Stacking the Shelves (1)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature over at Tynga's Reviews which allows us all to drool with one another over any books that have been added  to our bookshelves both physically and virtually!

I did have a HUGE two paragraphs written up here, but my Blogger isn't letting me scroll down or anything so I can't see what I'm doing :( I've decided to do my VERY FIRST VLOG! PLEASE excuse the dodgy quality/rambling/not making any sense. I was a little nervous and didn't really know what to say. Also, sorry Brodie for not pronouncing your blog name right, I can pronounce it, just not on camera apparently hahaha!


Let me know what you reckon ;)

  1. EEEEEEEEEEK. <3

    Loved your vlog! Though as you know from my comments on Twitter I am SHOCKED that you're able to wear just a singlet where you are! IT'S SO COLD DOWN HERE IN MELBOURNE. I'm completely rugged up right now. Pah.

    EVERNEATH. STARTERS. Gawd I need to get those books. *facepalm* They sound absolutely AMAZING! And YAY for you getting Storm! I already have my copy but I haven't been able to read it yet because it ws actually a BIRTHDAY present and so I can't get it until the end of June. :P

    AWESOME BUYS M'DEAR. Congrats again on the end of your book buying ban! <3

    1. Hahaha aww thankyou :D Hopefully my next one will feature less mumbling and whatnot haha! Well, it was actually fairly warm today and it's freezing outside but warm in my bedroom :D hahahaa!

      YOU NEED TO GET THEM! As I said in the video, they just *feel* so nice, and well, they do sound amazing :)

    2. Damnn you! My heater never seems to be working properly! I mean, yes it IS warmer inside than outside but ITS STILL COLD. *mumble grumble*

      Oh god. Stroking books. I just like to grab books out of my shelves and just stroke them. *sigh*

    3. Hahaha! :D I think it's because my room has been shut up all day so all the heat has stayed locked in :)
      Ohh, yeah I do that too <3 I got lots of strange looks today on the bus because I was just sitting there admiring my new books hahaha!

  4. Hehehe you are ADORKABLE <3 And SURE you're a little bit weird (we all are, it's cool), but you're the kind of weird that is compelling and you want to see MORE of. Embrace it :D LOL the sad thing is, I'd probably pronounce my blog name wrong if I said it aloud too *does not try for fear of embarrassing self* SO excited to see what you think of Storm!!! <3

    Yay for Everneath and Starters! Everneath is AWESOME, I so loved it. I totally agree about Starters, it's WAY prettier in person than online. I LOVE IT. Sadly I wasn't really into the story and stopped during a book slump, but I really hope you love it!

    Your first attempt at a vlog? SUCCESS! Flaunt your sexy more often ;)

  8. This is adorable! I'm so glad you decided to start doing vlogs. I keep meaning to venture into the vlog world as well, but every time I think about doing one I'm usually sleepy eyed with messy hair and no make-up, and I'd like to spare all of you that! Lol.

    By the way, I have to second what Vicky said. I love your voice! I've always wondered what people think of American accents, considering how most of my American friends love to hear people from other countries speak! Lol.

    I need to read Everneath as well. I got a copy awhile back, but just haven't gotten around to it yet!

  10. Wow. That was an experience. *shock face* ;D AWESOME FIST VLOG! I always wondered what your voice sounded like...and now I know. CRAP. I didn't mean for that to sound so stalkerish.. WHOOPS *runs away*

    Storm is awesome! Beware: Chris is taken by Becca (mwha)

    EVERNEATH. OH MY GOLLYWOGS! I was interested in it but I wasn't overly anticipating it. It was a book I was looking forward to reading, but wasn't in a rush to get to. I received it for review and it was my first ever and it was EXCITING! I struggled in the beginning and was a bit confused with it all and I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to get into it. *sad face* But then something just CLICKED and it turned EPIC. I FREAKING LOVED IT. AMAZING. MIND = BLOWN! Fun :) DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON JACK. *swoon* He is SO sweet and so beautiful, I was literally squealing. I kid you not. Luckily, the rents were out because I was making these messed up, squealing, squeaking sounds. -__- bahaaha!

    Looking forward to your next vlog so I can see your pretty face again! <33 You = adorable! *huggles*

  11. AWESOME first vlog! Your accent is SO lovely. :)

    Starters was a really really great read. Hope you enjoy everything! :)

    Happy reading!

  12. Hi Taneika! It's my first time here, but I would say you did well with your vlog. But I think most Americans are going to be a little entranced with your accent, so it's hard to go wrong ;)

    I listened to Everneath and I was completely sucked in. Have yet to write my review but it's on the list... I can't wait to hear what you think!
