Hello Lovely world!
It has been a while and I keep vowing to myself to keep writing and then I just don't.
I have some ideas that I thought would make a great Blog post, but then the idea would never come to alive. So tonight, I am going to fill them out in one post. Enjoy!
The Fault In Our Stars
Now I can't remember if I actually did a book review on this last year. A week back my sister and I went to watch it on the big screen. Exciting times, the screening was filled with pre-teen girls. We felt pressured to be mature and not cry. Crying did happen, that story just gets me every time. If you haven't heard of The Fault In Our Stars, I strongly suggest you go out and buy the book; which is at least £4 in any Asda store. Or you can pay the over priced cinema ticket and watch the film. As a book lover, read the book first. I even managed to get my mum to read it and she thought it was 'alright,' her quote not mine.
Another Murakami Novel
Most of the people who know me, knows I am a huge lover of Murakami. Just recently I have finished another novel, which makes it the 4th book of his I have read. This one was called 'Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End Of The World', it is something completely different from what I suspect Murakami normally write. Nonetheless it was still the most enjoyable read, although it took me so long to actually read it, but once I passed the 300 page mark it all made sense! Murakami is still portrayed his philosophical story telling in a more imaginative and fantasy style story, I have yet to read of his work.
Lana Del-Ray- Ultravoilet
I recently brought a new album, I am quite amazed. Lana Del-Ray at first experience will always remind me of some diva solo artist like Beyonce or Cheryl Cole. If I was to first look at Lana Del-Ray, I would be adamant that I wouldn't like her music, that she is just another solo artist who buys her songs and not write them.
I don't actually know anything about Lana Del-Ray, if she writes her own songs or if she works with a song writer, but fortunately when I first heard of Lana Del-Ray; Video Games, I was completely smitten. That smitten feeling involved buying her first album and becoming my ultimate long car journey sing along album. Her new album that recently came out is twice as good as her first. She still brings vintage and retro music into modern times. Using old fashion tunes and mixing it with lyrics to do with love and romance of today times. Strongly suggest checking her music out if you are into that sort of thing.
George Ezra.
NEW GUY, NEW GUY. To my google+ readers, you may remember I posted a comment on BBC Radio one YouTube page when George Ezra performed in the Radio live lounge. He sounds so much older than he looks and that is why I am so addicted to his music right now. I recently brought his début album and I tell you what, it is hard to switch from Lana Del-Ray to George Ezra. His album has a great country meets Ed Sheeran feeling, he explores multi cultural music and turns them to his own tune. If you haven't heard Budapest, then I think you need to get clicking on to YouTube.
That is some things I have been enjoying and what I have done recently. Let me know what you think if you have seen/listened to or even read any of these things.
I do apologise if it seems quite rushed, I am just so tired!
Until next time!
Claire.
