Book Blogger Test

Thank you to Yani for tagging me. (c) Yani

What are your top three book pet hates?

  • Dog eared pages
  • Creased spine
  • Books that are too short and yet it deals with heavy topics (i.e sexual abuse)
Describe your perfect reading spot:
  • My favorite reading spot would be on my bed. My bed is the most comfortable place ever. I love my bed <3
Tell us three book confessions:
  • I usually don't buy physical books unless I read them on my iPad.
  • I kind of prefer digital books. For the reason that I bring my iPad anywhere I go and I read on the go.
  • I have a hard time reading full on fantasy novels.
When was the last time you cried while reading a book?
  • Wow...uhm, last March 26 when I finished Champion by Marie Lu. I can't even with that ending...
What is your favorite snack while you're reading?
  • When I'm at school, I usually eat banana chips or doughnuts. At home, I just have a bottle of water or coffee with me.
Name three books you would recommend to everyone:
  • Just One Day by Gayle Forman (Still reeling from the feels...)
  • Legend by Marie Lu (Damn, the awesomeness that is this book!)
  • Anne Frank's Diary by Anne Frank (I love Anne Frank to bits!)
Show us a picture of your favorite bookshelf on your bookcase:

Write how much books mean to you in just three words:
  • Changes my life...'nuff said
What is your biggest reading secret?
  • One big reading secret would probably be when I was in high school, I was in the library and I was reading one of the books from the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson during lunch. When the bell rang, I snuck it out of the library and read it at home.

Why I Love: The 1975

Why I Love is a feature on my blog. This is where I share the things I am currently obsessing on and still obsessed with. Note that future posts are highly over the top and crazy because I am a crazy fangirl.


This band is composed of Adam Hann, Ross Macdonald, Matt Healy and George Daniel. They're from Manchester, England and has been together for 10 years. Their debut album, The 1975, has 39 tracks. Yes, 39 tracks and it shot up in the UK and US charts.

Here are my favorite songs from this band.


Girls
They're just girls, breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls



The City
If you wanna find love, then you know where the city is



Chocolate
Hey now, call it a split 'cause you know that you will
Oh, you bite your friends like chocolate
You say, we'll go where nobody knows, with guns hidden under our petticoats
No, we're never gonna quit
No, we're never gonna quit it.



Pressure
You've seen so many faces that I've never seen before
I left an unrewarding message telling you to come on
Over dramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same.



Robbers
I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said no more line
Will I know you



Settle Down
And you're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking 'round you
And you're cold and I burn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

Just listening to their songs gives you this very calming vibe. Some of the songs on their debut album are very electronic, and sometimes those kinds of songs can get very annoying. It's too auto tuned, but theirs isn't. It's perfect for road trips or for background music at like coffee shops and stuff. And their lyrics are very wonderful.

Check out their cover of Rather Be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. This is, like, the coolest cover I've ever heard of.



If you're looking for the next band to cheer you up, or just looking for new music to listen, listen to The 1975. You will not regret it. I swear.


See you on the next episode/segment/whatever I'm supposed to call this lol!
