IMM VLOG!! (1)
As always a big thank you to the wonderful Kristi from the Story Siren for hosting!
My first ever vlog, which is somewhat (or actually majorly) scary. I SWEAR I'm more articulate usually, but this was so exciting I forgot how to.
And I'm sorry to the people whose names I pronounced and massacred. Names and I don't go so well together apparantly.
Oh, and tell me, does my accent suck really bad?

Wow, you made out like a bandit on the NetGalley titles! And congrats on your wins, I really enjoyed Die for Me and can't wait to read A Need So Beautiful:)
ReplyDeletehahah I was worried for a bit that you went Netgalley crazy...until you mentioned it was 2 months worth ;) I've heard great things about A Need So Beautiful! Have you read Johnathon Strange yet? That is one book I couldn't force myself to finish :(
ReplyDelete@Jenny - I KNOW! NetGalley is so bad for my to-read list...
ReplyDelete@Mel - haha, I *do* go a bit NetGalley crazy every now and then :) I haven't read it yet, I'm a bit sad to hear you didn't like it! It's supposed to be a fantasy classic, so I thought I should read it sometime...
That's a pretty great haul of books. :) I got crazy on NG and GG sometimes, too--I think we all do.
ReplyDeleteDie For Me, sounds really good. It's been out for a while, and I've been wanting to read it. But I just haven't found the time! So many books and so little time:/

Yayyy I'm so excited for your first vlog! I love it! (And I like your accent, it doesn't suck, lol. American accents are boring.)
ReplyDeleteSome awesome books you got lately! So far Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is in the lead, so as long as that doesn't change tonight then I'll be starting it soon!
