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 #278
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, and I feel like I’ve been very good!
The Sunday Post #228 – 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 windy – even I could almost fly away (see what I did there?). On Tuesday night, Mr. Lex and I went to see Lenny Kravitz in concert, and it was truly awesome. He played a lot of ‘old’ hits, and we were in the groove for over two and a half hours while he was singing for us 🙂

The cover for a five minute life is SO pretty!! Fuck mariage is kind of interesting me there… makes me wonder what that is about.
Love love love to see the pups in action xx and hopefully you’ve enjoyed the concert to the fullest! i still haven’t gotten the chance to see much anyone in concert yet ?
That book, though… I always get so very emotional when I read something by Emma Scott, and this was no exception!
The concert was awesome! Lenny is definitely good on scene – he even went out into the crowd, danced through everywhere and went up to the seated section and danced with some people up there 😀
Ooh Lenny Kravitz… now I’m listening to Are You Gonna Go My Way. Nice… 🙂
Glad I could help, Greg 😀
Thanks so much for mentioning my post!
My pleasure 🙂
I’m very envious that you saw Lenny Kravitz in concert this week! I’m so pleased that you had such a good time.
I’m really drawn to A Five Minute Life as the cover is so pretty! I hope you enjoy reading it. 🙂
I love going to concerts, and my husband I prefer doing that for a date, rather than ‘just’ going to a restaurant or to see a movie 🙂
I already read A Five Minute Life, and it was so good! Have a great weekend Hayley!
Aww I’m glad you both enjoyed the concert! And I so need to pick up F*ck Love and F*ck Marriage!
Genesis @ Whispering Chapters
It was a great concert, Gen. And yeah, if you haven’t read F*ck Love yet, you really need to!
Enjoy your weekend:)
I have’t been to a concert for a long time. I would love to see Imagine Dragons in concert. Glad you had a good time.
Imagine Dragons is a band I’d love to see if they ever come to my neck of the woods! 🙂
Wow! Lenny still looks great. I really appreciate his career longevity. I am on the waitlist at the library for the Aurora Rising audiobook. I heard how amazing the Illuminae Files audiobooks were, and really want to listen vs. read AR.
I agree! He really does! (He’s my joker…)
I hope you’ll get Aurora Rising soon 🙂 Enjoy the week ahead.
Oh the concert looks fun! I might check out Aurora Rising on audio too. Love the puppy pic. Have a great week !
It sure was, Grace 🙂 Have a great week yourself!
Ooh, a concert is always a treat. And so are your new books. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I agree – concerts are great 🙂 And as my husband and I usually enjoy the same kind of music, we try to go to at least one or two every year 🙂
I didn’t even know Lenny Kravitz is still around, Fly Away was a favourite when I was younger.I think I’ll be adding F*ck marriage to my wishlist,
Have a great reading week
Lenny is still going strong! And he actually did play Fly Away on Tuesday – it was partly why I loved it so much – he played a lot of his older hits, even while including songs from his new album, too.
F*ck Marriage was good, I hope you’ll get your hands on it soon.
Fuck marriage makes me intrigued. It has been a while since I attended concerts, and you make me yearn one. I hope you have a great week ahead.
It was rather good – even if I didn’t fully connect with the main female character, Gayathri. I love going to concerts – the energy and the atmosphere always get to me 🙂
That is so cool that you saw Lenny Kravitz in concert! have a great week!
It was so good, Cynthia!
Glad you had such fun enjoying the concert – it’s a lovely trip down memory lane listening to songs from the past… Hope the wind dies down during the coming week – I hate it when it’s dry and windy, it means I have to break out the watering can…
True, songs can bring out so many memories about a period or a specific moment 🙂
The wind has stopped, and so far, we haven’t gotten any of the rain that was promised for the weekend.
Then I hope you managed to enjoy the weekend without wind OR rain:)). I hope you have a lovely week, Lexxie.
I saw Kravitz in concert in 99! He puts on a good show!
This was my fourth Kravitz concert, and I loved it just as much as the earlier ones! He does put on a good show.
Lexxie it must have been fantastic going to his concert! I bet the hall was packed 😉
It was so good, Sophie! And yes, it was pretty full – but everyone was filled with joy, and that just made everything even better 🙂
I am glad you both enjoyed the concert. You look like you were so close!
I love your puppies! <3
F*ck Marriage looks so good but I am not sure I will like her stories, can you believe I still haven't read one of her books!
Have a great week, Lexxie! Happy Reading! xox Miss you!
We were rather close, but not all the way in the front. It was great, though, because we had enough room to dance a little 🙂
Her books are not for everyone, that’s for sure. They are pretty dark, and the characters can be quite unlikeable…
Miss you too, Michelle! xoxo
Now I’ve got fly away blasting around my head! Lol! 5 minute life, fuck marriage and Aurora rising have been popping up a bit recently and I’m looking forward to reading your reviews.
YAY! I want to get away, I want to fly away, yeah, yeah, yeah…
I’ll do my best ro review 5 Minute Life quickly, F*ck Marriage is up next week, Flora 🙂
That sounds like a heck of a concert! Sounds awesome. 🙂
Fuck Marriage is definitely intriguing! So glad you had a good time at the concert! It sounds like a lot of fun! Have a great week!
F*ck Marriage was a good story, even if I didn’t love everything about it.
