#FridayReads 16.8.2013

Posted on Friday, August 16, 2013

Hi! I'm sorry for the lack of content the past two weeks, and I don't really have an explanation for last week, but this week I've been busy doing GISHWHES or The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt The World Has Ever Seen and it's been a lot of fun! I haven't read much this week, but I'll try to read a bit this weekend, and I'm planning on continuing with A Storm of Swords part 2 by George R. R. Martin.

I've already read 145 pages of it, so I'm hoping to read about 100 pages more this weekend. I start school next week, so I probably won't read a lot the next few weeks! fml.

What are you reading this weekend?

Summer Songs #2

Posted on Sunday, August 4, 2013

I've started listening to a lot of new music the past few months, so I decided to update you with some more summer songs I recommend! Check out part one here.

#10 alt-J - Fitzpleasure

The song is catchy and the music video is awesome! I love this song so much. It's not my favorite by alt-J, but it has earned the spot of my 10th favorite on this list.


#9 Ellie Goulding - You, My Everything

This song was created for Skins Fire, and not only did it fit Effie's episodes so well, it's also really good. I've been listening to this song a lot lately, and although it didn't rank very high on this list, I love it a lot!


#8 Grouplove - Ways to Go

Grouplove is probably the group that I've listened to the most this summer. I love their unique voices and catchy songs.


#7 Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful
My favorite song from the Great Gatsby soundtrack by far! I've started to like Lana Del Ray a bit more lately, even though her voice makes me sleepy.


#6 Imagine Dragons - Working Man

This song makes me really happy.


#5 alt-J - Breezeblocks
*Drumroll* This is my favorite alt-J song! Yup, two of their songs made it to the list.


#4 The Majority Says - Kings of The Night
Why doesn't The Majority Says have more fans? They're awesome! I love their music, and this is my favorite song by them. You should also check out 114 and Dance to the Beat!

#3 Bastille - Of The Night

Top 3! Since Bastille is my favorite band, I had to add a song by them, right? This summer, I've listened to their cover of Rythm of The Night so many times, and I love the music video as well.

#2 Grouplove - Tongue Tied
My second favorite song is another one by Grouplove - Tongue Tied! Gosh, this song is amazing and makes me so happy.

#1 Woodkid - I Love You
And the first place goes to I Love You by Woodkid! If you don't want to watch the intro to this video skip to 1:30 to listen to the song! Oh my god, words can't describe my love for this song. It has everything I love in a song - a unique voice, nice rhythm and it's not like anything I've heard before. It reminds me a bit of Amy Winehouse in a way, and the music video is awesome as well!

What are your favorite songs at the moment?
