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 #196
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 Blackstone Publishing, Harlequin MIRA, Kensington, and NetGalley!
Thank you Avon and Edelweiss
I bought a whole bunch of books this last week… I’m preparing for a signing I’m going to in September, and there were some authors I haven’t read that my blogger friends said I would love, and so I went on a nice one-click-spree…
I got Hello Forever, Rookie Move, and Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen, Bossed by Sloan Howell (which was hilarious!), This is Falling and You & Everything After by Ginger Scott, and finally, Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon.
The Sunday Post #146 – 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.
My husband and the boys drove back home on Wednesday, as my husband and oldest son have to work, and my other son didn’t want to stay here with just his youngest sister and me… That’s OK, though, as we get to spend some good mother-daughter time together.
On Thursday, I had planned a little outing by car that had to be canceled. When we arrived in our parking garage (which is closed and private!) This is what my car looked like:
So the left rear tire is flat, and there are several gauges made by keys on the left backside as well… The strange thing is – the tire isn’t broken, it appears that someone just let the air out… no idea who I’ve managed to piss off, or if it’s just random :O

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!
What an ugly thing to do to your car!
Neat book haul though. I imagine its fun anticipating the book event in September with all those goodies arriving. 🙂
I know, right? The mechanic said he thought someone might have pinged my car when they were leaving their own parking space, and got upset about it… I mean, it’s our space, but we’re only here in Spain part of the year, so most of the time it’s empty.
It is fun to anticipate a book event and read books by authors that are new to me 🙂
Have a great weekend, Sophia!

that’s terrible~ it is a private space, unless someone has been airbnb your place without you knowing and got upset about it?
Yeah, who knows… we aren’t here all that often, so that just might be.
Oh wow that is awful about the car. What an awful thing to do to someone. Yay to lots of books and a book signing. Freddy is so adorable! Have a great week!
Yeah, it really got to me at first, and then, I ended up being happy the tire just needed air…
Thanks for stopping by, Grace 🙂
Oh no! That’s terrible and kinda scary about your car! Hopefully your insurance can help get things set to rights! As always Freddy is just too cute!
Nice new reads too! Totally new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Yeah, my insurance will help. The thing that got to me was that this could have been when I got to the car with my luggage, all ready to drive home, only to have a flat tire to deal with. *sighs*
Have a great week ahead, Jessica!
I’m so sorry to hear about your car. That’s horrible. People can be so cruel sometimes.
I hope you have a great time at the book signing. I would love to go to an event like that one day. Hope you have a better week this week!
Yeah, I’m glad I got the tire sorted out so easily!
Book events are amazing, Julie, I hope you’ll be able to go to one, too!
Thats scary to hear someone doing that to your car. I mean some people have no balls. I hope you love all of your new books.
Grace @ Books of Love
It might actually be better that they got mad at my car, and not at me…
Thanks for stopping by, Grace 🙂
One click is way too useful sometimes…I can’t stand cowards who decide to just damage a car, whether it is random or targeted at someone. Enjoy your books.
I know! I added loads of books, but they were SO good, and sometimes, when I read the first book in a series, I just can’t wait to read the next ones.
Oh, I hate to find a flat tire…or scratches. Glad it was just the air let out, though; the last time I had that unpleasant surprise, the tire was gouged and I had to spend hours at the tire shop getting a new one.
Enjoy your vacation…and Freddy looks like he loves the beach.
I’m curious about The Night Child. Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Yeah, I’m glad it was just the air let out, too! I can’t imagine having the patience to do that, though – it takes a long time!
Freddy does love the beach, but I don’t dare taking him to the part of the beach where dogs are allowed. There are so many dogs off their leashes there, and I know a small dog was attacked there a while back 🙁
I’m so sorry to see what happened to your car! That’s rubbish! I hope you have a better week. Enjoy your books!
Thanks, Chriss!
Oh man. Not a nice thing to do to someones car. So sorry! Looks like Freddy had a great outing ^_^
Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
Freddy did have a great outing 🙂 He loves being here, both because we’re with him more, and because his walks are more diverse.
I am so sorry to see what happened to your car!! Some people just like to cause trouble. I hope you and your daughter have a great time together despite the car issues! Enjoy your books!
I know! And I’m over it now – especially after realising I didn’t have to dish out money to buy a new tire 😀
My daughter and I are having a great time. We’re lazy, going to the beach or for walks with Freddy. Or just staying inside, reading 🙂
One clicking is the best, there’s so little time to stop yourself ha ha! Hope they’re good reads!!
Sorry to hear about your vehicle, that’s ridiculous that someone would do that . I don’t know about people sometimes. Hope the next week is better as far as that goes and you don’t have any further trouble.
I have no restraint, though… so my one-clicking sprees usually make me end up with WAY too many books 😀
I’m glad the tire only needed air, and that I didn’t have to buy a new one. I have no idea why people would think it’s OK to do that to someone else’s car, either.
Oh my god, why would someone do that to another person’s car. =/ Aside from that hope you’ll enjoy your new books. I like the sound of Lady Be Bad. I’m really into historical romances lately so it definitely caught my eye. 🙂

