Porter Robinson's new album "Nurture"!

 Last Friday, I heard Just a snip-it of the end of the Podcast, Sound Exchange. But that little bit spurred me on to find the song. Reader, I found it.

Porter Robinson's newest album "Nurture" just came out and I got his whole album. I've played it pretty much all day long. I don't know when I'll stop.

Below are two songs I think you might like.

Porter Robinson - Get your Wish

 This is the song that had me hunting for this man's name. There's a happy nostalgic beauty to it. I absolutly love it!

Porter Robinson - dullscythe

 At first, I thought that something was wrong with my browser, the clip I heard was breaking apart. Then, when I listened to the whole thing I totally got his concept. This song is like a dull blade. As the song progresses, it sharpens like a Scythe against a whetstone. It is so incredibly deep and gorgeous. 

I hope you liked those two songs. As always, feel free to leave a message below.

Camila Cabello's Don't Go Yet is......... my family's theme song?

 Honest to goodness, Every family get together is like this, "Wait a minute, before you go, I have to tell you this..." Or "Before I go, Let me tell you...". It never ends. I'm not complaining. I've been guilty of this myself so I have no room to point fingers. I'm just saying that I get it.

It's nice to know we're not the only quirky, clingy family around. And yes, I am the type of person who would cling to your leg and beg you to stay. If that didn't work, I try and make you take me with you. And I'm not the clingy one in my house. I don't make myself sick because you left me. No, I'm not naming names. You Know who you are.

I'm totally going to play this the next time we all manage to get together. Whenever that will be. I personally think the Pandemic made the clinginess worse.

Space Crunch!

 My dad is eating up my data space on my usb drives. So, I'm experiencing a bit of a space crunch. If I can compress, I will. If I have copies, you better believe one will disappear into the ether of deletion.

I am going to get him his Own Micro SD Card. I am freaking out. I need space and one of my USB drives is missing.

It's Book Season!

 I am so psyched that all the new books are coming out this fall. All these new books, all these new adventures! As you may have guessed, I love books. I do not know how may ebooks I currently have. At last count a few months ago, I was in the 19,000s.

No, I have not read them all. Yes, I do want to read them all. And No, I do not have a problem that requires me to talk to a therapist. Does that answer all your questions?

I can't even begin to tell you all the new books I am eagerly awaiting. There are simply too many.  Look for yourselves and I hope you find A book that you can crawl into. You know that Winter is coming and it's the perfect time to curl up with a mug of hot chocolate and a book.

What Lies Beneath by Marissa Doyle review

As many of may or may not know, I sometimes review books for Librarything's Early Reviewer Program. I love getting sneak peeks at books most won't get out for a couple of months. It makes me feel a little special, especially when the book is autographed. Anyway, I won What Lies Beneath by Marissa Doyle last month. Below is the Official Blurb.....

 It’s 1917, and everyone is doing their bit now that America has entered the Great War—everyone except 17-year-old Emma Verlaine. Her overprotective dad won’t let her go to nursing school while he’s off doing war work; instead, she’s been sent to stay for the summer with her Gran on an island off Cape Cod, and the most she’ll be able to do for the war effort is knit socks. Socks!

As it happens, island life isn’t so bad. There are the seals that seem even more fascinated by her than she is by them. There’s the new Navy Air Station that guards the coast from German U-boats where she’s determined to get a job. But most of all there’s Malcolm, whose family owns a resort hotel on the island and who gives her swimming lessons and delicious kisses.

But danger lurks in the waters off the island. Only Emma can save her new home—if she accepts that everything she thought she knew about her life is a lie, and that the seals are following her for a very good reason… 

 

There are a several of things I adored about this book. First of all, the early 1900's is one of my favorite time periods, so this book already had much going in it's favor. Secondly, Ms.Doyle did a wonderful job alternating between two point of views so that we can get a wider scope of the story. Emma and Malcolm almost seem to come alive as you read. The cover art just tells you it's going to be awesome.

 What Lies Beneath is simply captivating. I'm putting it on my re-read shelf and recommending it to YA Fantasy lovers. I don't think it will disappoint.
