and I’m excited about it. The historical romances look good too. I went awhile without reading them but have gotten back into the genre lately and can’t get enough! I hope you’re feeling better and getting plenty of rest! Love the Freddy pictures! What a cutie. Have a great week!
I’m excited about Something Like Happy, too. It really intrigues me. I have just started picking up historical romances again after a long break. Thanks, Katherine 🙂
You have the CUTEST freaking dog, ever. Like. Ever. Good luck with your exams, and hope you have a great week and start feeling better!
Thank you, Danie! I agree, of course 🙂 He’s the best dog! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Awww…I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Ronyell!
I hope you feel better soon! Sounds like you’re busy getting organized. 🙂
Thanks, Nicole. Organizing and getting things done is exhausting!
Get well soon! Nothing better than laying in bed and reading when you are not well.

I am excited about the Lying Game but holding out for a review audio copy. Such a nice haul this week. So sorry you are under the weather and can sympathize. I have bronchitis again. *hangs head*
Hope you are feeling better. Freddie is such a cutie!
