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 #282
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:
The Sunday Post #222 – 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.
My students had their very last oral exams on Tuesday this week, and I’m probably as happy as they are that it’s over. Only a few days of meetings next week, and I’m off to Spain for a month. I can hardly wait – it’s been a long and stressful school year, that’s for sure.
We had a party for three of my colleagues who are retiring next week, and the sunset was so beautiful I just had to share it:

That is a beautiful sunset! And yay for Spain! Hope you have an awesome trip. Sounds fabulous. 🙂
I can’t wait for Thursday to arrive, Greg. Getting out of Geneva where it’s hot and humid is the only thing I can think of right now 🙂
I need to read something by Geneva Lee! And I need that Devney book! That sunset is beautiful! Enjoy Spain 🙂
Genesis @ Whispering Chapters
The Devney book was really good, Gen. I love her writing so much!
Yay for one week left, a gorgeous sunset and a month in Spain! Parental Guidance looks fun.
The dogs look happy to be outside for their walk. 🙂
One more week, Lexxie!!! 🙂
I know! This year has been long and busy 🙂
Parental Guidance looks fun. I will be keeping an eye out for your review. I hope you have an incredible time in Spain. You earned it! And, thank you for sharing my post. XOXO
I think it’s going to be a fun one, Avery Flynn is really good at humor 🙂
My pleasure, Sam, I loved your post!
Great post! Congratulations on the end of another school year. Mine finished a few weeks ago, but I will be going back to work in July. Have a lovely time in Spain.
Does that mean you are going to teach summer school, or just that your school year has a long break a different part of the year than us in Switzerland?
I hope you enjoy Spain! It’s a beautiful country. I got some amazing hauls this week too. Have a great week!
I love Spain in the summer Anne 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.

Congrats on wrapping up the semester, I KNOW how you feel about being as happy (if not more so!) than the kids! A month in Spain sounds blissful, wish I could join you ? but soon I’ll see you here in Texas!! Yay!! Can’t wait. Big hugs ????
I actually think the teachers are happier than the kids this year – it’s been a very long one!
I know! In less than two months, I’ll be able to hug you <3
Enjoy your vacation in Spain. You’ve earned it!
It looks like you enjoyed Mrs. Everything as much as I did. Have a great week…and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thank you Laurel-Rain… only a few more days. But it’s going to be SO hot here – in the 100s.
I have Mrs Everything with me too. I need to get that. I am glad your academic year is coming to an end already and you are taking a vacation. I hope you have a great week ahead.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, Gayathri. I found it to be very interesting, in part because it spanned over several decades.
That’s nice! Some interesitng new books for you! Happy reading!
Yes, I am very happy with my haul this week, Melliane.
I’m aware that this has been a long exhausting year for you – so I’m very happy it’s finally coming to an end for you… I have until the middle of July until I can properly put my feet up. I hope the coming week is a nice cruise downhill towards the holidays:)
YAY for Vacation! Glad you can get a break, you had a crazy year.
Enjoy Spain! It sounds gorgeous!
I wish I was going to see you all in Texas this year. You are going to have to much fun!
Have a great week, Lexxie! Miss you lots and lots! <3
Have a wonderful time in Spain!!
Have a fabulous time in Spain! Enjoy all those new books on the playa!
Oh Lexxie I hope you’ll have a fantastic holiday!!!
Enjoy Spain!! I’m insanely excited for you and a little bit jealous! Fingers crossed it is the trip of you dreams and an unforgettable one at that. I’m so curious about Parental Guidance. Plus, I really can’t say no to those cute covers. Swoon.

Have a great week and happy reading!

Week in Review
Spain for a month sounds lovely!
Letters to Molly is on my summer TBR, it looks so good! Will keep an eye out for what you think.

I can’t imagine what it would be like to live somewhere that you can easily go to another country for vacation. So many places that I’ll never get to go. When I was your age though, I traveled all over the U.S. so that was something. Twice to Toronto too. I’m reading High Tide right now as well. Enjoy your week!
Wow! Love that sunset! So pretty!
Good luck with your last week of work. A month off to Spain sounds amazing. My three week vacation is almost done, we’ve been living with my mother in law while waiting for the key to our new home, and my husband has been working.. So I don’t really feel like I had vacation, but I did manage to read a little. 😀
Have a great week and happy reading!
Congrats on the end of exams and going to Spain for a month! I’ve always wanted to travel there! Beautiful Sunset, and I envy your awesome book haul! Happy Reading Lexxie!
