Woo hoo Stormdancer! I hope you enjoy it :D It's a bit slow in the beginning but push through it and you'll get to the good stuff :) I haven't read any of the other books you've got apart from Ink and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer which I didn't like so much but looking forward to hearing what you think of them :D Great haul Mel!
ReplyDeleteI will keep that in mind :D!
DeleteCongrats on your first vlog! Soo many good books this week too! Loads of these books are on my wishlist so I'm very jealous.. At the moment I particularly want to get my hands on Of Beast and Beauty because I love story re-tellings. Hope you enjoy all your books!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my SS :)
Laura @ What's Hot?
Thanks Laura! :)
DeleteMel! You are lovely!!! And how I love your accent. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and diverse haul this week. I can't wait to read your reviews on these.
Have a great week!
Thanks <3
DeleteWhat an awesome haul! And your blog is great. I want to do one too sometime but I fear for my accent being flemish and all. While I am great at reading English I think speaking it is a little worse :') lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
~Stephanie @ Bookfever
Thank you. You should try it. I'd love to see a vlog! :)
DeleteWow loads of books! I always get really enthusiastic about doing a vlog during the week and by Sunday I really can't be bothered! I read Parasite yesterday, it's fantastic! Lots more fab books in your pile too :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do a vlog for such a long time now, haha.
DeleteThat's like a tons. I've read the first two books of the Dreaming Anastasia series but I was bored so I ended not finishing the series. I'm interested to read your review/s of it. And yay for Crown of Midnight you will love it (remember the hair pulling twist? HAHA). Awesome haul!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's sad. And yes, I'm loving it <3
DeleteHeeeeee, a vlog! HI!
ReplyDeleteI want to get to The Diviners in October, or Tatum might shout at me. I'm kind of looking forward to it, and kind of putting it off. I also want to read Stormdancer! I was meant to read it in September but then review copies and Rome happened.
I'm afraid to read anything else by JKR as well. I don't think I'll be reading her two newest releases any time soon XD
HI :D
DeleteI'm not sure I'll read her new work soon either..
Aw, you are adorable. <3 Loved the video :D Thank you for sharing. <3 Ahh! So many amazing books! I love love love Stormdancer. So good. And The Diviners. And so many others :D Happy reading. <3 :)
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteAwesome haul! I loved TCV, Mara was okay, Level 2 was a little disappointing. You already know about Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight: AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the reads!
Thanks Ula!
DeleteWow. That is a lot of books!
ReplyDeleteI know :D I've been collecting them, haha.
DeleteLove the vlog! I'm so excited for Crown of Midnight, I'm reading every review of it right now- I'll keep an eye out for yours! I loved Grant's Gone series, so I'd love to hear what you think of BZRK. Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteHaha you are so cute Mel! Loved that you went ahead and did a vlog! I had saw your comments on Twitter about it and was looking forward to see how it turned out, I think it was great. I'm the same way as you and I don't edit my videos (partially don't know how and partially too lazy to care). So when I did my Games videos I would record them like five or six times until I thought it was passable and then just added text afterwards to make fun of myself.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, hope you feel better! You should though, with all these amazing books <3
Thanks Asti, I'm happy I didn't failed too much, haha.
DeleteWow! Awesome haul! And vlog!! I LOOOOOVED The Iron Traitor!! Bring on yet to be named book 3, because OOOOOOMG was there a cliffhanger in that one! Just to warn you! ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the rest of your awesome haul!
Here's my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thank you so much Jessica!
DeleteSo many books! I definitely need to read half of the books that you got this week. I've wanted to read Stormdancer for like months now so I can't wait to see what you think. I really enjoyed Ink so I hope you enjoy it too. Awesome haul and thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelly!
DeleteYou have an amazing haul! And great vlog too.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteWoo, first vlog!! Love your accent and glasses so much, Mel! Can't wait to see more from you if you decide to make more vlogs! Also, The Casual Vacancy isn't for everyone; it's important to remember that it is NOT at all like HP, so don't expect it to be.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah. I was afraid I was speaking like.. a Dutchie trying to speak English :p
DeleteOoh amazing books you've got! For some reason the video isn't showing up...maybe bc I'm on my iPad using Safari :( I need to read INK, The Constant princess! and Unbecoming of Mara Dryer.. And I just met Stacey jay today actually! Now I need to read Of Beast and beauty :) she was so nice!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading! I'm reading Witchstruck now...it's good but I'm kind of having disconnect issues with the characters, I don't feel that close to them *shrug*
Dee @ Dee's reads - My STS
Oh, that's strange! I'll keep that in mind when I read Witchstruck :)
DeleteOh, MEL. You're so adorable - and don't worry about your accent! Mine's probably worse, because people over here speak really crudely sometimes. I'm different because I hang out with a bunch of dignified friends who don't speak with our normal accent. Ha. Anyway, GREAT haul!
ReplyDelete- The Diviners: This was one of the creepiest books I've ever read, and you know me, I don't get scared easily, so that's a major compliment. Also, Libba captured the time and era perfectly. I really hope you like it!