Oh no! I’m sorry about the car… Did you file a police report? I’m glad the tire wasn’t actually broken, that at least makes getting her up and running easier. But how scary! I sure hope it was random – much better to be a target by bad luck than someone’s rage!
Enjoy your mother daughter time 🙂 HUGS! MISS YOU!!
I’m intrigued by the cover of The Night Child. Sorry to hear about your car though. That’s really crummy.
Here’s my STS: http://justanothergirlandherbooks.blogspot.de/2017/07/stacking-shelves-22-july-2017.html
Freakin’ people!!! What a pain in the butt! I’m so sorry someone messed you and yours like that, even if it was only letting the air out and scratching the clear coat or paint. They touched your stuff, man!!! Boooo!!!
That’s so cool you’re going to a book signing soon! I can’t wait to hear about it – fun!! And oops, I’ve scheduled my Wildfire review for Monday, too. Hope that’s okay 😀
Have a great week!!
Awww…sorry about your car. Glad you are back home!
Here’s my Stacking the Shelves!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
oh it looks like you got some great books there. I am pretty excited to read Megan Frampton’s book. I am sorry to hear about your car though, weird and crazy, but Karma right? But really who does that?
os not a good surprise for the car… happy reading!

That is horrible about your car. Who would do that! I hope your enjoy all your new books the only one I have read is Everything Everything which I enjoyed.
Twitter: limabean74
Ugh! Sorry about your car. Someone hit our car while it was parked at the store and my husband didn’t notice until he got home. We have no idea who did it and it’s a pretty good bump. I was so mad.
I hope you enjoy your time with your daughter that is one of my favorite things to do 🙂
Have a great week, Lexxie! Happy Reading! ox
Sorry about the car! I don’t understand people…
The Night Child looks like a great read. I hope you have a better week next week!

Ooh, The Night Child – I wanted that one, but wasn’t granted it. Oh well! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Oh, how awful about your car! Enjoy the new books. 🙂

Oh no! I’m so sorry about your car. What an awful thing to do!
I’m glad you got to spend some nice time with your family though – Freddy looks like he also enjoyed?
Have a good week this week and I hope you enjoy your new reads!
That Brenda Novak book looks good! And that’s nice you went on a shopping spree. I have a few of Sarina Bowen’s books, but haven’t read any of them yet.
I am sorry to hear about your car damage, that must’ve been a shock to see your car like that.
Freddy seems to enjoy the beach :). Have a great week!
That is awful! I hope who ever did it gets what they deserve. I hope this doesn’t ruin your vacation. Mother-daughter time sounds like fun. I like doing that with my daughters too. I hope you have a better week and a great time with your daughter.
Twitter: bmreviewsohmy
Great haul! That was an awful thing that happened. I never could understand why someone would do that to a car. Hope you still had a good mother/daughter time. Great Freddy Pics. 🙂
Oh sorry about the car. I would be SO freaked out. It happened to us once last year. It appeared to be random since it was the first time we were at the place but still…
Anyway, glad to hear that you had an amazing week, reading wise. All Five starred books in a week. I wish it could happen to me. It would be like heaven!
Have a wonderful week filled with amazing books. Happy reading my friend.
That’s a shitty thing they did to your car! I also noticed today my passenger door handle had been marked all up with keys in vertical swipes. It upsets me so much that people are so disrespectful and outright destructive to other people who have worked hard for what they have. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Spain trip with your daughter – and all those books!
Oh that stinks on the car. People are just terrible sometimes. I loved Say No To Joe back in the day. Fun to see it coming around again 🙂
So sorry your car was damaged! I hope the repair bill isn’t too big. I am glad you had some mother-daughter-Freddy time. Those moments are important.
I’m not going to do anything about the scratches until I get home… Maybe I’ll just change the color scheme completely.

Well, that just isn’t very nice. It sucks that someone did that to you. I hope that everything else on your stay has been good. I hope that this week is better.
Everything else during our stay here has been really good, Melanie. And I’m very happy I didn’t find my car that way when we were supposed to use it to get back home.
