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 #256
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 Touchstone and NetGalley!
The Sunday Post #206 – 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 felt so very long! I had more classes than usual in Uni, and on Thursday, I was at work for 17 hours… teaching, two meetings with other teachers, and parent meetings in the evening. I wasn’t even sure what my name was once it was over. Thank goodness it’s the weekend!
Tonight, the girls and I are going to a light show in the park by the University, then the whole family is going to a hockey game to watch oldest son play. It’s been a long time since everybody has been home at the same time, so I look forward to it a lot.

Whew! That 17 hour day sounds brutal. Glad its the rarity and not the norm for you. The light show and hockey game sound like good times for the family. Ahhh, love the puppy pics. Freddie’s perplexed face cracks me up.
Nice little haul there. The new Sarina Bowen is calling my name, too.
Have a lovely weekend, Lexxie!
It was totally brutal, Sophia – but it’s behind me now 😀 Thank goodness!
Freddy cracked me up, too – he is so funny when we ask him questions 🙂
I’ve already read Fireworks, it was AWESOME!
Thanks for stopping by Sophia Rose.
Yeah, I felt like this week was extra long. I even had a holiday on Monday. But then work was just crazy with phone calls and unhappy people and I had no one to help me out in that area. Friday was really bad. I was glad I had a doctor appointment and had to leave early!
Nice new reads! Mostly new to me ones but I have seen one or two floating around this week! 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 guess you’re as happy as I am it’s the weekend, Jessica 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you enjoy your new books and have a fabulous, relaxing weekend.
Thanks Katie 🙂
Holy Cow! 17 hours is a long day. Take a seat, put your feet up. You deserve it. I hope you all enjoyed the light show and hockey game. Sounds like you have some fun plans. I need to get the new Bowen book. I am trash for her books. LOVE THEM!
That’s exactly what I did, Sam 🙂 I did take a seat and put my feet up – for a little while at least 🙂
We had fun last night, my son’s team won, and he scored, so that made it even more fun.
The new Bowen book is fantastic! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, a 17 hour day sounds terrible! Hope you have a great upcoming week.
I also got The Winter Sister.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Yeah, it was a looong day for sure. Next week should be more manageable, but still busy 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
It’s been a long time since I had a work day that long! It sounds like you have some fun relaxing plans. And the pups are looking their usual adorable selves:)
Thank goodness those days are few and far between!
Hercules looks so happy and Japan, no wonder Freddy had that look. I think The Winter Sister sounds pretty good and if my library gets a copy, I’ll probably snatch it. Hope you have a great week!
Haha – I know. But any time we ask him something, he puts his head to the side like that, it’s so cute.
I think The Winter Sister is to be published in February next year, and it does indeed look good.
Have a great week yourself, Barb.
I hope you enjoyed the hockey game today – and the light show last night! Is that the same one as you shared pictures/videos of a few years back? I also hope you’re getting some rest and relaxation time, wifey! You need it after last week! And I hope this coming week is a little less hectic for you.
Also, looking at your book haul I see a few possible buddy reads. 😉
Miss you and love you, darling!! {{{big hugs}}}
We ended up not going to the light show… youngest was a pest when she came grocery shopping with me, so I’ll go another evening instead.
I have been relaxing a bit, but there are still some things that need to be done, you know how it is.
Buddy reads are the best, wifey! Love and miss you, too!
Ooh The Winter sister looks good! Kind of a creepy cover (which I like lol). Hope you have a great night at the game, and a fabulous weekend overall!
Love the Hercules/ Freddy pics this week! 🙂
I agree, it does look a bit creepy, and I hope I’ll enjoy it.
The hockey game was fun!
Hope you have fun at the game tonight! You deserve some rest after a long week. Also, your puppies are adorable.
Thanks Marti 🙂 The game was a lot of fun! And of course, I agree, my puppies are the best 😉

brutal 17 hour day is on of the things i do not miss in pharmacy. Your puppies are indeed cute and best
Usually, my days are not that long, thank goodness!
Those long days are the worst! We had conferences last week and I was there from 7 am until 8:30 pm…it was rough! Hopefully you have a less busy week!
Thank goodness we don’t have conferences every week, right? Next week will be a little bit better, and the week after even better than that 😀 Thanks for stopping by Samantha!
Oh man. I’m sorry your week has been so tiring. 17 hours of work is just terrible. Hope the light show at the park was fun. I went to one on Friday and really enjoyed it. I hope you have a better week and get some relaxing you time. Take care!
P.S your pups make me smile! 🙂
I wasn’t working non stop, but there was never enough time to leave and go do something else. I’m glad my pups make you smile, Nick!

I hope this week is better for you!
I LOVE those puppies! They are just to cutest! 🙂
Have a great time at the hockey game.
Have a great week, Lexxie! Miss your face! Happy Reading! ox
Oh God, a seventeen hours day?! That’s so exhausting! How did you make it alive? I hope you enjoyed the light show and the hockey game and they helped relax after such a day.
Wishes of a good week!
Thank goodness for the weekends, especially if you have a busy week!

I’m glad to not have those long work days now. Yay for the weekend and rest. Do your guys have Thanksgiving? I’m guessing not. We are fortunate to have a holiday week often with family this next week. For a change we are staying home and doing nothing more complex than cooking, playing board games and reading. Enjoy those new books! Anne – Books of My Heart
I can remember 22 hour shifts as airport security which were stressful and not a lot of fun! The Puppy Walkabout is so cute!
I would look so flustered if I were asked to go to Japan as well. Freddie’s picture made my day.
You’re not int he US right? DO you get Thanksgiving or a break this week? Cute puppy pics 🙂
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
You’re right, I’m not in the US, and there are no days off this week. My week is still a little slower, though, so I’m all good, Karen.
Can’t believe it’s already time for the 2019 challenges to go up! I’ve got to start making my annual master list!!
Thanks for brightening my day with your puppy pics! 🙂

That does sound like a long day. I’m tired just reading it. Sounds like you had some fun too last week. I hope you’re having a great week.
