I&#39;m glad I don&#39;t own whatever technology is necessary to make such things, so I&#39;m never put in the position you were in! (I was once interviewed for a documentary about community gardening and I look stiff and uncomfortable throughout the whole thing. It was awful.)<br /><br />For what it&#39;s worth, I couldn&#39;t tell that the camera was shaking and I thought you sounded fine!avisannschildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-4968742038352756652009-10-25T23:58:13.230Z2009-10-25T23:58:13.230ZClaire: Awww, thank you so much for the kind words :D I hope you enjoy Mr Whicher as much as I did!<br /><br />Kay: Thank you!! It was nerve-wrecking, lol :P But I&#39;m glad you all enjoyed it.<br /><br />Susan: lol, you and Debi and Chris are just nuts, I tell you :P I so wish we could talk about books face to face, my friend! And I definitely think you&#39;d enjoy Magic for BeginnersNymethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-60577486903373515362009-10-23T23:36:57.032+01:002009-10-23T23:36:57.032+01:00How wonderful to finally get to hear your voice! I do agree with the sexy voice, and the way you talked about books made me wish you were here so we could keep on talking! lol You did great, Ana. You have beautiful dark eyes. What a lovely vlog! and you managed book talk too without one UM, which is the word I say a lot when I&#39;m thinking. You and Debi, quite a competitive team, and we all benefitted! lol And I really have to read Magic for beginners, it&#39;s been on my want list for a little while now. Thank you, Nymeth!Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-67173267586796295262009-10-23T05:25:02.836+01:002009-10-23T05:25:02.836+01:00Nymeth, that vlog was great!

I was so out of the loop with my Google Reader the past week that I&#39;ve only gotten to this now, but what a lovely, lovely surprise! It was so nice to see you and hear you talk. You seem so nice in your posts, but now I can see you&#39;re even nicer in person. :) Watching your vlog was so heartwarming.<br /><br />Anyway, like all the others, I&#39;m purchasing Mr Whicher soon just because of you. :Dclairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-40415373257362535862009-10-22T23:50:56.795+01:002009-10-22T23:50:56.795+01:00Trisha - aw, thank you! You are too mind. And I hope you enjoy Chiggers if you pick it up. I really like Hope Larson&#39;s art.<br /><br />J.T. Oldfield: Your turn to Vlog now ;)<br /><br />Kathy, thank you so much! <br /><br />JoAnn, thank you!<br /><br />T.Y. lol, you actually have a reason to expect that, as we&#39;re taught British English in school here (as are students in most of the rest of Europe). However, countless American movies, TV shows and bands undid all the hard work my teachers did ;) And thank you so much!<br /><br />She: I didn&#39;t FEEL brave, I can promise you that :P<br /><br />Amanda: YES. Come here! You know you want to :P Seriously, you and Chris and Debi and whoever else wants to come along need to plan a Europe trip, teenage backpacker style ;)<br /><br />Heather: I can&#39;t promise to, sorry :P It was agonizing!<br /><br />Daphne: Dooooooo! Do do do! And aww, thank you &lt;3<br /><br />Lena: lol! I would, but Debi scarred me for life, so no more deals ;)<br /><br />Heidenkind: Thank you! Now I know that I *can* do it, but seriously, it&#39;s not worth the stress :P<br /><br />Shanra: lol, we should! It&#39;s only fair :P And ouch at the whacking, but *hugs* anyway :O Everything you said - thank you, and LIKEWISE.<br /><br />litlove: Aw, thank you so much<br /><br />Valentina: You have a point about doing things you&#39;re scared of :P I&#39;m sad that you don&#39;t have a webcam, though...I&#39;d love to see you!<br /><br />Staci: Aww, you&#39;re too sweet! *big hug* <br /><br />Rebecca: I&#39;d never have done it if I hadn&#39;t been TRICKED :P<br /><br />Alessadra: aw, thank you so much! I&#39;d LOVE to see you do one! And I bet your accent is lovely - I really like foreign accents, with the sole exception of my own :P<br /><br />Lu: I hope you do! And thank you &lt;3<br /><br />Terri B: I&#39;d say I&#39;d do another one if you did, but I&#39;ve learned my lesson :P<br /><br />trapunto: Thank you for stopping by! You are too kind. <br /><br />kreed: you&#39;re welcome, and thank *you*! Having seen and heard Debi made this whole thing worth it :D<br /><br />Alice, I hope it works with no problems!<br /><br />Violet: Aww, thank you for waiting so patiently! I really enjoyed Magic for Beginners. I didn&#39;t get around to posting about it this week, but next week I will for sure.<br /><br />Jeanne: I love the idea too!<br /><br />Suey, you are too kind!<br /><br />Joanna: I bet you could! Just saying :P And thank you :)<br /><br />Stephanie: :( Well, I hate mine too and I did it anyway :P<br /><br />Elizabeth: Aw, thank you!Nymethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-66780469861130966592009-10-22T02:51:44.868+01:002009-10-22T02:51:44.868+01:00This was so great- I loved every minute of it!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10939074543470696025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-31155283822752641132009-10-21T23:57:56.551+01:002009-10-21T23:57:56.551+01:00Verbatim, you are too kind! And yes, picking up the books did make things easier :P<br /><br />Heather, thank you so much! DO get a webcam; I&#39;d love to see you!<br /><br />Kim: It is very fun! And having had company would have helped. I should have used my cap as a prop, since I have no sister :P<br /><br />Lezlia, thank you!<br /><br />Dar, thanks! I hope you do one some day :)<br /><br />Joanne: LOL! I&#39;m NOTHING like a Bond Girl :P But thank you for your kind words :)<br /><br />Memory, thank you so much! I&#39;m surprised it looks organized, and it was all very spur of the moment. If I have it much thought I&#39;d lose my courage :P<br /><br />Aarti: A lot of it are end notes and bibliography, so it&#39;s not as huge as it looks!<br /><br />Andi: lol! I miss sleeping in.<br /><br />Lightheaded, thank you so much! I&#39;ll read A Room with a View at some point for sure.<br /><br />Priscilla: Even though I&#39;ve read it, I really do appreciate the recommendation :)<br /><br />Kailana: lol! I understand :P<br /><br />Louise: That&#39;s the only possible benefit of this whole thing :P<br /><br />Diane: Can&#39;t promise more, sorry :P<br /><br />Amy: I&#39;m glad you liked it! I can&#39;t believe you guys actually convinced me to do this. Goes to show how much I love you ;)<br /><br />Megan: Believe me, the lack of ums and ers doesn&#39;t mean I wasn&#39;t horribly nervous :P And thanks - the book DID cheer me up :D<br /><br />Janicu: Ha - exactly! :P And thanks :P<br /><br />Heather, thank you so much! And thanks for understanding :P<br /><br />Jeanne: Yes, same here. But it&#39;s fun to get a glimpse of the people behind the blog, so I always enjoy the first one at the very least.<br /><br />Jodie: I guess it&#39;s impossible not to cave at least once :P<br /><br />Meghan, thank you! When I get nervous, I just start talking non-stop - normally really fast too :P<br /><br />ds: Aw, thank you! And yes, it&#39;s good to beat our fears every now and then and doing something really anxiety-inducing that we never thought we COULD do.<br /><br />Nancy: lol, I should have thought of saying I didn&#39;t have a camera...I only thought of it too late :P (I&#39;m not saying you&#39;re only pretending not to have one, thought!)<br /><br />Loren Eaton, thank you!<br /><br />Naida, thanks! I hope you do one at some point :)<br /><br />Gavin: Thank you! And I hope so about Pollitt. she really is amazing.<br /><br />Melody: Thank you :)<br /><br />Wendy: lol...I kind of wish I didn&#39;t have one either :P<br /><br />Chris: Nope, sorry :P But thank you so much - you made me blush here. As I was saying before, I talk like a drunkard when I&#39;m nervous. Don&#39;t let the conversational tone fool you ;) And hooray for ban breaking! lol, I probably should NOT be saying this :PNymethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-60658679303724486092009-10-21T11:53:32.599+01:002009-10-21T11:53:32.599+01:00This was great!! I loved it too! But that&#39;s what you get for making a bet with Debi. I can honestly say, there will be NO vlogs in my immediate future. Or the not-so-immediate future.

