My First YouTube Video

I just published my first ever YouTube video and it's my June Book Haul. It's about 18 books, though it's of course not the best quality but I'm working on figuring out what the best filming setup for me is.

Thanks for reading and thanks for watching!

Since I'm not ready to write a review, but still wanted to have a new post, I thought I'd do another monthly favorites post. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend I started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I'd been hearing author Rachel Hawkins raving about it and it seemed interesting. I started watching it a little less than a week ago and I finished the first season last night and I loved it. Towards the end of the first season, you start getting some second-hand embarrassment that tends to go along with sitcoms, but it's still overall great and really funny. Despite the title, it has some great feminism as well as LGBT representation, although you have to wait a little longer for that to be explicit, but you can see it comin...