- The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer: So, I didn't like this one as much as many other people did, but there's no denying that the cover is pretty, and that thanks to that major cliffhanger ending, I'm hooked. Maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did, though!
- Level 2: Again, not a particularly remarkable book, but I LOVE the title. I was so mad when they changed it to something totally normal-sounding!
- The Catastrophic History of You and Me: Ooh, okay, I've heard so much great things about this one. In fact, Chri recommended it to me because she loved it so much. Can't wait to hear what you think, Mel!
- The Summer Prince: I love love LOVE the cover and premise for this book. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a mess of plots and characters, and even though I liked that it was set in a futuristic Brazil, it didn't really work out for me.
- The Casual Vacancy: QUEEN ROWLING. That is all.
- Throne of Glass: So glad to hear that you loved it! I did, too, but I haven't gotten the sequel yet even though many people have been raving about how much better it is. Grah. Fingers crossed you'll enjoy CoM!
- Of Beast and Beauty: Beauty and the Beast! One of my favorite fairytales ever, and I've heard that Stacey Jay does a marvelous job with the retelling, too. Looking forward to your review. :D
You're the second to say my accent was okay, so yeay, mission completed :p One of the creepiest book, that promises a lot! I'm happy I got Level 2 with this cover and title too, I hate the change. I know you didn't like The summer prince, but hey, I got it so I'll try it :D
DeleteYay! Congrats on your first vlog! It gets easier the more you do it :) I love your accent btw!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely Team Chaol as well! I think I pronounce his name the same way you do.
I really loved 'Mara Dyer' and 'Level 2' so I hope you enjoy them! The cover for 'The Summer Prince' is so pretty! I'm really really excited to see what you think of 'Of Beast and Beauty' because it sounds awesome!
I also hope you have better luck with 'The Casual Vacancy' than I did. I think I only managed to get through 119 pages before I wanted to throw it out a window.
Anyways, brilliant first vlog Mel! Happy reading :)
Awh, thanks <3 I'm happy it wasn't a failure, haha. And woop, *high five Team Chaol!*
DeleteOMG Mel what an amazing book haul this week, truly epic and putting ours to shame lol! I haven't read The Diviners or The Mara Dyer yet but I really want to. And heard only good things about Throne of Glass and Of Beast and Beauty. Enjoy your new books and thanks for stopping by my STS!
ReplyDeleteJeann @ Happy Indulgence
Haha, thanks :D!
DeleteFantastic vlog, Mel! You really should do them more often :) Stormdancer and The Diviners is really good- I look forward to your thoughts on those >.<
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, hon! <33
Thanks <3
DeleteDude you have an awesome accent! Love it! And you did a great job. I used to vlog but then my camera got all glitchy and I didn't want to bother with fixing it for hours every time so meh. The Diviners is SO good and creepy! I also want to read Level 2 but I hear it's pretty religious so dunno about that yet. iI have also been meaning to try that new JK Rowling but the reviews are all over the place and I'm scared lol. Great haul. chickie!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you! I'm so happy I didn't completely sucked. Many people say something about my accent, so that's great. And what a shame, I liked watching your vlogs.
DeleteI loved the vlog! I love being able to put a face to a blog. I also like your accent.
ReplyDeleteand so many great books that are on my TBR list!
That's why I did it, I love watching vlogs too :)
DeleteThe vlog was so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is really pretty twisted, but I love it! The second book is so much creepier than the first. I love that series.
I really liked Throne of Glass too! I haven't bought Crown of Midnight yet, but maybe soon... As for which team I'm on: Either! I like them both. (And I have no idea how to pronounce half the names in those books!)
You definitely got lots of great books this week! I can't wait to find out what you think of all of them!
Thank you! You should buy Crown of midnight, it's epic and WOW, there are some twists there *still in shock*
DeleteOf beast and beauty is really good!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading it right now :D!
DeleteYour so cute!! Love the vlog, hope you do more of them! (: You got soo many awesome books, I loved Stromdancer, the rest of these though I actually have not read yet! I hope you enjoy all of them (:
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you <3!
DeleteAw, Mel!! You are so cute, I love that you did a vlog. :) And my goodness, you got so many books in Aug/Sept! I hope you enjoy them all, especially ADORKABLE. Loved that one.

DeleteWhoa, massive book haul is massive! And, for once, I actually liked all the ones I've read, and most of them I loved. You have so much to look forward to! Oh, also, would have checked out the vlog, but I'm commenting at work. Shhhh, don't tell.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I won't ;)
DeleteCute vlog! You got some great books this month, Mel! Stormdancer eeee! And The Diviners! Eeee. They are both so good! I DNFed The Summer Prince. Haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara! I can't wait for Stormdancer & The diviners :D
DeleteAwww I love seeing you on vlog! More vlogs! So many books that I need to read - Throne of Glass, Stormdancer...one day my friend, one day!
