With the Weekly Book Wrap-Up, I give you a bit of an insight into all the new books that have arrived at my place. No matter if I won a giveaway, got approved for a reviewer´s copy, an ARC, or just bought one myself. Everything that I add to my shelves, in what way ever and read during the past week or am still reading, I will write about it. And maybe I tell you a bit about the upcoming things on Inkvotary, that is if I don´t forget it and have something to share with you *smile*
I am linking up with Tynga´s Reviews and Caffeinated Reviewer and hope you´ll have fun reading it and maybe get the one or the other book inspiration.
Stacking The Shelves #55
Thanks to Fischer Sauerländer, a German publisher, I had The Tale of Shikanoko – Lord of the Darkwood by Lian Hearn in the mail. A great surprise that made me very happy.
Review Copy
I bought Hardline by Meredith Wild and Roar by Cora Carmack. Couldn´t resist since they both were on sale *smile* If you like, you can read my Roar-review here.

Sunday Post #12
Well, well, turns out the past week was, so far, the worst I had since the year has started. My two books from Canada got lost between Ontario and Germany, so no happy feelings there. Sure, I got my money back, but I would´ve rather gotten the hardcovers. Lesson learned.
This morning I went outside for a long walk. The weather is beautiful. Freezing air, bright sunshine, and a clear sky. It was fantastic! I went on the route along our small river, watched some mallard ducks and blackbirds having fun in the sun. Seems like we are all enjoying the springlike day before the cold winds from Russia will kick in and bring us temperatures below zero. Guess the snowdrops that are already blooming in our garden will be withered by then.

Upcoming Reviews
I will post my reviews in random order. So, the way the covers are shown in this post aren´t carved in stone *smile* Just saying in case you might wonder when you see them get posted ...
Happy reading
Aw sorry to heart about the missing books! The Tale of Shikanoko looks interesting...
ReplyDeleteRoar has been on my maybe list, but I kinda do wanna read it!
Yap, I am sorry too. Shit happens. I liked Roar. It was not the usual stuff, though it reminded me of another book. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAww, I wish the fine weather stays a little longer for you guys :) I don't like winters so I can understand how you people feel :( but atleast we have books to keep us warm? :D Your new books look good. I have heard good things about Roar. I hope you enjoy all of your new book. Have a lovely weekend!

DeleteRoar was a book I meant to get last year but somehow never ended up purchasing it....Hope you love it! My Shelf
ReplyDeleteIt took me some months to get it. In the meantime I read the German edition. It was a wonderful read. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteBuns is a fun cover. Bummer your books were lost in the mail. Seems like everyone is have unusual weather this time of year. We are too.

DeleteSorry your books got lost, but at least the walk was nice. It’s so cold here! I sometimes dread walking the dogs because my hands freeze. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!

DeleteAwww man. I'm sorry your books got lost. I've had that happen before. It sucks!!

Brittani @ Hope, Faith & Books
I saw it and it made me smile! Thank you!! And thanks for your visit.
DeleteI envy spring weather! We have -17C and a loooooot of snow x.x
ReplyDeleteSome areas here do have snow too. And with -16 below zero at night and around -10 during the day it is for sure winter *smile* But the sun is shining *sigh* Thanks for stopping by, Evelina.
DeleteI am sorry about those lost books. I just stalked you a little bit and I am so excited to meet a German. Looks like book blogging will me find friends all over the world.
ReplyDeleteGayathri @ Elgee Writes
Well, I am actually an Austrian girl *smile* who happens to have to countries she can call home. Oh yes, book blogging is one of the best ways to find friends with the same passion all over the world. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteSo sorry for the lost books! But nice to hear about the lovely weather.
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect for long walks outside. The air is great! Thanks for visiting my blog.
DeleteYour walk sounds beautiful! We had some great Spring weather before the rain hit this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful walk. I enjoyed being outside very much. Thank you for your visit.
DeleteThis week we had a strange thing happen. A teacher at my school needed to borrow a book from a school on the other side of the district. The librarian sent it, but somehow it got rerouted back to the original library. Frustrating.

Sometimes such weird things happen. It is sad. But, okay, can´t do much about it. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteAlice Clayton's book are always a lot of fun. I haven't read Buns, but I loved the Cocktail series. You would think in 2018, that one would be able to efficiently receive their mail. Sorry about your books.
ReplyDeleteI laughed tears while reading her Cocktail series. Though I think the first book was the best. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteI hate when my books get lost. It really makes me mad but, I guess it's a part of life. But it's a bummer. I can't wait for winter to be over. I hope you have a great week of reading!
ReplyDeleteMary #SundayRoundup #7
Same feelings here *smile* Thanks for your visit.
DeleteI have Roar but haven't started it yet. I've heard it's crazy centered on romance and I don't know if I can handle that. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts though.
ReplyDeleteHi, I already read it and you can read my thoughts about it, when you click the link "here" right beside the "Roar-review" below the cover *smile* Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSorry to hear about the lost books. The weather sound amazing though. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is still fantastic. Freezing cold, but the sunshine - perfect! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI absolutely hate when books I have sent to me get lost! I hope that doesn't happen again!
ReplyDeleteTori @ In Tori Lex
Same here. Well, guess someone else is now having fun with them... Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteRoar is definitely going on my tbr.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading it *smile*
DeleteA lot of people loved Roar. I love the cover! We had a couple of springlike days here, too. I was sad to see them go and now we are getting a big snow storm. Ha ha. crazy weather. I hope your week was better this time. :)
ReplyDeleteYea, the cover is gorgeous. And live in my hands even prettier! Oh boy, we are expecting heavy snowfall tonight too. I WANT SPRING!! *lol* Thanks for your visit.
