  1. Awww thank you so much!! I love you so much too :) You are also one of my favorite blogger buds. I am so glad you got your book!

    I really appreciate all the nice things you said about me. Teared me up. I don't think that's ever happened to me before. It means a lot to me. Now that I am moved in again, I can get back to my blogging.

    Also, I liked This is Not a Test. It was really good. Not my FAVORITE zombie book ever, but it's in the top ten. Also got an arc of Once. I hope it's better than EVE. I only gave that 3 stars.

    I like ALL KINDS of giveaways. :)

    1. Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I was really tired when I recorded this in the sort of slaphappy way, but I just let the video go.

      *HUGS* You are so awesome, and I'm glad you'll be back full time! Woo!

      I really loved This Is Not a Test. It grew on me over time. Of course, I really like the YA books that make me want to sob my eyes out.

      Noted.

      I'm digging the books I received too, and I am super stoked about Between You & Me. It sounds so original, and lgbt too!

      I'm glad I'm back too. SO MUCH FAMILY. I need to recuperate and to catch up on my book challenge.

    1. Winning is totally awesome! Like Kara!

      My cat is...intense. That's a good word. He was super hyped up last night because he was alone all weekend, so he was flipping out that I was finally back to give him all of the attention.

  4. I'm reading This Is Not a Test right now and loving every second of it! It is so dark and twisted and unusual - exactly my kind of thing. I'll be back to read your review after I finish the book - I can't wait to compare notes.
    HAppy reading!

    1. Ooooh, please do! I would love to discuss. My review's not perfect for it sadly. I did a top ten list recently on reviews I wish I could redo and that was number one. Oh well!

  5. It's your face! Yay for being back from good ol' Pittsburgh, and I'm super amused that Percy is being such a spaz in this video. haha.

    As for giveaways, I think I'm more partial to all of the giveaways ever, just because it'll give more people a chance to win :)

    1. He was being so damn spazzy. I probably should have rerecorded it, but I was too lazy. He was all het up because I'd just gotten home. Lonely cat was lonely! Jordan does not suffice for attentions!

      Hmmm, I will lean towards more giveaways, but I think I'll make some prize packs too, just to cut down on shipping costs a bit. This thing is going to be pretty massive!
