Imagine Dragons

Well is was postponed and was last night, and it was the best night this year.


Tiptoe Higher.



Lift your feet off the ground and feel the music go straight to your heart, listen as your heartbeat changes and everyone in the room becomes friends for and hour or so because the music has the same effect. Scream the lyrics as loud as you can because you can and no one will judge you, jump up and down, dance, and sway. Let the music change you. Spend the entire night on tiptoes because you are stood behind the worlds tallest human being, but most of all smile. Imagine Dragons were amazing last night, and all I want is to be right there forever, because in that moment I felt infinite and it was the happiest I have been this year. Music is more powerful than anything else at bringing people together well said Dan, Ben, Wayne, Daniel and Wolfman.

P.S. I love the fact that the pictures are blurred the lights are bright and the music was so damn good I don't care.

The Book Club.

The book club. For me a classic symbol of intelligence, and literary love. Exactly the sort of club I would love to belong to, but there is one problem. That problem is that I read a lot, and by a lot I mean 1-3 books in a week depending on where I am and what I am doing. Now I stopped reading so much for the last few academic terms, in order to learn... this was before I discovered my new reading spot.

I have migrated from my bed with its feather duvet and soft pillows, to my window. Now this may seen strange but it means I can sit and read as though I was outside, but without needing to find earphones that work properly. Yes I am one of those people who listens to music while I read, as a result all the books I read have a soundtrack, that only I can hear. 

Now back to this problem of mine, I read a lot. It has got to the stage where I now read instead of doing college work, which is why I am writing this post, to help with this rediscovered addiction to reading and book shopping! 

To make things worse my notepad with my to-do list in, is my bookmark!

So I have an idea. Probably one that no one will want to take part in...

An Online Book Club. One: it will control my reading habit, by one book every 2 weeks and two: I will discover books I would have never read before. 

So start I have reading list that I would like anyone who has read this far, to look at and comment their favourite. In my next post I will announce the winner and everyone will find a copy of this book, even if you have read it before and sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and some cake and just read. 

So here we are: Image

The Help by Kathryn Stocket

Image

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles 

Image

The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald (The film is also fabulous and the soundtrack addictive!)

Image

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini 

Image

Eragon by Christopher Paolini 

 

This is how it will work once I have a winner, or I decide on a book, I will write a review and you can comment your views on the book, or if you have a blog write on there and tweet me the link!
