Weekend Wrap-up is where I share my new books, as well as what happened here at (un)Conventional Bookworms and elsewhere in the blogoshpere. I’m linking up with the usual suspects, AKA Team Tynga’s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer.
STS #250
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 Edelweiss and Gallery Books, NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press!
I’m pretty proud of myself for only adding two books this week 😀
The Sunday Post #200 – 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.
I had another busy week, and I was so happy after my class at Uni on Friday – because it was officially the weekend. I will have some work to do this weekend, but I won’t have to leave the house if I don’t want to.
On Friday, child #2 turned 21, and we celebrated at home with his favorite meal and cake, and it was great! Here’s the birthday cake I baked for him:

Yeah for being able to stay home in your comfy clothes all weekend. 🙂
You did great only picking up two books this week.
Oh, yummy! You make a delicious-looking cake. Cute puppy pics from the party.
Being able to just stay home is the best! And now, I have finished grading all the papers I had… I just have to prepare tests for some of my other students for next week 😀
Thanks, Sophia!
Ooh happy birthday to child #2!! And hope you have a super relaxing weekend. I know weeks like that, where you just wanna veg all weekend and relax. 🙂 And what is it about wrapping paper and dogs (or cats too- mine go nuts over it)? Oh well at least it entertains them. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Thank you Greg! And kids – kids love wrapping paper, too 🙂 It’s so funny. One of my daughters filmed the dogs, and it’s hilarious to watch.
Have a great weekend yourself.
I *just* entered a giveaway for The Girl He Used to Know. I really enjoy Tracy’s storytelling – plus, she’s such a neat person. Happy birthday to child #2! That cake looks epic… and I don’t even care for sweets. 🙂 Hope it’s a relaxing weekend after the busy week!
