Sometimes vlogs get too windy for me and people go on and on but I enjoyed watching yours. You didn't do that. :) It is nice to see what you look like and to "meet" you this way. I am anxious about doing a vlog myself, afraid I will be one of those long-winded people I don't like. :) I am easily distracted so this is a good possibility, lol. I like your reasons for the covers. I was confused at first about you not liking ppl on the covers and then your faves had people on the cover until you explained why: The symbolism in Wintergirls and such. Overall, I give your vlog an A . :) Great vlog! Sometimes vlogs get too windy for me and people go on and on but I enjoyed watching yours. You didn’t do that. :)

I absolutely agree with your opinion on the L.J. Smith books -- the covers take away from the imagination aspect. And that girl is absolutely nothing like I imagined Kaitlyn.

YAY. Love the accent too brings me right back down south :) I agree with you about wanting to be able to visualize/imagine characters on your own as compared to having them laid out for you on the cover. I don't know why I don't struggle with that as much but agree that the element of escapism is a huge part of why I read and anything that takes away from that would be bad. Great vlog, it's wonderful to see you! Look at you! YAY.

I like the idea of doing a vlog for this type of post because putting in all the images of those covers would be a pain in the butt and it would take forever to load. So good call with the subject. ;) One of my least-favorite covers of the year was Going Too Far. HATE it. The Cassandra Clare books do have really kick-ass covers, but I wasn't a fan of the books too much. :( Another vlog!

The cover has a girl, but it also is the perfect metaphor for the story and I love it when the covers are reflections rather than depictions of the stories! Great vlog :o) and Merry Christmas back atcha! Thanks for the mention :o )

I don't want to do the pretentious I have to be sexy and say everything exactly right vlogs, so me just being me on them I kinda like doing it too. I didn’t think I would like vlogging.
