More Books & Tunes

I have to admit that I have been reading A LOT. It's kind of great because it makes up for not reading during the busy school year, so heres some more books:

( Keep in mind that I read very light, easy reads during the summer)


Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick






Holy, I did not expect a lot from this book but it was really funny! I was laughing the entire time I was reading this book. My mom actually read it before me and told me it was great, so I continued where I left off. It is a bit slow, but trust me you won't regret reading it!



Recovery Road by Blake Nelson



This book, completely and utterly destroyed my emotions. This book was so real in a way, and really delt with love and romance in a way that you would expect characters to deal with it. You really feel this characters pain, and through her time in rehab you see her progression as a character. By the end of this book, I threw it across the room out of anger and frustration and sadness. For people that liked Silver Linings Playbook, and Its Kind Of A Funny Story, this is for you!






Music:


Your ex lover is dead- stars

If you read about my tragic encounter with The Summer I Turned Pretty series, theres more. I found a playlist of songs online that the author had to show the emotions of the story, and the songs she listened to while writing it. Let me tell you, this song is so powerful in so many ways. I love the group Stars, and somehow never heard of this song, and now it might be one of my favourites. 

Burning Bridges- Onerepublic 

Everyone always thinks i'm confusing onerepublic with one direction. NO. They are two separate bands! I have recently fallen in love with their new CD, Native and this is one of my favourite songs. 

Atlas Hands- Benjamin Francis Leftwich

This song, I have loved since the beginning of the summer and its just a really simple, relaxing song. I demand you to youtube this song now!
