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 #265
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 authors for these ARCs! I’m really excited about them 🙂
I also got an ARC for When the Gods Forget (Forgotten Gods series #2) by Kennedy Daly. And I just can’t wait to read it. Watch this space for a cover reveal fairly soon!

This week went by really fast – and it was a very busy week. Sadly, I’ve had trouble sleeping this week, so I’m pretty tired. Thank goodness it’s the weekend! Between work and a lot of meetings, I haven’t been home much.

Nice haul for the week. I just got an older Elle Kennedy college series book for freebie that I think is connected to The Risk. Ah, that cover on the Brenda Novak book is so relaxing. Hey! I got Courting Darkness this week, too.
Sorry about the lack of sleep. I had a couple nights like that when we had a lot of high wind rattling the the trees and house through the night. Hopefully, you can catch up on sleep this weekend.
Haha! Yes, they do look eager for their walk. 🙂
I absolutely love Elle Kennedy! I only started reading her books in late 2017, and I think I’ve read almost all of them now 😮
I agree, that cover is awesome.
I hope we’ll both enjoy Courting Darkness, Sophia 🙂 And that we’ll also continue to sleep well at night!
i wonder which ones would be your favourite? Brenda novak one looks good

I hope that you sleep better this week. It is tough when you’re not sleeping well.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
It really sucks not sleeping well! Thanks for stopping by, Melanie 🙂
Nice new reads! New to me ones though I hear good things about Robin Lafevers! Hope you enjoy your new reads!
I feel like I struggle to fall asleep on a nightly basis. I almost wonder if I have a low form of insomnia. I mean I eventually fall asleep like on weekends I stay up later whereas during the week I try to go to bed early because I get up early to exercise. I usually end up taking a sleep aid and it’s 50/50 if it will work or not! Lol. Hope you’re able to get some rest this weekend and that you’re able to sleep better next week! 🙂
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Ugh! Not being able to fall asleep is so hard! And sometimes, I wake up around two, and spend a couple of hours awake before I fall asleep again 🙁 I hope you’ll be able to sleep better, too, Jessica!
Robin Lafevers is awesome! I loved her first series, and I can’t wait to see what’s up with this new duology 🙂
Have a great weekend.
Sorry you had trouble sleeping this week. I bet it had to do with how busy you were with so much stuff going on. Great haul! I got Faith Hunter and Donna Grant ARCs to keep me busy. Unfortunately I don’t think I’m going to get my book club book read unless I spend some serious time reading! Sleep better and have a great week!
Thanks Tanya.
I hope you’ll enjoy your ARCs 🙂
Great haul! I am curious about The Risk. I’ve also been meaning to read Brenda Novak.
Cute puppy shots.
Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Ooh Courting Darkness. I’ve been seeing that everywhere lately and it reminds me I still need to go back and read the rest of the prior series. I really liked Grave Mercy!
Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend! 🙂
I loved that prior series, Greg – it was SO good!
Some good looking books. I hope you manage to get some sleep. It’s horrible when you can’t rest. I really really know that we want to walk look?
Yeah, I’m pretty happy with my haul this week, Barb!
I’ve had insomnia lately, too. You’d think I’d get more reading done if I’m not sleeping, but nope. I’m just really tired. I hope you get some rest soon. Have a great week!
Oh I’m sorry you haven’t been sleeping well lately either, Aj! It really sucks! I hope we’ll both get only good nights this coming week!

Yes I had some sleep problems too. Otherwise a quiet week. I hope to get Unforgettable You on audiobook. I’ve been listening to the Silver Springs ones. I’ve just had Courting Darkness brought to my attention. Robin loves that series.
Ugh! Hopefully we’ll both sleep well this coming week, Anne!
I love the Silver Spring series, and I hope you’ll get Unforgettable You on audio, too!
I love the series Courting Darkness comes from – and I’m really excited about reading it! Have a great week, Anne!

Tough week for me too! I hope you can get some sleep this week though 🙂
Thanks Evelina, I really hope so, too. It’s no fun feeling tired and dragging all the time.
Robin LaFevers is an author that I often think I should get hold of – and that cover is just gorgeous… So sorry you are struggling with sleep, it’s a miserable business and I hope it’s only a quick blip:). I hope you have a more restful week, Lexxie.
I have had my eye on Courting Darkness but I am still not sure yet. I need to see more friend reviews before I will grab it.
Sorry you are not getting a lot of sleep, the weekend has given you a recharge.
Hope this week is better for you Lexxie! I really do miss you lots and lots! Have a great week and Happy Reading! xoxoxox
It’s hard to function with so little sleep. Hope you catch up!
Oh, I want the Elle Kennedy! Glad to see Free by KA was a hit. It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a KA. Happy reading! 🙂
Hope you are able to get some sleep this week. Not being able to sleep makes for a VERY long week.
I hope you get some much needed sleep. Nice looking haul of books this week. Lexxie:) And I think dogs like to toy with us. Keep us guessing. LOL
My Sunday Post
The Risk sounds so good! I like Elle Kennedy’s books.
Fingers crossed the sleep settles and you get some decent rest this week!
I hope you’re able to catch up on sleep! It looks like you have a lot of good reading ahead of you.
Freddy and Hercules are so darn adorable! Sorry you have been so busy at work, I hope it slows down a bit. I just got Robin Lafevers book also. I hope we both love it! I hope you have a great week ahead!

Your dogs are adorable – I always love when you post photos of them. Sorry you’re having trouble sleeping. I can relate. I’ve been awake in the middle of the night for at least an hour or two every night for the last two weeks. Here’s hoping whatever’s keeping each of us awake gives us a break soon.

I really need to grab Courting Darkness, but own and still need to read book three!
Oh my gosh, Kim! I loved that whole trilogy so much! How have you been able to hold off on reading the third?
