You know what I don't like? Macbooks. My school just switched from Lenovo tablets to Macbooks, and it's messing up all of our Microsoft-run brains. Plus some sites (Book Depository!) are blocked even at home, and this morning I found that, though I don't go to school on Fridays, they can still block Facebook and Twitter during school hours. But...Macbooks have built-in cameras, so now I can make VLOGS!
There will probably not be a vlog with my IMM post every week, but this week's special and I can put all of my rambling about what books I received in the vlog instead of in little type underneath titles! Yay for better organization!
Don't quote me on any of the random things I said about books/dystopias/publishers.
The sequel to The Diary of Pelly D is Cherry Heaven, not Blossom.
If you don't want to watch the video, here's what came in my mailbox this week:
Won:
Divergent by Veronica Roth (thanks, She Known as Jess!)

Juliet by Anne Fortier (thanks, Random House!)

Short poll: Did you actually watch the vlog? Did you watch it all the way through, or just a little of it? Please answer in comments. :)
Divergent is fantastic, I'm sure you're going to love it! I really enjoyed it, and can't wait for the second book in the series.

ReplyDeleteLol, Holly, I've never realized that!
ReplyDeleteWow. I love the mix of books in your IMM. I'm adding some of the magic realism and Dystopian books to my TBR list. I've been meaning to read Exodus by Julie Bertagna for ages.
