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 #240
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 to the publishers and NetGalley!
Thank you Tantor Media!
The Sunday Post #190 – 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.
This week was very busy! On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, my students had oral exams, and I was drained afterwards. However, I also had written exams from three other classes that I had to grade before Friday. Now, classes and grading is over with, and we just have meetings class councils before summer is here.
I also got accepted into the MA program for teaching, so I’m starting two more years of uni myself in the fall – while I also continue to teach part time.
This Week’s Puppies in Action:
Me: *raises eyebrow*
No posts found.
- [19 Jun] Midyear Freak-Out Book Tag
- [21 Jun] Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #153 – Rainy Day Friends
So, I have continued to not really blog – and I hardly even read any books last week because I was so busy. I hope I’ll find the time and the motivation to write some posts now that most of the stress of the school year is over.
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!

got a few recipe books if that counts! wow, hope your new teaching/ student life is great! of course it will be stressful, but may this be an enjoyable type of stress
Of course recipe books count! I want to know if you’re going to try something new and yummy 😀
That’s great about your MA program! And yay for Freddy’s freedom!!
Nice new reads too! They are all new to me ones! Hope you enjoy them all!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I’m really happy I finally got accepted! Third time is the charm 🙂
Freddy is happy without the cone, but I still have to monitor him a bit so he doesn’t start gnawing again and make things back to bad…
Whew, yes! Last week of school sounded super busy. Glad you get to slow down somewhat, now. Congrats on getting accepted into the MA program for the fall.
Hercules does look guilty. Good for Freddy to be free and ready to play.
Have a great week, Lexxie!
Yes, it really was very busy – but it’s over now! And I made it 🙂 Which is why I’m outside in the backyard right now, with my laptop and some champagne 😉
Thank you Sophia!!
Lord of Secrets looks good. Gotta love historical romance! 😀 The innocent look on Hercules’ face is everything! xD
I love Erica Ridley, and that series is a lot of fun, so I’m really happy I got a copy of her upcoming book.
Hercules… it was so hard to stay serious when I found him with that…
It sounds like Freddy is ready to play again. The look on Hercules face is priceless. You got some interesting books this week.
Grace @ Books of Love
Yes, he’s definitely ready to play. And Hercules’ guilty face is always priceless. I need to bite the inside of my cheek not to smile 😀
Super jealous of your Audio ARC of After Care. Hope you enjoy it (and all your other new books).
Have a great weekend.
I was so happy when After Care arrived yesterday, Katie 🙂 Have a great weekend yourself!
Congrats Lexxie!!! That’s awesome! And hope you enjoy your downtime now that exams are over.
Yay for Freddy- no cone. Bet he’s happy… 🙂
Thanks, Greg! I’m so happy 🙂
And yes, so is Freddy.
Administering orals is draining for me too. Hope next week is easier for you!
Not only are they normally draining – but this year, students had their orals in pairs, they had to have a discussion analysing a passage :O I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep track on who said what I had put in three breaks during the day. I did well, though, and so did the students! Lesson learned… less breaks next time 😀
Congrats on your new challenges. Enjoy your books, too; they look tempting.
Cute puppies! Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thanks Laurel-Rain 🙂 Tempting books are the best books 😉
A hectic week with a great book haul. Congrats on the MA program. Here’s to a summer of reading. Anne – Books of My Heart
Thanks Anne 🙂 I’m very relieved I got accepted to the MA program – I’ve tried for a few years now, but there are only enough space for 20 future English teachers each year.
Wow, it sounds like you’ve been busy. Enjoy your new books!
Thanks Aj 🙂
Congratulations on your acceptance. Sounds like you’ll be very busy next year. Enjoy this summer and I’m loving the pup pics!
Yes, it’ll definitely be very busy, but I have to do this in order to get tenure, so I’m really happy I can finally start…
Congratulation on being accepted in the MA prohram!! Wow, your week sounds super busy, a good one. Hope you enjoy the new arrivals to your shelf. Have a great week!
Thanks Jenea 🙂 I hope I’ll enjoy the new arrivals as well.

Congrats on getting accepted, but OMG! How will you manage? You are a true superwoman.
I have actually been reading much less lately too. Only read 5 books this month. I hope to get more during my trip next week, cause I will have loads of hours on the bus with nothing better to do. I guess I’ve just been busy!
Thanks Evelina 🙂 I will manage – somehow. All teachers here go through the same thing. Two years of a Master’s in education, while teaching part time at the same time 🙂
I can’t read on a bus – I get sick then. But audiobooks work for me that way 🙂
Have fun!!

Lexxie what a busy week! Congrats on the MA you must be so excited. Have a wonderful week, my weekly wrap up looks alot like yours, more books but nothing else LOL at least you’ve got a reason.
As always gorgeous furbaby pics.
Thanks Angelica 🙂 More books is always good 😉
The end of the school year is such a busy time! Hopefully things will settle down for all. 🙂 I love the pups in action pics.
It sure is hectic – but it’s almost over 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Jennifer.

Congrats on getting accepted for the MA program!
Yay! No cone for Freddy! They are such cuties! 🙂
I hope you have an amazing week, Lexxie! Miss you! <3 ox
Thanks Michelle, I’m really happy about that!
Freddy is very happy without the cone 🙂 Hercules helped him get it off, then ruined it… he probably would have kept it a little bit longer if not for that 😉 Miss you too!

Congrats on getting in the MA program! Sounds like your going to be very busy with that and teaching part-time! Freddy and Hercules are just so adorable!
Have a great week and happy reading!

Week in Review
Thank you Stormi! Yes, I’ll definitely be busy, but this is for two years, and really necessary, too.
Thanks for stopping by <3
Congrats on the MA program! Glad you are almost on summer break-thats the best part of teaching! Enjoy your books 🙂
Many things for you. Your books are new to me but I hope you’ll enjoy them! happy reading!
OMG Lexxie so much work! You have my admiration!
Congratulations on getting accepted into your Master’s program! I hope that all of the grading from finals winds down soon and you get to enjoy a little R&R at last 🙂
When I was in school I never ready any at all when it was finals time and I imagine it’s ten times worse being the teacher! Congrats on getting into the MA program and good luck with the two years of school on top of teaching part time. You’re going to be busy but hopefully it’ll be good busy! Hercules looks so incredibly guilty! Love the puppy pictures. Have a great week!
Huge congratulations on being accepted on the MA program – I’m sure you’ll do really well:). I’m glad to see Freddy is now recovered and free of the cone of shame. This time of year is always frantic for teachers – I hope you aren’t too tired. At least the end is in sight and then you will be able to resume your life and decompress!
I’m glad it’s almost summer for you! And congrats on getting into the MA program; I’m sure it will be a lot – with teaching part time too – but you can do it!!
-Lauren
Congrats on heading back to uni!
Enjoy your summer break and fingers crossed you get some good reading time in. 🙂
I am so glad that you’re done with all the examinations – summer is almost here. Congratulations on getting accepted into the MA program as well. I hope those 2 years will go well x
