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 #234
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:
After several weeks of HUGE stacks of new books – I got nothing this week. Are you proud of me?
The Sunday Post #184 – 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’ve had gorgeous weather this whole week, and it’s supposed to stay nice for the weekend, too. It’s nice to see the sun every day, and our trees change daily now. More flowers, colors, and beauty abounds in nature.
It was a bit busy at work, but not too much. I read some great books, and have to say the week was a good one.

No books? Opportunity to catch up on some. 🙂
Spring has sprung for you, yay. We’re still a little chilly for colors and green, but getting there.
Glad the week was good and hope the weekend is, too. 🙂
I know! And it actually feels really good, Sophia.
I hope spring will arrive for you soon, too. It’s nice to have the beautiful colors, the birds chirping and all 🙂
It’s finally getting nice here too, although still a bit cool. But the sun has been out and I’ll take it! Glad your weather has been nice too. And ooh looks like you’re giving the Illuminae books 5 stars. Yay! That was a fun series. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I’m glad it’s warming up in your neck of the woods as well, Greg. Winter this year was way too long…
It was really warm here too, 30°C
oh that’s nice, Melliane. Here, it was 27 yesterday, and it just feels so good!
I’m kinda sad this week had warm weather because next week friday I’m going on a little vacation to the coast for 5 days and the weather isn’t going to me as good. Damn. xD
No new books?! I thought I scrolled too fast for a minute! Lol! No new books is always nice for the TBR pile!
Glad you’re having good weather. Ours is still back and forth lately. I envy your good weather! 😉
My STS will be up tomorrow so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I know, usually I can’t keep up that kind of expectation of myself, though 😉

oh so great your dogs aren’t the diggy diggy type. lovely day out for your guys
They just love it when they can spend most of the day in the yard – as do we!

I am glad the spring is finally there 🙂 And here? it’s already summer and it’s too hot. We seriously need some rain 🙁 And good work for not hauling any book this week 😀
Straight up summer? That sounds tough – I’m not a big fan of heat, either. I like it when it’s just warm 🙂
No books at all?! Wow, good going! I… did not do that well, haha.
Haha. Usually, I just have so many books I’m not even sure how to showcase them all, so this was an unexpected and nice change, Nikki.
I had a small haul so I’m glad too. Every time I click on your link I’m excited to see your pups! They are so darn cute! Have a great week!
I’m glad the pups bring you joy, Barb 🙂 They need to be a part of my wrap-up post now, if not I feel like something is missing.
Wow a week of no books that is always impressive!
I know! It hardly ever happens, so it needs to be mentioned, too 😀
What a beautiful bed of flowers for the puppies. Enjoy your week and your reading. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thanks Laurel-Rain 🙂
Your pups are so cute! And well done on the week of no new books! You’re the second person I’ve seen this weekend that has pulled that off. I’ve been finding it kind of difficult lately, lol.
I hope you enjoy your week!
They are! I totally agree, Michelle 😀
It’s so very rare that I don’t get a single book, I felt like I should celebrate it 😀

Your furbabies are adorable, I have 3 now, my 14 year old sadly passed away only 3 weeks ago and we still miss her daily, she’s the one that had the most personality of the lot.
I’m going to check out your Illuminae files reviews, I’m just about to do the same, going to re-read Illuminae and following by book 2 and 3. Do you re-read books when the last of a book or the next book comes out?
Angelica @ Paperback Princess
So sorry to hear about your dog, Angela. That must be very hard – both for you and the other dogs 🙁
I don’t re-read books very often… but I hadn’t read any of the Illuminae books – I listened to them back to back.
Aw sweet babies. Glad yall are having some nice weather.
Thanks Anna 🙂

That Freddie picture! Looks great <3 those flowers look like some fairytale. It's been alright here, but not warm at all. I hope the nasty cold wind just up and leaves!
Freddy could have been named Ferdinand for sure 🙂 He loves the flowers. He rolls around frolicking and enjoying himself 😀
Yeay for good weather! Let’s hope it continues. 🙂
It’s great to have nice weather finally. It feels like this winter was so very long.
Awww…Freddy looks so adorable sniffing the flowers! I really need to read the Illuminae books soon!
He does, doesn’t he? I love that picture of him.
I hope you’ll enjoy the Illuminae Files as much as I did!
I wish I knew what our weather was doing, it keeps either raining or threatening to inbetween so much sun I’m sporting some pretty noticable sunburn. Today we’re going to take our small human to an indoor bouncy castle warehouse thing as it seems like a safe bet! Plus, I can sit and read…
Vee @ Under The Mountain
So you have rain / shine / rain / shine? I hope you’ll have some more stable weather now 🙂
The dogs are clearly enjoying the springlike weather – we are also enjoying a few days of lovely warm sunshine. I hope it continues for you, Lexxie:). https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/sunday-post-22nd-april-2018/
They love the sun! They’ll lie on the stone patio and soak up the warmth 🙂
So happy that your weather is good ours really is not. Enjoy your week ahead and happy reading 🙂 Your dog looks precious!
Sorry your weather isn’t too good, Cindy. I hope it’s better now!
I’m so jealous its been good weather for you! Its still kind of up and down here. Hopefully the snow is over at least!! The puppies look like they are happy as can be!
I am sorry the weather is still playing with you, Samantha. I’m quite happy things are finally warming up here, though.
Your weather sounds wonderful! The fur babies seems happy about it too. ? Hope you have a fantastic week.
It sure is nice to go outside with a little less clothes on!

