I need to tell you something...

Hey guys this is a special edition blog post, its not an everyday thing @random because its too special.

So I have this best friend/sister. She is super gorgeous and very very intelligent. I am making this blog post dedicated to my intelligent caring and loyal Mary. I offended her yesterday by just joking about but she didn't take it as a joke and it really affected me because she does not get upset that often. I know her better than anyone so I do not know why I even made the pathetic joke.

Like I mentioned she is really clever and in all the top sets with me. Sometimes I feel so intimidated by her because she seems just so wise even at this age. She really wants to be a paediatrician when she is older and she is just so determined which is the reason I became friends her with her. I am lucky to have her in my life. She is one of those tough love people which I say is caring but she disagrees. She will say things to you that you will want to scratch her eyes out for but I always follow it because I know she says things for the right reason and she is almost always right. I love you Mary don't you ever forget it! You WILL be a paediatrician and the best! She recently started her own blog called voguemerge and I hope you will check it out.

Mary I could describe you with thousands of adjectives but summing you up, you are extraordinarily special.

Blog's you should follow and book recommendations/music

Hey guys this is just another everyday thing@random! Enjoy.

I have not been posting recently because I don't really want to post to much in case people get bored. I have recently been checking out other peoples blogs and it is really fun. You are able to enjoy reading other peoples posts that are different to your style of blogging. Not all the blogs are on Blogger because as you know there are many different blog sites. My friend Maryam recently made a blog on word press called 'voguemerge'. She is completely different to my style but then again similar in some ways. She has only posted 2 blog posts but she is very interesting. She explains well and I enjoy her posts, not just because she is my friend. I don't have any subscribers at the minute but I do however, have over 500 views. So if you guys could check her out and subscribe to her that would be great :). I really want to motivated her to keep writing.

So that was the first topic of this blog done. I have written a blog post before about book recommendations but I have some new books that you all need to try. So I recently stepped over my comfort zone in to a whole new world of reading. In my English class we all read 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. He is such a great writer and the whole book is basically from the animals point of view about communism, corruption and other. He wrote it to explain what he thought was happening in the Russian Revolution at that time. I loved the book so much that when told to read the first chapter I read the whole book in under 2 hours. It is not particularly thick either it is a small book. So my teacher said that I could read another book of his which was '1984' by George Orwell of course. It was more than interesting and it was just so real and I really cannot describe it well enough. I returned the book fully read I think 2 days after it was given to me. My teacher then said I could either write and essay about Animal Farm like the rest of the class or an essay about 1984. I chose Animal Farm. 

My teacher then gave me a book similar to 1984 which was called 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury. It was a dystopian novel published in 1953. It was very different and of course a great read. I started to really read books that I wouldn't normally read. So I thank my teacher Mr Burns for those 2 books!

I also began reading books written by Jodi Picoult. I can honestly say I have never ever cried at any novel because I am not really like that no matter how emotional a book is. She completely changed that. If you see her books they are very thick and I managed to read them in under a couple of days. I began imagining the exact scenes and everything that was taking place. She just had me hooked! I read book by book and I finished every Jodi Picoult book in my school Library. She write mostly the same kind of topic but each in a different way. The 2 books that made me cry were 'The Story Teller' 'Change of Heart'. It was just so gripping moving and powerful. As you guessed I read them in under 2 days. 

I am allowed to read young adult books but if you do want to read them and you are 13 or under please consult your parents and ask their permission because their is a reason it is for young adults. Next I move on to music recommendations. 

Again my English teacher told me about this band called Led Zeppelin. If you are a modern RnB fan skip this paragraph! I listen to a lot of old rock and roll. Led Zeppelin are of course Rock and Roll but also folk. I listened to one song and immediately fell in to a trance and started listening to all the songs. I am not one of those people who like buys albums and listens to the songs on that album. I pick random songs from a long long playlist and just listen. I don't even know what the name of the albums are. Led Zeppelin are different and just full on amazing. First listen to 'stairway to heaven' and then if you like that listen to the rest. Some other favourites of mine are Guns and Roses of course because they are just awesome. I love Patience, Sweet Child Of Mine, November Rain and lots more. I like the Rolling Stones but I don't listen to that many of their songs. I love Gimme Shelter, Tumbling Dice, Monkey man and their cover of Sympathy For The Devil. Last but not least, QUEEN. I am one of their biggest fans. I just picked a couple songs up from the tv and then I just kept listening to other tracks. Now my phone is filled with Queen. I could give you recommendations but I would be here forever. 

Randomly, I like songs from TV shows such as Sons Of Anarchy. I like the random songs like Battle Me 'hey, hey, my,my'. Shooter Jennings 'All of this could've been'. The whistler 'The White Buffalo'. Noah Gunderson 'David' and thousands more!

WOW, this was a long post. I will put at the bottom all of the books and recommendations etc. I hope you enjoyed this long post. You probably won't comment or subscribe but as usual I will tell you!
