July Book Loot

Posted by on
OMG, Bonnie is posting a video the same day she recorded it? The world must have ended!!! Maybe this is a sign that I can keep this speed up in the future… Then again… *guilty eyes* I’ll have a second July post…um, hopefully within the next week. This time with purchased copies or gifts (since I received a few books for my birthday last month…) Maybe I should try something more traditional like IMM. The vlogs would definitely be shorter…but I have trouble getting up what I have now, so idk…

    Maybe, since you are trying to figure out how often to do these loot videos, you could do them every time you get X number of books. So, every 10/15/20 or something like that. ;)

    (Oh, also, Charlotte's Web is also a Newbery :P although it is an Honor, not a Winner. :) )

    @Ashley: Hmm, that might be a good idea! :) Is it? I wasn't sure. I asked a couple people at work and nobody thought so. I forget to check to see if it had a silver seal or not before making the video. Thanks!

    @Darcus: Wow, thank you so much! That's very kind. And congrats to you :)

    @Chelsea: Yay us!! We should read it together and discuss, lol. I wish you had gotten WILDWOOD too...!

    @small Review: I'm hoping it will be good! I hadn't even heard of it!
