{The Weekend Update} 4.23.16 - It's Hammock Time

So, since my end-of-the-week post isn't just about what I got in my mailbox or on my Kindle each week -- though that is a big part of it, I won't lie -- I decided to change up the title and intro a bit.  I might tweak the format a bit over the next few weeks, but for the most part, it'll contain the same stuff: stuff I got, stuff I did, and stuff that's coming up on the blog.  Plus, I get to use the awesome GIF you see here and blow kisses to all the people who sent me lovely books and bookish things.  Oh, and I've started linking up to Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews since I'm not using a specific meme title anymore.  April's also doing her own Stacking the Shelves posts on Sundays.  Stop by and say hi!  =)

What a long, rainy week! I'm so glad it's finally over and that we're supposed to have absolutely lovely weather this weekend! Perfect for reading in the hammock! =D

We're gearing up to celebrate our 5th blogiversary here at The Starry-Eyed Revue, but after five years, it's hard to think up new ways to do that. What do you like to see? Giveaways? Posts looking back? Do you even care? ;0)

Okay, okay. On to the books. Here's what I scored this week...

From Publishers:



Thanks to PenguinTeen for this seriously awesome The Last Star promo package featuring a poster, chapter excerpt and tote bag! I AM THE BATTLEFIELD!!!! :D :D :D

Traded:

Look for a new #booksfortrade | Have You Seen This? post soon! I'm still looking for a few high profile ARCs, like Throne of Glass, The Near Witch, and Scarlet (Gaughen), plus some other 2016 releases.

Library:

Still missing the use of the library. Still whining about it. Some of you have indicated that you see nothing wrong with sharing a library card, so I think my sis is going to let me use hers. But it's expired, too, and she has to physically go to the library to renew it, so it might be awhile. :( Still, there's hope...


So, that's my haul. =) What fabulous bookmail did you get this week?

Currently Reading:

I want to be reading about a different Blue this weekend, but I already pre-ordered a signed copy and the audiobook and just cannot justify getting a copy from B&N, even if they do have it out days early. Bastards. So, I will just avoid the internets as much as possible until Tuesday so no asshole spoils me. Because I will murder the person who ruins that ending for me. MURDER. So, yeah, I'm reading this instead. =D




Currently Listening:

I've seen a lot of people just discovering this book for the first time, and it made me want to re-read/listen to it. So, here I am, listening again...and wishing I had Blood for Blood in my hands already.
