Sticker rage!!!
I'm interested in the vampire hunter book, too, especially since they're turning it into a movie.
OUAC_Stephanie April 8, 2012 at 8:16 pm
I didn't know they were making it into a movie. That just ratcheted my interest considerably!
Amanda April 8, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Went to see The Hunger Games today and saw a trailer for it. The boyfriend said he thought the movie looked interesting and I said it was based off a book. Tim Burton is somehow involved in the production, I believe.

Now that you mention it I remember seeing it too. Guess it didn’t really grab my attention.
Stella_ExLibris April 9, 2012 at 5:31 am
It wasn't bad at all, I enjoyed getting to see you and not just your avatar anymore
Oh I can sympathise with sticker rage, why do they ruin books/notebooks? Those people sure don't read grr :-/
And what a terrific haul, do you have enough bookshelves for all your books or how do you manage? I'm always running out of shelves
Have a lovely Easter!

Thanks Stella! Most of the times BAMs stickers come off pretty easily but that one was fighting me! lol The hubs got it off for me the next morning. He doesn't try to fight my OCD anymore!
I DON'T have enough room for all of my books and it's starting to become worrisome! Thankfully I only get to a real and actual bookstore about once every three or four months.

Your vlog was great! You didn't stutter or fall out of your chair. I probably would have done both. =P
OUAC_Stephanie April 15, 2012 at 12:25 pm
It might have made a for a better vlog if I did fall out of my chair!
Bwahahahaha! I think you probably would have done just fine! It can be nerve wracking the first few times but I think it will get easier with practice and time.
