Tag: The Book Sacrifice Tag

I know that I've been doing a lot of tags and book related posts lately but I'm going to continue just because I find these fun. This tag was recently created by ArielBissett on YouTube. It's a tag about the books you hate but please, don't kill me if you love these books. Everyone's opinions are different. There are four different scenarios that Ariel has created and all you do is choose a book you would sacrifice in that situation.

1) An Over-Hyped Book: Let's start this off with a Zombie Apocalypse! Let's say you're in a book store, just browsing, when BAM! ZOMBIE ATTACK. An announcement comes over the PA System saying that the military has discovered that the zombies' only weakness is over-hyped books. What book that everyone else says is amazing but you really hated do you start chucking at the zombies knowing that it will count as an over-hyped book and successfully wipe them out?!
This one is just a bit hard because most of the time, when everyone loves a book, I love it too. I'm going to chose Delirium byLauren Oliver though. I did rate this book 4 STARS but I think I'm choosing this book because I think the series overall is way over-hyped.

2) A Sequel: Let's say you've just left the salon with a SMASHING new haircut and BOOM: Torrential downpour. What sequel are you willing to use as an umbrella to protect yourself? 
This one is extremely easy. UnWholly byNeal Shusterman. I did a whole post as to why I hated this sequel. I expected so much because the first book was absolutely amazing but this sequel just pissed me off. Read about it here: Book Disappointment Of February 2013!

3) A Classic: Let's say you're in a lecture and your English teacher is going on and on about how this classic changed the world, how it revolutionized literature and you get so sick of it that you chuck the classic right at his face because you know what? This classic is stupid and it's worth detention just to show everyone how you feel! What Classic did you chuck?
To be honest I have never completed a classic in my life. I know, go ahead and judge me. I am though, currently reading a Classic for school and I'm just going to choose it. I think it's just really hard to enjoy a book that you're forced to read. Frankenstein byMary Shelley.

4) Your Least Favourite Book of Life!: Let's say that you're hanging out at the library when BAM global warming explodes and the world outside becomes a frozen wasteland. You're trapped and your only chance for survival is to burn a book. What is the book you first run to, your least favourite book of all life, what book do you not fully regret lighting?

Also a very easy choice. I would burn this book without hesitation. Stolen by Lucy Christopher. I just found the situation so extremely disturbing. A girl is kidnapped and forced to loved the person who kidnapped her. That is absolutely crazy! It's disgusting how she even slowly falls for him. I just couldn't read it, couldn't even finish it. I would've given it 0 STARS if I could've.

Tag: Music Tag

 I wanted to do a tag on my blog and I'm not really sure if it's a thing on blogs but I know that people always do tags on YouTube. I found this tag and thought, why not? The questions are pretty simple and they fit in perfectly with my blog. If you want to do the tag, please do so! I tag everyone.

1. Favorite band/ musician of the moment?
Right now I'm obsessed with Lee Hi because of her new song Rose. Best song ever. Well at least so far.
2. One band you always come back to?
This is hard because there are so many artists/bands that I can always listen to. The only person I can think of right now is Taylor Swift. Whenever I'm in the mood, I can listen to her, no matter how old the song.
3. Favorite movie soundtrack?
I don't know if you count this as a movie but I love the To The Beautiful You OST because I love that K-Drama. If I have to choose a movie though, it'd be the Pitch Perfect Soundtrack. Come on, les be honest, it's awesome.
4. What is/are your favorite song(s) of all time?
I can't. This is really really hard but I think I'd have to chose Adele. I can't choose between Rolling in the Deep, Set Fire to the Rain and Turning Tables.
5. Most embarrassing song on your iTunes?
I have a lot of songs on my iTunes and I don't think I'm really embarrassed about any of them but I'll just choose the 4 virals. Baby, Call Me Maybe, What Makes You Beautiful and... yep, Gangnam Style.
6. Top 3 played songs on your iTunes?
I've changed my iTunes and so some of my most played songs ever have had their plays erased. Luckily though, I do remember them.
- Static Revenger & Richard Vission feat. Luciana - I Like That
From memory this song had over 600 plays. Yeah I know, I was addicted to this song way back when in 2009. Feels like so long ago now.
- BIGBANG - Monster
Also from memory, I'm pretty sure this song had almost 400 plays. V.I.P forever.
- Boyfriend - Janus
This one is recent and is on my newer iTunes and it has exactly 292 plays. I'm about to make it 293.
7. Favorite concert you've attended?
Actually, I've never been to a concert ever. I know, I need to get a life.
8. Most underrated musician in your opinion?
Most of the people I listen to are pretty popular. I guess K-Pop is underrated and misunderstood over all because of PSY. But, one artist I like that not many people have heard of is Kerli. Her song, Army of Love is one of my favourites.
9. Favorite quote or song lyric?
I love quotes, A LOT. This is going to be hard. Song lyrics are hard too since there's so many. My favourite I'd say would be never give up on the dreams you can't go a day without thinking about. I know this is meant to be a music tag and a song lyric would be better but that quote just really gets to me. I think it's beautiful.


Wow, okay that was a long post. I hope this post further shows what my taste in music is like.

Review: Set Me On Fire by Bella Ferraro

Genres: Pop, Music
Released: 14 December 2012
℗ 2012 Sony Music Entertainment Australia Pty Ltd.

Song:
This song displays Bella Ferraro's amazing and unique vocals. The instruments are kept to the bare minimum with some piano. Strings aren't brought in until later in the track so that Bella's amazing voice can shine.

Lyrics:

The words are very inspiring and beautiful. Though the track isn't cheerful or uplifting, the lyrics are definitely positive. Songs are meant to be another form of a poem but lately, songs have lost it's poetic meaning. These lyrics are definitely much more thought out with the metaphors, similes and other endless poetic techniques. My favourite part:

"Set me on fire,
With silent kisses like the sunset
Darkness is our playground we call home"

Summary:

Set Me On Fire is my favourite song of the moment and you should definitely check it out! Being Australian, the song doesn't get much hype worldwide but I think she definitely deserves it. As of right now, the video on YouTube doesn't even have 50,000 hits yet. It's so unfortunate because the song, and Bella, are beautiful.
