Khy Asked...Adele Answered

...with a poor quality vlog.

Apologies for the quality of the picture but I have no idea what I am doing :) If you have some suggestions for a newbie then they will be gratefully received. Also note that a low angle doesn't do you any favours.

I saw the title of the post in my reader first and was like "what did I ask for?" and then I opened the post and saw the screenshot and was like YAAAAAAAAY!

YOU MUST VLOG MORE! I loved this one. =0 =0 =0 Hush Hush didn't work for me either, but I liked 13 Reasons Why. Mama's Song sounds great! Why does Australia have all sorts of good books I cannot get?

Mama's song was great. I asked Ben Beaton about being a man and writing about a new mother in that novel, and he said he couldn't have written it without his wife (the interview is here, if you want to read the full answer: http://heyteenager.blogspot.com/2009/08/interview-with-ben-beaton.html)

I think I'm going to have to read Thirteen Reasons Why again. Because when I first read it I was thirteen and it blew me away, but then again, I also loved Twilight when I was thirteen. Oh my god, I shouldn't have admitted to that. So I think I need to read that again.

Also, vlog again! I thought it was awesome. And your Australian accent!

GREAT VLOG! I absolutely loved it, and I hope that you will do more vlogs! :-)
I haven't read any of these books, but now I'm hesitant about 13 Reasons Why.
And I think this is THE first non 100% positive review I have heard of Hush, Hush.
I still can't wait to read it!

Yay! Adele - it's you! So cool :D I love your Aussie accent.. they're my favourite.

It's great to put a face to your blog/writing etc... and please do more in the future! :)

So cool. I got to see Adele up close now <3333

Alea said...

IT'S ADELE!!!!!! Do more!

Hearing what you had to say about 13 Reasons Why makes me wonder how I'll do with it. We will see...

Ahh! I love your accent! Great vlog, you should do more!

I also didn't really buy into Patch's feelings for Nora. And Becca commented that she was glad I didn't buy it yet...so I'm pretty curious of what the sequel will be about.

Yan said...

You seem so cool, calm and collected in front of the camera O_O must be all that teacher experience eh? lol

Hi Adele, the 'Middle Aged Man' here.
Great Vlog - I love that cover too - it was like the picture in my head of George in the wheat.

The camera in your Mac (or the web cam you're using) needs lots of light.
