---------------------------

Hey, everyone! I have a huge announcement this week along with my vlog! My cat also joined me because I couldn't get her to go away, even though she disappeared about half way through. I also discovered that I have to film in scenes so that the audio doesn't get messed up, so I hope that doesn't make any awkward pauses, even though I said "alright" and "um" enough to last a lifetime. Anyway, check it out!

I'm a 18 year old from a small town in New Jersey that's a newcomer to the book blogging world. Because I am an incoming senior in high school the closest thing that I have to a job is being a volunteer at the town library, so I spend most of my time reading and persuading my parents to let me buy more books!

  4. Congratulations on the job!!! I got White Cat this week too. I loved On The Island. I sort of think of it as crossover between YA and Adult. I have The Waiting Sky, after hearing what you have to say about it I will have to move it up on my reading list.

    1. I haven't really seen any other reviews for it, so I was a bit slow about deciding to read it. If it's a cross between Ya and adult, I may give it a better chance though.

      Haha and you'll enjoy The Waiting Sky!

  9. Congratulations Lili!!! :D That's really amazing to hear that you've got an amazing job that lets you be around books! :D haha you totally remind me of Tynga with her two kitty cats (shout out to Nikita who isn't afraid of me :P) LOL. The kitty cat behind you looks like she/he believes that their just meant to be in the spotlight, lying down, all relaxed, I can totally imagine it saying "I'm ready for you to take my picture" LOL! okay I'm done lol..

    Great STS vlog, I like how you describe what the books are about in addition to showcasing the books that you received. Can't wait to hear what you think!
