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 #
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 Edelweiss!
The Sunday Post # – 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 has been so very hot here this week- it’s almost impossible to sleep. And function. We also replaced all the bay windows this week, and we’re so happy we finally got that done. On Friday night, we had a little party to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we had a great evening.
This Week’s Puppies in Action:
Finally, I have some cool pictures of Freddy and Hercules to share with you this week. They’ve been good dogs with all the people that have been around the house this week.
They appreciate crunching an ice cube every now and then with this heat.
Hercules turned one on Friday, and so he and Freddy got a little treat 🙂

Ugh it’s been hot in Belgium too and I can’t stand it. I hope it ends soon. I’m ready for fall weather, to be honest.

I’m actually more than ready for fall weather myself, Stephanie. Bring on the crisp fall days, and cool nights, too!

i heard it went up to 47C some places! hope you keep cool and hydrated

Oh my gosh! We ‘only’ had 34 here, but I still felt like I was melting!

Ugh, our heat has been bad too. It’s always hot and humid. Though I think it was 2 weeks ago, we had an oddly beautiful day where it was barely 80 degrees out! That was spectacular! Lol. Happy Belated Birthday to Hercules! Can’t believe he’s one already!
Nice new reads too! Lots of new to me ones but I hope you will enjoy each and every one of them!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂

LOL at being happy with barely 80 degrees out, Jessica! I can hardly wait for fall! I would definitely like for the sun to continue to shine, but I’m over the heat 🙂
Have a great week!

Its been so hot here in NYC as well. So I can identify with your frustration about how hot it is. Your dogs look like they are happy. Nice stack of books.
Reply
My dogs are almost always happy, thank goodness 🙂 I hope the weather will cool down for both of us soon, Grace 🙂

Guess we all had a hot one this past week. Glad your window project went in well.
I need to get the new KA Chaos book.
Ah, love seeing the puppies.
Reply
Ha! I’m glad our window project went well, too – apart from the fact that now I want to change all the upstairs windows as well 😀
Reply
It’s hot here too. Just came in from a dip in the pool. Loving your summer reads. And Happy Birthday to your husband and Freddy! Stay cool:)
Reply
I think I need a pool. That would be awesome! Or, next summer, I’ll make sure I stay in Spain for the duration 🙂
Reply
Oops! I meant Hercules!
Reply
So Switzerland is hot too? Well Belgium feels like an oven too. And nice trick with the ice cubes. I will try it with my own fur baby!
Reply
Yes, it sure is! I can’t wait for fall. We also have very difficult topography in Geneva, with the lake, and tall mountains all around. Several times, the forecast told us it was rain, but the clouds never made it here 🙂
Reply
Sorry its been so hot! Its not been great here in the states, but we are used to that in the summer. The dogs are cute! Have a great week!
Reply
I usually don’t spend this much time at home in the summer, so I’ve been spoiled 😀 Have a great week yourself, Samantha!
Reply
It seems to be hot everywhere. I love seeing all the new books and puppies in action. Anne – Books of My Heart

I’m glad you enjoy both my new books and the puppies, Anne. And you’re right – it does appear to be hot everywhere. I just want it to cool off a little bit so I can breathe!
Reply
Happy birthday to your husband! I hope the weather cools down soon. The dogs are cute. My dog likes ice, too.
Reply
Thanks AJ! I hope the weather cools down, too. I just prefer cool to scorching hot!
Reply
Ack hope the hear dies down for you soon! That’s the worst. And happy birthday to your husband, and Hercules too!
Hope you’re having a good weekend. 🙂
Reply
From your lips to the gods ears, Greg! I really hope the heat will disappear, too.
Reply
Hercules is already one?!?!?!? wow!! Where does the time go? I remember you just got him. That’s unbelievable.
Reply
I know, right? I only picked him up at the beginning of October last year, but still!
Reply
I so loved the Lauren book! I hope you’ll have a great one! Happy reading!
Reply
I haven’t started that one yet – but I love them so much, so I can’t wait 🙂
Reply
Yes, it’s hot here, too. Temperatures up in the 80s which is almost unheard of in the land of drizzle. No wonder the dogs like crunching ice cubes:). Glad your husband’s birthday celebrations went well and hope the coming week is cooler…
Reply
We’re in the middle of the 90s, and I hate it. It’s hard to sleep at night, and so, I’m cranky during the day 😀 Good thing I can stay inside to read!
Thanks for stopping by Sarah!
Reply
The pups are adorable as always! It’s hot here too and sleeping is hard – but walking outside is even harder – which means more reading inside. Ha ha!
Reply
Way to put a positive spin on it all, Andreea! It’s definitely too hot to be outside, it’s good I don’t start work until the end of August 🙂
Reply
Happy belated to your hubby, and glad you had a great time at the party. I feel your pain with the heat. Even though we’ve had rain just about every day last week, the heat was still over the top and uncomfortable. Hopefully you guys will see some relief soon. Hugs…RO
Reply
We got a nice, long thunderstorm last night, Ro, and today, it’s back up to over 90 🙁 Soon, I’ll be complaining it’s too cold to sit outside in the mornings…
Reply
Happy Birthday to your husband. Our weather here has been in the low 80’s and some 70’s. I think Fall is going to be coming soon for us. The leaves are covering our ground already. Enjoy all the new amazing books you got and try and stay cool.
Reply
Thanks Jenea 🙂 And your weather sounds amazing!
Reply
I need to check out Lauren’s book. Is that a follow up to Roomies? Happy Birthday to Mr. Unconventional. We’ve had mild weather this week, but I am just so happy it is summer, I don’t care. Hope your week ahead is lovely my friend!
Reply
I think this book is a stand alone, Kim! It sounds really good – plus I love Christina Lauren 🙂
I’m over summer. It sounds weird, but I am! We don’t have AC, so I feel like I’m melting away.
Reply
Aww your dogs are adorable! My sister’s dog is the same, he loves chasing around ice cubes, especially in this weather!
Reply
They love to go swimming in the creek as well – they just need to cool down like the rest of us 🙂
Reply
I think I need to read some of BB’s books. I love the covers! Love your doggies, they are so cute!
Have a wonderful week!
Mary my #SundayRoundup #30!

