I don't know about you guys, but I'm loving the nice weather! We've already gone to the zoo and everything. Though there wasn't much there but I saw chickens... yeah... anyways. I've got a bunch of book/blog news to highlight from the past week. First I had the Untouched blog tour come by on Wednesday; I interviewed Jus and you have a chance to win - find it here. Then I had the Until Next Time tour drop by for a hot dream cast - have a look! I also received 2 copies of Revived by Cat Patrick so I'm giving one away here. On my Facebook page I posted the City of Lost Souls book trailer, and The Right & The Real book trailer. Last but not least, I also shared the hot new cover for Losing Lila, the sequel to Hunting Lila (which I loved) that you have to see!

Ook so now on to the books I got for review this week:

How is everyone this Easter weekend? I hope you're having a great long weekend.

And you can still enter my 2000 Followers Giveaway here for those who may have missed it.

I am really excited for my haul this week, beyond words! Ashen Winter is the sequel to one of my favorite books ever - Ashfall. I squeeed for days when I saw it up on Netgalley. Then I got JL Bryan's books which I am super excited to continue after reading the awesomeness that is Jenny Pox. And guess who makes yet another appearance!? Hint: LOVE her face!

Hi guys! *waves* Spring is here I am so happy - it's a BIG deal in Canada! We had awesome weather all week (2 weeks ago it was snowing and this week we had beach weather... yeah). I just hope it lasts. So, HUNGER GAMES!? Did you all see it? I went to the midnight showing and I was blown away! It's honestly the best book to movie I've seen and definitely one that I will watch over and over (which I rarely do). The cast was perfect; every single one of them was just like I pictured and fit the roles perfectly. Really I could go on and on, I was incredibly impressed.

So I've got a couple highlights on the blog to mention this week, first I had a cover reveal for Cataclysm by Karice Bolton which you can see here. I've also got a new giveaway happening for the last book of my favorite series - As the World Dies by Rhiannon Frater - so you obviously have to check it out: enter here.

Here's what I got this week for review (click on cover or title links for Goodreads):

- Radiate by Marley Gibson

- I Hunt Killer by Barry Lyga

*Big thanks to Shannon Eckrich, HarlequinTeen, Thomas Allen & Son and Hachette Canada for the review copies*

I also bought: 

Yep, I continue to stalk Rhiannon because she keeps rocking my face off!

I don't know about you all but I've had a fabulous week. I'm just in an awesome mood for some reason. You know, just all around giddy - I'm sure some may have noticed on Twitter I guess my tweets have been a bit random and full of epicness, and I  LOVE you guys for joining along in my happy dance mood! *ahem* So yeah, did you miss anything awesome this week at Xpresso Reads? Well there was the Channeler's Choice blog tour stop - a series I'm really enjoying and you can maybe win something! There was also a cover reveal with TWO gorgeous new covers - check it out! I still have a bunch of open giveaways too so check out the sidebar to go and enter! Last thing - if you missed it last week, I'm on Formspring now! You can ask me anything you want here: http://www.formspring.me/Giselleco

ARCs I got this week (click on cover or title links for Goodreads):

- The Right & the Real by Joelle Anthony

-The Waiting Sky by Lara Zielin

-The Implosion of Aggie Winchester by Lara Zielin

-Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein

-Black City by Elizabeth Richards

-Siege by Rhiannon Frater (Already read and it's EPIC! See how the cover is all bent - THAT's how intense it was!)

*HUGE thank you to Penguin Books, Rhiannon Frater, Matt Merrick,  St. Martin's Press, Entangled Publishing and Random House for these awesome pretties*

Bought:

Ok so, if you follow my tweets AT ALL, you have to have noticed my borderline psychotic ravings of Rhiannon's As the World Dies series (BLEW my MIND [And my heart!]). Aanyways, I then got out and bought every thing else she's written because I'm a stalker that way. So this section is particularly Rhiannon-esque, and my paperbacks haven't even arrived yet! >.<  

And also because of Rhiannon's rec, I grabbed Jenny Pox which is FREE (here) - a Carrie-like (adult) horror. I'm reading it now and so far it's awesome!

What a freaking epically awesome week!!
