Eleni great vlog! I've been thinking about making one too, but I am unsure. Also, were you nervous while making this? You messed with your hair alot. I do that when I am nervous. LOL And such great books! I am so waiting for Wake Unto Me! Have a great weekend :)

Hey Savannah - Damn I guess touching my hair a lot gave my nerves away hehe. I think I cover it up well though ;) But, yes nice observation love!
Girl, your thought bubbles completely cracked me up!
I love it when you do vlogs! You're so cute! Thanks for the shout out you good blogger friend! :P :D
Great books Eleni, I hope you enjoy them! :) I loved the comment in your vlog about how you don't read adult books even though you are one. The way you said it made me laugh haha. And I can relate as well. ;)
Can't wait to see your review for Matched!! :D
I just got Matched in the mail yesterday and can't wait to read it! I started it last night but only got to page 10 before my eyes wouldn't cooperate.
I, too, just recently got Sea and can't wait to read it!
Nice stash you got this week! Hope you get to them all soon :)
Wow, that is a ton of information. And not a chance in hell I'm allowing video of myself on the internet. Don't want to scare people.
Great books!!! Wake Unto Me is on my tbr pile!! Can't wait to read your reviews on those great books!!
Hi Eleni,

Great mailbox! I'm really excited to read Matched and Immortal Beloved too. I can't wait to hear what you think of them! Also, YES THE CA trailer is AMAZEBALLS!!! I love the "Holy water & blood" quote! I've read it, but I still cannot wait for it to come out.
Happy reading!

Eleni, that was a great vlog! I find it randomly funny that we both "received/bought" The Night My Sister Went Missing this week! Love your mailbox! I hope you enjoy all of the books you received this week, and love the fact that you made Sherry do a vlog too! ;) Happy reading!! :D
Matched & Sea looks great. :D Hope you enjoy them both. I must make a personal note to go and buy myself a copy! I have no idea why I don't have one yet... it's SO pretty, and I love its premise!
Great books this week! I think I need to break down and buy Sea. It keeps popping up everywhere.
Great mailbox! My IMM Birthday Edition is here.
