Book Chat: Bookish Gratitude

Hey it's a vlog! It takes a long time to film and edit these, and I'm usually short on time, so I've been opting for written posts instead of video. But it's the day before Thanksgiving and I have some time on my hands. This month's book chat, courtesy of Misty at The Book Rat, is on thankfulness.

What bookish things are you thankful for?

Book Chat: Design Elements

I know I'm super late, but this is a response to Misty's April book chat about design elements, the little touches in the design of a book that add that little extra something. I apologize for the bad lighting and sound for this video. New location and I don't think my camera liked being that close to the modem. Or it's trying to die on me. And I didn't realize I looked so ticked off at the end of the video. Sorry about that.

Books Mentioned:

Steel--Carrie Vaughn

Splintered--A.G. Howard

Heist Society--Ally Carter

Strands of Bronze and Gold--Jane Nickerson

Entwined--Heather Dixon

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate--Jacqueline Kelly

For my first expedition into the world of vlogging and booktube I'm responding to Misty at The Book Rat and her September Book Chat. This month's chat is all about books that we wish we had read when we were younger, for whatever reason.
