Opening lines: Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

So yeah I'm obviously on a vloll(and yes, my sense of humor is just that great ;)). Today I'm sharing the opening lines from Rachel Hartman's debut novel Seraphina. It is a YA high fantasy with DRAGONS!

What do you guys think about the vlog, the opening lines and so on?

Opening lines: Anne Greenwood Brown

So I had a day where I was devoted to making a couple of vlogs and I thought sharing the opening lines from the novel I'm currently reading would be a great idea. So here I am with my six year old(soon to be seven, that is very important) assistance:

My son has just recently begun to learn Englis in school so he insisted on making an appearance in this vlog ;)

The "In your pants" tag - vlog.

So what is better entertainment on a Friday night than the "In your pants" book tag?!" Never mind that I looked like something the cat had dragged in, I wanted to join the fun now :)

I hope at least one of those titles put a smile on your face.
Do leave a comment and tell me which one was your favorite.

VLOG: The most AWESOME book haul ever!

Y'all know it was BEA last week, right? Well I did not attend myself, but I managed to get myself a little AWESOME BEA book haul anyways.
Want to see what I got?

It came as lightning from bright sky, I did not expect to get anything from BEA since I didn't attend myself. BUT I did have some book blogging friends of mine take the trip from Norway to USA to attend. Both of them brought back some pretty awesome bookish gifts for me and I would like to show you guys what I got.

Really, can it be the most awesome book haul ever?
Yeah, this vlog comes with 100 % awesomsauce guarantee(the books in it)! Except for my awful hairdo and the fact that I look like I'm in the house of mirrors at the beginning of this vlog(feel free to laugh, but please be careful so you don't fall of your chair!), I curse you. Now look past that and check out these brilliant books that I got!

My review of Forbidden by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee.

Now what did you guys think of my book haul? Do I have the best blogging buddies ever or what?

Elin and Ann Kristin
I hope you both realize how grateful I am for these gifts :) To think that you guys gave up precious space in your suitcase to bring me back these lovlies(and maybe books or gifts for your friends and family members as well?)! That is so nice. A million thanks from me to you girls.

 

Vlog(a first): My review pile for April

So I've been thinking about making a vlog for quite some time now, I did one ages ago where I hid behind the camera and just showed my bookshelf or books for an IMM post, I don't even remember. Since so many of you are brave enough to put your face out there, I've decided I can do this as well!

Books mentioned:
The Intern by Dillon Khan, published by Puffin.
Forbidden (The Books of Mortals #1) by Ted Dekker & Tosca Lee, published by Hodder & Stoughton.
White Horse by Alex Adams, published by Atri/Emily Bestler Books(S&S).
The Prophet (Graveyard Queen #3) by Amanda Stevens, published by Mira(Harlequin).

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but the end result didn't turn out that bad, did it? I have serious issues when it comes to speaking English... I blog in English but when I'm in situations where I need to speak English I say as little as possible. The words just keeps getting stuck in my mouth. It's so silly really, I know what I want to say but I just feel so embarrassed that I cannot seem to transport the words from my brain to my mouth. Ok, so I'm not mute but I just hate feeling stupid and it's paralyzing the speaking area of my brain LOL So this is excellent practice and once I've started it can only get better, right?

Now I think I need to learn some video editing but where can I go to learn some easy tricks that makes a vlog a bit more exiting?
