Living Violet and One Direction

Hello wonderful people! I am in an extremely good mood today (oh the wonders a nap can do for a person!) and I decided I should finally blog about two things I've grown pretty fond of over the past few weeks. The first thing, is the band One Direction, now, I've liked 1D for a few months now, but lately I've been listening to their music even more and decided it was worth blogging about. Their album "Up All Night" which will be released in March in the USA, is probably the best thing to happen since the internet. Okay, okay I know its a bit of an exaggeration, but it's a great album nonetheless. I've heard the entire album (no not pirated I just got it from iTunes UK) and I've been listening to it non-stop. There's something about their music that is a breath of fresh air. I would say my top three songs on it are "One Thing", "Gotta Be You", and "Same Mistakes". "One Thing" is a pretty upbeat dance song that makes me smile every time (see -> :-D). Now "Gotta Be You" and "Same Mistakes" are on the other side of the spectrum, they are slow tempo, soulful, and dare I say "sad" songs about relationships that aren't going too well. Harry Styles, one of the vocalist and my favorite from the band, has vocal skills that blow me out of the water every time I listen to him! As a whole, I would give the album 5 stars  it's fun, upbeat, the vocal skills as a whole are great, the songs are really catchy, and I think these boys have a long successful future ahead of them.

And now, the second thing I fell in love with this past week is the book Living Violet by Jaime Reed, it is the first book of "The Cambion Chronicles" which was released January 1st, 2012. I stumbled upon this book playing around on my Nook and it was 2.99 so I figured I'd give it a shot. Little did I know that I would fall in love with the book as much as I did, I literally read through it in a day. Without giving a way too much, the book is basically about a girl, Samara, who wants to uncover her mysterious coworker, Caleb. All the while she falls in love with him and discovers he has a dangerous little secret. It's a great young adult supernatural, for anyone who liked Twilight I guarantee you will love this book, the only issue I had with it was that it ended haha. Now I'm (im)patiently waiting for part two of the series to come out....all the way....in June. -Sigh-. BUT good things come to those who wait right? Anyway check out the book, I have a feeling this one is going to become quite popular.

WHEW! That was a mouthful, I told you guys I was in a good mood today! Until next time folks :)

Peace, Love, and Werewolves <3