I’ve read all of BBs books already, and they were awesome!! Run and get them, Mary 🙂
Reply
Happy birthday to your husband…and enjoy those new bay windows. I love bay windows!
The puppies look like they are having a good summer.
I’ve been eyeing some of Christina Lauren’s books. Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Reply
Thanks Laurel-Rain 🙂 They are having a great summer. Swimming in the creek, always having at least one of their humans at home…
Reply
I know the feeling, it’s been way too hot here as well. Makes it hard to focus and sleep. That’s nice you replaced those bay windows.Your dogs are so cute. Have a great week!
Reply
I hope it will cool down for both of us, Lola 🙂 I need to be able to sleep better.
Reply
Aw, what adorable doggos! When the weather gets warm I usually put a frozen water bottle in my rabbit’s cage, but even then he just likes to hide under his blanket. (He actually lives indoors and stays quite comfortable, but he is in front of a window—for the view ?) I suppose the mind of a bunny is a mystery!
Happy belated birthday to your husband, and hooray for finishing installing those windows!
Reply
Yeah, we need to keep our animals as cool as possible so they don’t get sick… I have no idea what goes on in a bunny’s mind… we used to have one, too 🙂
Have a great week, JJ!
Reply
I need to read Christina Lauren’s new book, I’ve heard some wonderful things about it. I still need to catch up with KA Chaos series. Enjoy all your new reads. It’s always enjoyable to see photos of Freddy and Hercules.
Reply
I hadn’t heard of Christina Lauren’s book until I spotted it on Edelweiss… but it sounds really good! And I already read the new Kristen Ashley book, loved it and am happy I wasn’t able to wait.
Reply
It’s been super hot here too… and rainy. So much rain. I’m hoping we don’t get much rain this week!
Reply
We finally got some rain last night – so it was cool while it was dark. Now, it’s back up to the 90s, though 🙁
Reply
I’m a little envious of some of your new books, wifey. But I, too, hauled in Wild Like the Wind. 😉 I hope your temps cool down. It’s starting to feel fallish around here…temps dipping into the 40’s overnight. I’m loving it.
Enjoy your week! {{{BIG HUGS}}} & LOVE
Reply
I already read Wild Like the Wind… It was SO good. But you already knew that, as it’s a KA book 😉 I hope our temps cool down, too. I’m not made for this weather. Love you too!
Reply
Cute dogs!
I can’t wait to read Wild Like The Wind. 🙂
Reply
OMG! The heat and humidity. Even on days when it isn’t as hot, the humidity is so bad, it almost hurts to breathe. I hope you get some cooler temps in your future. Loved seeing the pups. 😀
Reply
I know! It was killing me. We’ve had rain since last night now, and I’m SO happy! I’m wearing jeans and long sleeves, and singing in the rain 🙂
Reply
I’ve been OK with the heat as I’m staying inside, but I have noticed in the last week that it seems to get hotter in my bedroom as night and the dark encroach. I have the ceiling fan and tower fans going, my air purifier, and had the AC set to 73. It should be fine, but one night I woke up drenched in sweat. You’d have thought someone poured cups of water all over me and the sheets. Even turning the AC down to 70 I’m still waking up sweaty. I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t like it. I hope you get some relief soon!
