New Vlog Project!
March 8, 2009I think you guys know how much I enjoy making videos from the vlogs I’ve made on my personal Youtube channel http://youtube.com/user/vanessathebutterfly. So when Sarah asked me if I was interested of course I said yes! (After a squeal, though.) Now the day is near…. tomorrow, March 9th, is the day we start. I’m Sunday, so my video will be up March 15th.
We are book bloggers, YA Book Bloggers to be exact. Our love of books is what has brought our friendship together from all over the US. One day, we thought it would be fun to do a Five Awesome Girl Channel mixed in with books and our lives. We hope you enjoy our antactics, rants, and pure randomness.
The schedule looks like this:
Monday- Sarah from http://sarahbear9789.blogspot.com/
Tuesday- Sharon from http://sharonlovesbooksandcats.blogspot.com/
Wednesday- James from http://Myspace.com/bookchicclub
Thursday- Shalonda from http://shalondasblog.blogspot.com/
Friday- Hope from http://princess2293.blogspot.com/
Saturday- Zoe from http://booksaregolden.blogspot.com/
Sunday- Vanessa from https://whatvanessareads.wordpress.com/
The vlog channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/Sevenbookbabes!

Also, my 100+ Reading Challenge for 2009 starts today. I got kind of mad at myself for starting Shelter Me (I’m 40 pages in) before the year started, because I can’t use it for the challenge. But I started Living Dead Girl today and I’m almost done. All the books I read this year will be given at this page –> https://whatvanessareads.wordpress.com/the-2009-100-reading-challenge/
A Blogger Chat: Yay or Nay?
December 30, 2008
Hello everyone!
I got the following idea because of The Page Flipper‘s Author Chats (which are awesome and you should check out). I have been thinking about holding a book blogger chat. It would involve basically any book blogger (or author, if they’d like to join us) in the YA world who would like to chat about whatever they’d like: books, music, TV, movies. It could be a cool way for us to ditch the robotized reviews to have a real-time talk and make friends with each other (or rather, make better friends).
It would be held on a chat site like chatzy or chatmaker at 8 pm eastern time one day between Jan. 5 and 11.
What I would like is if you could give me feedback on this, commenting which day from January 5 to the 11 is the best day for you to chat.
I really hope you guys like this idea. Leave all your thoughts in the comments!
Merry Christmas to all!

Be safe and readdd all you can!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