The depth and thoughtfulness of your reviews make them a real pleasure to read. I&#39;ll be looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Magic for Beginners.

So glad to see and hear you! Your English is fantastic and you have nothing to worry about. Hey, I don&#39;t even speak another language and I applaud you for being multi-lingual. Speaking of being out of your comfort zone ... have you noticed that I&#39;ve only ever made the one vlog?? Being in front of a camera is not my fave thing to do either. Thanks for sharing yourself with us, and if you ever do make another vlog I&#39;ll look forward to watching it :o)Terri B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-51725459183624138472009-10-19T20:41:53.388+01:002009-10-19T20:41:53.388+01:00You should NEVER be nervous about your English skillz. Really. They are amazing and I am always impressed. I think because I fumble and sound like an idiot every day in Spanish class, you just have no idea how good you are!<br /><br />Maybe I will record a vlog!

You look very pretty, too. This sounds like a fun idea - I might do one of these someday. If I ever figure out how you do it, that is.

You did wonderfully! I think the laptop moving (and maybe a tremble in your voice here and there) is (are) the only signs that you&#39;re nervous. And that perhaps only because you <i>told</i> us you were nervous! Truly, that&#39;s a great vlog you&#39;ve done!<br /><br />Yay! Sneakpeek on Nymeth-thoughts! I have &quot;The Suspicions of Mr Whicher&quot; somewhere on my TBR pile too. ^-^<br /><br />You&#39;re such a brave young woman, Nymeth! (And gorgeous and sweet and your accent is lovely!) Also, you do not suck! *whacks Nymeth with a newspaper because that&#39;s what Shanra&#39;s <i>do</i>* You did great with the vlog, though, and I&#39;d love to see you do another. (But I won&#39;t pester you about it.) Don&#39;t be too hard on yourself. ^-^Shanrahttp://libritouches.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069484.post-26403120698081833832009-10-19T08:05:47.586+01:002009-10-19T08:05:47.586+01:00I loved your vlog--it was fun! I really enjoyed listening to you talk about the books you read recently. I hope you do another one. :) (Being a shy person myself, I can understand completely why you were nervous--but there definitely wasn&#39;t any reason to be.
