Sooo, this is your typical "I'm Back" kind of post. . .

Hello!

How do you think #musicvideomonth went?  I felt like it was successful, I wrote a ton of words towards a story NaNoWriMo, and you guys got to see some of my favorite music videos that are out there right now.  As a matter of fact, I loved #musicvideomonth so much I've decided to start doing #musicvideomonday.  It's pretty self explanatory.  Every Monday a music video.  Sounds fun, right?

Since we're rolling right into the end of the year (possibly the end of time, right?) This monday will be a special Holiday themed music video that is actually my number 1 favorite Christmas song.

What can I say? I'm super excited about December folks!  I'm going to be posting my "favorites" lists of albums, tracks, and books that have come out this year, and although I haven't been posting book reviews, I've been reading a lot of books and writing the reviews on them, just in time for the holidays!  I realize that some of you reading this may only want to see the music stuff and vice versa.  So here is the schedule so you don't feel like you're wasting your time checking this every day:

Monday: Music Video Monday

Tuesday: Track on Tuesday

Wednesday: Book Review

Thursday: Book Review

Friday: Flashback Friday (this will be either an older record, or an older book)

Saturday: LP Saturday

To finish off, I love comments here, and all of the lovely people that I've found through Twitter, Facebook, and GoodReads.  Here is a lovely rendition of The Tallest Man on Earth's The Dreamer by Frans Schuman.  I loved this cover, I hope you do too! (And if you click this link you can download a free track from his album!) Enjoy.




To whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you are able to spend it with those you love.  I'll be spending mine drinking obscene amounts of Candy Cane hot coca reading Jane Eyre (December tradition) and going ice skating (at least once).

Until Next Time,

read, listen, love,

Keaton Henson - Always on My Mind

Have you heard of this guy yet? Because I sure hadn't until I received the lovely Communion newsletter this morning.

If you aren't already receiving Communions weekly newsletter filled with everything awesome,

click here

It's quick and it's so worth it!
(You get a free four track sampler just for signing up, and a free track of the week every week!)

 Also, in my tumblr perusing I've found this, which I think is neat.
 
 Also, the paperback of this book came out last week, and I think this is one of my favorite covers so far this year.
(which is funny, because it's the author's favorite too!)

Check back tomorrow for LP Sunday, because this one is really special.  I've spent most of this week working on it, and I'm really excited to be posting it.

Until next time,

read, listen, love,

A Note from Me...

Hello lovely blogger darlings,

You may have noticed a little bit of an update in the site.  (Massive thanks to my brother who took the incredible photos!)  And a little bit of a downgrade in the amount of posts.  Here is why:

School starts back up in the fall, and six posts a week is slightly challenging.  I want my reviews and recommendations to be the best that they can be, however, trying to add my final year of university classes onto six posts a week isn't going to work, so a new schedule is in the works that will include a Track on Tuesday every week, two book reviews, and an LP Saturday (or Sunday).

I'm sure there will be some playlists and a couple of giveaways here and there, but for now, that's how things are starting to roll.

Until next time,
read, listen, love,
-E
