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 #210
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:
Only one book this past week, and I loved this final instalment in J.A. Huss’ Mister series. It was so nice to see them all again!
The Sunday Post #160 – 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.
We spent a fantastic week in the north of Spain, the weather was good, and I even got a slight tan. The water was pretty cold, though, so I only went in the first day. We went to some of our favorite restaurant for the full vacation experience, and Mr. Lex was very happy to go cycling on the coast.
Both Freddy and Hercules absolutely loved the beach, Freddy went swimming every day, but Hercules was a bit hesitant.
This Week’s Puppies in Action:
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!

oh I was approached by a steampunk author about a US Marshall who was brought back to life via automaton! it is pretty good, best in my list so far
Oh that sounds fun, Ailyn! I hope you’ll enjoy it 🙂
Hercules and Freddy are so cute! 🙂 I hope that you enjoy your new book. Have a great weekend!
I think so, too, Chrissi 🙂 Thank you! Have a great weekend yourself!
Oh nice! I always say small hauls are the best! And they are because you still get a little something but the TBR pile doesn’t suffer tremendously! Hope you enjoy the new read!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I agree. Especially because my other hauls have been pretty big lately 🙂

Wow.. It was good trip I guess. I am so longing for a trip myself ? And your fogs are so cute ❤️
My STS
It sure was, Sim 🙂 I hope you’ll be able to take a trip, soon yourself!
Your dogs are so cute. I’m glad they had fun at the beach!
Thanks Aj 🙂 It was really nice to have some time off to relax.
Sounds like you enjoyed your vacation! Your dogs are so adorable and look like they were relaxed on the beach too. Have a great weekend!

They were pretty relaxed on the beach… once they finished digging holes and chasing each other, that is 😉
Cycling on the coast sounds fab. My idea of a lovely vacation, glad you enjoyed.
Heh… it was Mr. Lex cycling – not me! I could never follow him, he’s too sporty for me. I just went for strolls by the beach, or lounged with a good book, while also making sure the dogs and the kids were OK.
Freddy and Hercules look very happy on the beach! Glad you had fun…and got some sun.
Enjoy your new week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
The sun always recharges my batteries big time, Laurel-Rain, it was SO good!

Sounds like a lovely time you are having and the dogs are looking very content in the sun and sand. 🙂
It really was lovely, Stormi, and it was also needed!
Glad you and your family had a lovely vacation in Spain. Oh yes, fall water temps must have had you scurrying for the warm towels and blankets. 🙂 Ahhh, the dogs are adorable.
That was exactly it, Sophia! Scurrying and shivering and making sure I didn’t make too many weird sounds 😀
Nice to see you guys had a great time on vacation. I like seeing Freddy and Hercules. They are adorable. ^_^ Have a great week and happy reading!
I’m so happy the dogs are getting along, Angela! Freddy can be a little jealous at times, but he’s also very protective of Hercules, it really is cute.
It’s always nice to get to return to a beloved book world.
Have a great weekend.
It sure is, Katie. It’s like visiting with old friends 🙂
I’m planning to read The Mister series, Lexxie. Thanks for your recs. I’m curious about the author.
You, your daughters and the puppies seem to have had a wonderful week. I miss beach these days. It’s been months since the last time I saw a beach.
I hope you have an awesome week. Happy reading. ?❤️
I really love JA Huss! I haven’t loved all of her books, but her writing always draws me in, and she’s one of my autobuy authors 🙂
We did have a great week… my husband and one of my sons were there, too, but they don’t like me sharing their picture.
I hope you’ll be able to make a beach trip sooner rather than later 🙂

It always looks so beautiful by the sea. Hilarious that Freddy looks like he is on top of Hercules probably using him as a blanket so he doesn’t get full of sand. 🙂 They are so cute! I am glad they are getting along so well.
Have a great week, Lexxie! Miss you! Happy Reading! ox
I agree! I love being by the sea, it always relaxes me, and I get that vacation feel as soon as we get out of the car 🙂
Haha, often, it’s Hercules on top of Freddy, but Freddy doesn’t like that. I think Hercules is just used to sleeping with his brothers and sisters, and so he seeks another body for comfort.
Miss you too!! When will I see you again? {{{HUGS}}}
I’ve had small hauls lately but this week a whole bunch came in the mail. LOL Freddy and Hercules look like they’re snuggle buddies now and I bet H gets his swim fins together soon. He can’t let Freddy have all the fun!
My Sunday Post
Uh oh… I have those weeks, too, Laura. I’m always happy when my haul is more or less manageable, but it never seems to last.
You’re right! I’m sure Hercules is NOT going to let Freddy have all the fun 😀
I’m going a lot to the beach these days woth the dog too, it’s warm and nice to walk. But many persons are still swimming, I should try
That sounds really nice, Melliane! I bet you feel like you have so much time on your hands now that you’ve finalised your thesis!
lol totally! it’s weird but I also hope I’ll find something soon.
Are you job-hunting? If so, I’ll keep my fingers crossed and send all good vibes your way 🙂
The pics of the dogs are lovely – it’s great to see them getting on so well together. Weren’t you lucky with the weather? Although we, too, have had some marvellous weather – on Wednesday I was eating fish and chips on the beach at Bognor in bright sunshine. Long may it continue! Have a great week Lexxie.

Your pups are absolutely the cutest! I’m glad the weather was good to you and it seems like you had an amazing time and made some good memories with your family. 🙂

Sounds like you had a great week. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m sure Hercules will get more excited about swimming as he gets older. Glad he enjoyed the beach anyway. 🙂 Have a great week.
Oh Freddie and Hercules look adorable! Glad you were able to enjoy your week! Have a great week!
Oh Spain! How I miss Spain. 🙂 Have fun!
Sounds like you had a great vacation week! Your dogs look so cute and that’s nice they enjoyed the sand and water as well.
It’s nice to have a week with few new books now and then. Good to hear it was a good read!
Twitter: avalinahsbooks
Only one book! Complete self-control 🙂 (I know, you’ve just been too busy, right? :D)
The doggies are unbelievably cute 🙂 I can’t believe they are so friendly right off the bat 🙂
Sounds like you had a good time away! Love the photos.
What a lovely week! Sounds like a beautiful vacation spot.

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed Spain. It sounds like everyone had a great time. I love the new pictures of both pups in action and sleeping. They are to cute!
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on The Rules of Magic! Have a great week!
Looks like so much fun at the beach! The puppies are adorable.
It seems like your break was very lovely and relaxing! That’s wonderful!! I’m thinking you all needed it. 🙂 I’m going to Texas but it’ll only be a small “break”. I need to check in on my grandma and do a few things for her. I have to admit that traveling isn’t all that appealing right now! haha Anyway, I hope you all are feeling rejuvenated. I love seeing the photos of Freddy and Hercules. And I look forward to your review of Lies Jane Austen Told Me since it’s a book sitting on my shelf! (naturally!)
Love you and miss you, wifey!!! {{{smooches & hugs}}}
Aww looks like the pups enjoyed it. How long does it take to get to your place in Spain?
It takes us about seven hours by car, so not long at all 🙂
Sounds like you had a great time in Spain. Love those puppy pictures. They just look so cute.
I hope your having a great week. Happy reading! 😉
