Bookish Vlog #8 - The Cruel Prince, The Hazel Wood, The Belles & ICE CREAM

[@alexalovesbooks]

I’m glad we went to the Melissa Albert/Holly Black event together! That was still such a great discussion to be at, and I hope they do another one again next year when their next books come out 😍 and yay ice cream!!

[@FiMilton]

This video makes me so happy! 💖 so much awesome bookishness!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Thank you!

[@sandyreadsalot]

I'm so jealous of all the book events that you are able to attend!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I am really lucky to be local to NYC

[@tessavery2151]

I am so excited to read American Panda! I just requested it at my library.... Also, that ice cream looks amazing...

[@MerrilyKristin]

American Panda was so good! I just filmed my review for it this past weekend!

[@rachelhubbard26]

Love this

[@TheModernGafa]

Jeez I wish there were that many geek bloggers in Pittsburgh. I'm like... the only one.

[@TheMoonKingdom]

I love the faerie discussion:)

[@MerrilyKristin]

Sameeeee

[@safaakhann]

You should do a video on your favorite OTPS

[@MerrilyKristin]

I have done one on my favorite TV OTPs!

I was at The Belles signing too! The tables and everything were so cute, but it was SO PACKED!! It was great there was such an awesome turnout, but wow that was a lot. It's such a gorgeous book, and I need to read it soon!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes!!! They set everything up so adorably! I was so happy for Dhonielle but it was crazy crowded!!! I have to say, I think I like 18th street much better for events. There wasn't even room to see them talk at all at the new store!

[@danisbookshelf3167]

I agree, I think it would have been better at the 18th Street store, but I think they were pretty surprised they had such a good turnout, especially with all of the rain! Regardless, still a fun event, and I'm so excited to have a signed copy of the Belles. I also got They Both Die at the End signed since I just read it the week before and loved it :-)

[@sandragenrejunkies]

Another awesome vlog! Xox

[@MerrilyKristin]

Thank you!

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

still have to read the cruel prince! I can't wait as everyone has been talking about it

[@MerrilyKristin]

I hope you love Cruel Prince and The Belles!

[@PatrickBooks]

the finished copy of the hazel wood is so beautiful!!!! how did you like save the date!!?

[@MerrilyKristin]

I really enjoyed it! I actually already reviewed it in my most recent wrap up!

[@theworldwhispers]

You could change the trigger word for Amazon's Alexa if you wanted to. :) I know some other people with friend Alexas in their lives that had to do that, haha. Also, loved listening to Holly & Melissa talk! Thank you for sharing snippets of that kind of stuff with those of us that don't have access to cool signings and stuff like that! :D

[@MerrilyKristin]

I think I might have to! Sometimes she doesn't pick up when I say Alexa's name but other times she does and I have to whisper or call her A lol! And you're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed hearing them! I wish I could've gotten footage of Dhonielle and Adam at The Belles signing too but it was just too crowded!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ice cream makes everything 20 times better

[@MerrilyKristin]

It really does. I'm so happy warmer weather is on the way!

[@ariamoon7054]

I have to find my game but i started with poplio

[@MerrilyKristin]

AHHHH WE MUST TRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zackatk77]

Wow you've had a busy couple of months! 😮 All the signings look like they were pretty fun. New York seems to pretty hoppin" with book signings. 📚 How have you liked Pokémon Sun/Moon? I've been on the fence about buying one of the games (leaning more toward Ultra because I have a special code for Ash Hat Pikachu), but I'm not sold yet.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes! That is one of the best things about living in NY- there's some type of book event almost every week! I really enjoyed Pokemon Moon! I am planning on getting and beating Ultra as well, but I've been meaning to conquer Moon since last year >.

[@zackatk77]

So the process has been slowing than you'd hoped eh?

[@MerrilyKristin]

No, I managed to complete most of the game in the span of a week... I just started reading Warcross after starting Pokemon and ended up on a huge reading kick!
