End of 2013 Survey

Well, I'm sure you've all already heard of this survey before, but in case you've been living under a rock and haven't, the 2013 End of Year Book Survey is a fun survey hosted by Jaime at The Perpetual Page-Turner (I'm pretty sure she actually hosts it every year). Chantelle and I decided to do the survey in vlog form rather than have to type everything out because we're kinda lazy. lol. I'll still type out the questions and books in case you can't watch the vlog :)
