In My Mailbox (4): Vlog #1

So, this is my first vlog In My Mailbox... please don't laugh at me :).  I don't think I actually sound like this in real life, but if it's in the video, I guess it's true.  I just ordered a tripod for my phone so I can make videos with better quality (shh, don't tell my mom I spent any more money... hi mom).  The tripod is for educational purposes too though I swear.  I have to record two speeches this semester and this webcam quality video sucks.  Anyway, I'm going to go back through tomorrow and put in links to the blogs I won things from and links for the book descriptions.

  1. Just realized I need a new Video Editing software, this one's captions suck. If anyone knows any FREE (because I'm broke), LEGAL (because, you know... illegal is bad), BASIC (because I am not that good at this editing thing) video editing software for PCs (I think I want something close to iMovie, but I need a Mac for that... one more reason I need a Mac I know). Anyway, leave a comment or email me, or tweet me if you know a good program :)

  2. Wow! You're really lucky when it comes to giveaways, I on the other hand haven't that much luck.. Ha! ha! I loved The Iron Queen; and although they didn't land on my top favorites, XVI and Firelight are books that I enjoyed reading. I just got Fury this week and I'm excited to start on it.

    Great books! Happy reading!

  3. That is a crazy long list with some pretty amazing titles. Fury has been on my radar forever, but just haven't gotten to it yet. I enjoyed your first vlog. WTG! I have to do video.

  4. @Janus: I'm glad you enjoyed XVI & Firelight, I'm so excited to start them!

    @Katie/Stephanie (not sure which one lol): Thanks!! I actually enjoyed the video, I definitely think I'm going to use them from now on, easier to show covers vs. adding all the pictures to the post with just a list. :) I plan on doing more once I'm off my Buying Ban.

  5. Hey! I just came across your blog (cool set-up by the way) and was watching your video. Rumours is the second in the Luxe series. The girl with the pink dress on the cover is the first, it's just called The Luxe and there are four books in the series all together. It's a great series, very realistic. I literally couldn't put them down. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

I love comments! They make me super happy, I read all of them and try to respond to most of them!

This is now an award free blog, I'm super flattered to be chosen for awards, but I can't find time to complete the requirements to pass them on. Thanks!
