{The Weekend Update} 9.17.16 - A Week Away to Set the Books Astray

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 time, 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 and Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer since I'm not using a specific meme title anymore.

I spent my week sorting books and packing books and shipping books, so not a lot else got done, blog-wise. I'm out of shipping supplies at the moment, though, so maybe I can get some stuff done this weekend. I'll probably post an updated version of my #booksfortrade | you pay shipping post to show what's still available tomorrow, but hopefully it won't be the pandemonium that last Sunday's post caused.

I've still been reading, though I've mostly been listening to regency romances again. I can't help it. My library won't add any new YA titles, so I've been left to my own devices, which means perusing other sectors of the library that I don't frequent all that much. It's really helping me reach my Goodreads goal, though:

Almost there! :D

Anyway, here's what I scored this week...

From Publishers/For Review:

After all the new reads I got last week, I am happy to report that I didn't get anything new this week. Though, that doesn't mean that I didn't request any nor that I wasn't offered anything, lol.

Traded:

Nothing new this week, but I have a few pending. :) Check out the tweets below or this post for further details.


Library:

Ruined (Ruined, #1)A Rogue by Any Other Name (The Rules of Scoundrels, #1)One Good Earl Deserves a Lover (The Rules of Scoundrels, #2)A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove, #1)A Week to Be Wicked (Spindle Cove, #2)



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

Currently Reading:

HeartlessI'm seriously just starting this -- I've been holding off as long as I can but now I'm on the tour and I'm finally letting myself dive in -- so I don't know how it's going to go at all. But I'm really hoping that Cath is reminiscent of Anastasia from OUATIW and starts off sweet and turns, yet somehow still remains a sympathetic character. Either way, I know Marissa Meyer will not disappoint.




Currently Listening:

A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove, #1)So, I've gone through all of the Sarah MacLean novels my library has on audio and now I'm back to Tessa Dare. I loved her Castles Ever After series, so I'm sure this one won't be any different. And I'm actually going to read the books in the right order this time! :D
