Quick Note

Sorry if it's all seemingly abandoned again. I'm having major issues right now with school and my scheduling for other things.

Things will be back on track by the end of this week!

I'm almost done reading 20 Boy Summer, so look out for the review by Wednesday!

ps.

I added a new playlist for everyone to enjoy while their on the blog page. It's mostly an instrumental playlist by the korean group Eternal Morning. It's a side project of Epik High's leader Tablo. Hope you like it!

EXAMS

Sorry about being absent! I've had exams all week and so I was studying and things like that.

The yearbook is almost done too. I had to go in today, but I can't since my mummy doesn't want me to go out since I haven't seen her in a while.

Well now I can get back on track and update again..

Speaking of tests, there are a few books that I have read centered around 'em.

The Taker by J.M. Steele

This is a pretty good book. It's interesting, but sort of cliche. I give it a 3.5 out of 5

It was pretty funny.

Hacking Harvard by Robin Wasserman

Okay maybe not exactly the same, but you get where I'm going. Its about these geeky kids who try to get a slacker into Harvard. Has some twists and is pretty interesting. But it could have been better.  3.5 out of 5

And strangely, that's all I can remember at the moment. 

If you know of any other type book, let me know!

New Moon: It's Official

It's official.

Dakota Fanning is part of the New Moon cast playing, Jane of the Volturri!

Personally, Im thrilled. Dakota is totally cute and a great actress! She's totally grown up a bit too.

In other New Moon news, there is a contest to win a chance to view the set of New Moon and have a small role!

I'll update you as I did before when Twilight was coming out! 

Epik Short Story Collection

Epik High's leader Tablo has recently released a short stories collection called Pieces of You.

If you haven't heard of Epik High, which I'm guessing most of you haven't, they are a korean hip-hop/rap group. They are one of my favorite bands because they sing about real issues and are a bit deeper than some of the artists in the US. Plus they just rock.

Tablo had attended Stanford University and had written the stories in his college years. This collection of short stories is a bestseller in Korea, selling

50, 000 copies in one week. And did I mention it became a bestseller before it even came out? It's also been said to have gone into a second printing. This book has now been made available in the original english form and for sale on various websites.

The book itself contains ten short stories and even has a few ink-styled illustrations.

Mini Excerpts:

"My heart was closed. Cold. I was self-conscious and cynical.

These are the pieces of my youth, the small secrets and the not-so-great expectations that defined my coming of age.

But through this craft, through my love for writing, I discovered a world outside of the small windowless one I had built for myself. A world of softspoken beauty. So here I am, choosing to kick away the ladder so that I may remain at your side. I understand your solitude. I see your shadow."-TABLO, PIECES OF YOU

If you would like to purchase this book, please go to one of the following sites. I'm listing the book in cheapest to most expensive on sites. Any other site is ridiculous in price. Trust me, I've checked. Oh and sadly, its not for sale on amazon or barnes and noble.
Please look into it! You wont regret it & I'll do a more formal review later.
