This is quite a bit if a random post, huh. But if you've been a reader of this blog long enough, you'll know that it's nothing new. Posts have been scarce here, or to be more specific, I haven't been posting anywhere near as much as I used to.I guess a lot has changed in the past few months. The beginning of this year has been different for me life- wise and blogging-wise, and that is clear if you look at the amount of posts on my archive. Maybe I have changed as a person. I mean, I am twenty years old - far from the16 year old who started this blog. I've also found that lately I haven't even been reading all that much. But one thing definitely remains the same: the want to stay connected to my readers. The blog needs a lot of updating - like the review archive. And for this reason I'm going to be spending the next few weeks just making time to update it, take out a few things, put others in its place and write more posts - including updating you with all the books I have been reading!
So this post will include just a whole lot of updates to let you know a few things about me
First of all, if you feel like you can't catch me often on here, I am on goodreads 'here' a lot more. My account is on private so if you want to add me, please answer the question. I am much more up to date with my reviews on there so you might find it filled with reviews of books you had no idea I had read. I'll be linking my goodreads page on the site. I should have done it much earlier since I am on it so often. And also, if you are for whatever reason interested in my ramblings, follow me on twitter and I would love to chat! 'here' :)
I have also recently been trying to get into anime. And truthfully, it's not the getting-into it part that one struggles with but finding the right anime. Which of course, is the most crucial part. I forget how amazing anime is when I take a break from it after a while. I am currently watching Hana-Saku Iroha. (check out the synopsis and ratings here . Anime Planet is fantastic if you're looking for a anime to watch. Plenty of reviews and ratings to give you a hint of what's for you. It is my go-to place when I am looking to watch something.) Although current episodes aren't as good as the first few, the topics it handles, the depth to some of these characters just amazes me. Mother-daughter relationships are really dealt to their core in this, a young girl trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life, discover herself and juggle friendships and blossoming feelings for a once best mate are just few of the things she is going through. And it is why I love anime so much. Anime tends to handle these topics so head on, with such force and yet with a kind of sensitivity to back it up that just always blows me away.
But before I started watching this, I was all about the TV shows. My top three favourites have to be The Walking dead (this one made me face my fear of zombies. scary bits/ gore. Like it really tested me and I wanted to watch it so bad that I had no choice but to face it head on for the first time). And I am so , so glad I did. It was mind blowing. Next came Spartacus. Now my big brother told me about it but wanted me nowhere near it. It has nudity. A LOT of it. So it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But being the rebellious sister and all, it only made me want to watch it more. Of course I did. Hehehee. After I was over being traumatised, I eventually desensitised to all the nudity and their way with words. And I fell for it hard. It's my favourite out of the three, let's just put it that way, shall we :). Game of Thrones is the third show I watched. With the previous two having finished, and their new seasons not starting for a year or so, well, boy am I glad I have this fantastic show to keep me going. I thought I would hate it. The genre is not my thing at all but wow was I proved wrong. Robb Stark anyone, yes please!!
Books-Wise I recently received The Golden Lily, Legend, and The throne of Glass (which I am currently reading). I am also going to read The Blind Assassin By Margaret Atwood and The Journals of Sylvia Plath, which I am hugely excited for.
I have a few books which I need to review being: Insurgent, City of Lost Souls, How it Ends Unwind (once I have reread it), Chain Reaction, Before I die, some Melina Marchetta books (!!), A midsummer's Nightmare, Chaos Walking series and This is Not a Test.
And lastly, as a way for us to catch up on the blog I installed a chat box. Remember that one? Hehehe. I had one back in the early days of blogging and proved quite useful. I know it's rightttttt at the bottom of the blog, but alas, what to do? So just scroll to the bottom and you should see it.
(CLICK those in bold to have a listen at the songs)
Current Favourite songs: Fun (we are young) ft Janelle Monae , Rihanna (Where have you been ) , Drake ft Rihanna (take care) Jay Z and Kanye West ft Frank Ocean ( No Church in the Wild) , The Fray (Be Still) and John Williams (Becoming a Geisha) this one is just stunning. I am constantly listening to it on repeat. It is perfect for a calm mood.
This has become quite the long post so I'll end it with a little something...
