I love how your monthly wrap ups talk about more than the books you've read- it showcases your reviews, the personal posts, and other little tidbits! That's such an awesome layout for a wrap up, and I think I'm going to try and expand my wrap ups to talk about more than just what I'm planning to read and what I've read after seeing this! Also, I love that packaging for The Winner's Curse- that looks so pretty and detailed!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I love doing wrap-ups, so I'm glad you liked this one. And yes, The Winner's Curse is absolutely gorgeous in person.
DeleteBeing Sloane Jacobs is such a Disney channel movie! I really adored it. And I think I discovered Unleashing Mr. Darcy because I was looking through your GoodReads. Hopefully I can get my hands on a copy soon. I'm also really hoping to start The Winner's Curse soon! I've heard great things about it so far.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, you are so cute. Secondly, this is the first vlog of yours that I've watched and I'm looking for to more. I read a copy of Heartbeat last year and really liked it but having read it a while ago and had time to reflect, while it's my favourite book the author, it didn't have a very lasting effect of me. I hope you enjoy thought!
ReplyDelete*favourite book by the author (silly typos)
DeleteYou should be an audiobook narrator, I just decided. PS- you're adorable and I love youuu!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU, CASSIE <3 If I could get paid to be an audiobook narrator, I'd totally go for it. How fun would that be?
DeleteI am seriously so excited for you guys to read Tangled! even though I've read it already, i still want to be in those tweets! so i can stalk you guys' progress. haha. Drew, the MC, is pretty crass in the beginning but he grows on you. i'm interested to see what you guys think! Love the sword and that cover -- so gorgeous! I desperately need to read cinder! on my to-do list of series to read! plus, i've been seeing so many people talk about cress... definitely need to start!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea when we're officially starting though, but I'm game to start reading Tangled right away! It's just sitting on my book pile eyeing me at the moment. It should be an interesting reading experience for me because it's not what I normally read!
DeleteAlso, YES to reading Cinder and the rest of the Lunar Chronicles. That series is absolutely BRILLIANT, and you won't regret giving it a try. Marissa's writing just keeps getting better and better, and her characters are WONDERFUL.
LOOK AT YOUR CUTE FACE!
ReplyDeleteAnd that awesome Hogwarts hoodie.
I die.
YOU ARE SO SWEET <3 (And I am OBSESSED with this hoodie. So glad I splurged on it when it was still a design on Threadless, I believe it was.)
DeleteI just finished A Mad Wicked Folly and seriously omg so good!!! I loved it! My review will be going up on Saturday. Read it soon so we can talk about it! And I'm so jealous that you have The Winner's Curse. I want to read that book soooo badly! Enjoy! Good luck in your job search!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm happy to hear that A Mad Wicked Folly is really good; it's one of the books I've most anticipated reading since I first heard of it. And I will definitely let you know how The Winner's Curse is -- it's got a great premise, and so many people have been loving it, so I hope I do too! Thanks for the well wishes <3