Glad to hear you had such a good week Lexxie. Hope this week overs more of the same.
Thanks Kim <3
Congrats for not hauling any books! Glad you’re enjoying the weather, over here it’s been rather hot this week and I’m not a fan of heat xD hope you have a great week 🙂
I’m not a huge fan of heat, either… mild is perfect 😀
No books? Well I guess you’ll be able to read some on your TBR (what I should also be doing!)
I know – I was so surprised. My TBR is so huge it won’t really make a dent in it – but it still feels good to read books I already have 🙂
Happy to see Spring has arrived for someone! So many seem to still be waiting (not so patiently at this point). You had some great reads this past week too! Hope this continues into the next for you 🙂
I know! I was waiting quite impatiently before it finally arrived, too, Danielle 🙂
I’m envious that you have flowers. We have some on the pear tree, but most of the plants are still dead. I’m glad you read some great books. Have a great week!
I hope there will be more flowers where you live, Aj. It’s sad when everything is still just quiet and still after winter.
Nice to see the puppies enjoying the flowers. I hope to see them soon. I hope to read The Study of Seduction this week. Just started the series. Have a great week.
I love seeing them like that, too. They just look so happy and light 🙂
I hope you enjoyed The Study of Seduction as much as I did!
Thank you for mentioning my post! I know I owe your comment a reply, but I want to go ahead and say that I loved hearing a teacher’s perspective on assigned reading 🙂
I’m happy to hear you’ve gotten good weather this week. I love watching the trees and flowers bloom this time of year, even though it means hot weather is on the way. We have a dogwood in the backyard that looks absolutely gorgeous for about a week and I’m always sad to see the blossoms go. I hope you and the pups got to enjoy lots of fun time outside this weekend! 🙂
You’re welcome, JJ! I loved your post 🙂
I love seeing trees and flowers bloom, too, even with my pollen allergies 🙂 It’s just so nice to spend most of our time outside.
The pups look they are loving it too! Glad to see you are finally getting the spring weather too:)
They love it so much, Laura! They were disgusted having to go outside in the rain 🙁
Eeep hooray for awesome weather! Your dogs are sooo cute. I wish we had spring in our country! ♥
Thanks Aimee 🙂 There’s no spring in the Philippines? That’s sad!
*high five* *fist bump* I’m SOOOO proud of you! Honestly, I’m impressed as well. 😉 Did you not have internet?!? Haha Happy you enjoyed the weather and some good books. 😉
{{{BIG HUGS}}} & LOVE!!!
Ha! I had internet. And I think I was so occupied reading everything I already had I kind of didn’t look for anything new 😀
It’s awesome to have warmer weather, too. I’m outside as much as possible when I’m at home.
Always wonderful to see the puppies, and glad the weather has been so wonderful. Wow! No books at all? That’s sort of a shocker.(lol) Perfect way to catch up on the ones you have. Hope your week continues to be wonderful! Hugs…RO
I know! I was totally shocked too, Ro. I even went to my amazon account to double-check that I hadn’t forgotten any 😀
I love Spring! The nature coming back to life, ah, it is a delight. Glad to hear the Spring days are finally there too. The pups seem to enjoy it too!
I agree, Andrea. It’s really nice to have warmer weather.
I always love your pics of your pups! And it’s nice to see some flowers, finally, even if it is only in pictures. Spring seems like it will never come around here!
I hope flowers will arrive in your yard soon, too, Nicole!

Glad you have warm weather. It is still a little chilly here, but at least winter has finally left and we are in spring. I hope you have a great week.
Twitter: BerlsS
Glad you had a great week, Lexxie! Our weather has been so all over the place, I don’t even know anymore what I’m qualifying as a nice spring day LOL ! I’m so behind on visiting, but I hope you’re having a great week this week too! {{HUGS}} Miss you bunches!
Huh! That’s weird, Berls. That it’s cold in Texas!!!
I’m behind on everything to do with the blog lately, so don’t worry. <3
I’m glad spring has finally arrived, Melanie! We almost went straight to summer – but apparently, we’re going back to spring now 😀
Your dogs are adorable. Not to play favourites but especially Hercules.
