Friday Playlist: 19 You+Me by Dan+Shay

Hey guys! :) This week for the Friday Playlist is 19 You + Me by Dan + Shay. I heard this song on the radio just a couple weeks ago for the first time ever and just completely fell in love with their voices and this song. Not only is it a cute song, but these two boys have an amazing voice that sounds like that of an angel (if you couldn't tell...I love their voices). I actually loved this song so much that I got the whole album! And I will just say...it's totaly worth it. Every song on the album is just as amazing! If you wanna check out the video click on "19 You + Me" right down below! :)Warning...You will experience major feels! 

  19 You + Me

Lyrics:  It was our first week
At Myrtle Beach
Where it all began

It was 102°
Nothin' to do
Man it was hot
So we jumped in

We were summertime sippin', sippin'
Sweet tea kissin' off of your lips
T-shirt drippin', drippin' wet
How could I forget?

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me

We had our first dance in the sand
It was one hell of a a souvenir
Tangled up, so in love
So, let's just stay right here

'Til the sun starts creepin', creepin' up
Right then I knew
Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of
When I looked at you

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
...you and me

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me

First week in myrtle beach where it all began..

Friday Playlist: I See Fire by Ed Sheeran

Today's song is I See Fire sung by Ed Sheeran. This song is from The Hobbit. An amazing book by J.R.R. Tolkien that was turned into a three part movie. So far two parts of the film have been in theaters and the third and final film comes out December 17th 2014. Amazing book and amazing movies. I've read the book over and over and seen the movie just as much! If you wanna check out the video, click "I See Fire" right below. :)

  "I See Fire"

   Lyrics:  Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side high

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

Book Description- " "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" ad attracts dozens for mind-bending tests readers may try. Only two boys and two girls succeed for a secret mission, undercover and underground into hidden tunnels. At the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, the only rule is - there are no rules."

   First things first, I am so so sorry I didn't get this out till FRIDAY!! Wow! That's WAY late! So very sorry, it has just been a crazy week. 
   I love this book. For many reasons. The first being its definetly a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from begining to end. This is only the begining of a journey of 5 books. 
The second reason I love this book so much is that you feel as much a part of the story as the characters. You are left to figure this mystery out along with the characters. I feel like this is a very interactive book. 
  The third reason this book is so great is because I feel like you learn so much. Whether its thinking outside the box, or being a friend to those who need one, or figureing out just what you're capable of.
   I definitely recommend you read this book, it wont let you down! 


    *SIDE NOTE- I'm again so sorry this was late and also sorry its so short. I wrote this last minute and didnt really have time to plan a review and make it well written. I promise to get a head start on next weeks review and make it a good one! :) But on the plus side...you guys get a Friday Playlist song today!

Friday Playlist: Human by Christina Perri

Okay guys, this weeks Friday Playlist song is Human by Christina Perri, and honestly guys, this song means a lot to me right now. Ive taken this song on as my theme song. The lyrics are beautiful, and so is her voice. This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. It's one of those songs that I can relate to, especially at this moment in time. I hope you guys find this song just as meaningful as I do...If you wanna listen to the song just click "Human" right below. :)

     "Human"

   Human lyrics:
 I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

Identity Theft by Anna Davies

Book Description: The third title in our exciting relaunch of Point Horror!

Hayley is going to have the best year ever. After years of careful planning, she's ready to serve as student council president AND editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Ivy League, here she comes!

However, just before student council elections, someone creates a fake facebook profile for Hayley and starts posting inappropriate photos and incriminating updates. It must be the work of a highly skilled Photoshopper, but the attention to detail is scary. The embarrassing photos of "Hayley" in her bathing suit reveal a birthmark on her back--a birth mark Hayley has never shown in public. . . .

The situation escalates until Hayley's mother reveals some shocking information. Hayley isn't an only child: She has a twin sister who was adopted by a different family. And that's not all. Soon, Hayley discovers that her long-lost sister isn't just playing a prank--she's plotting to take over Hayley's life . . . by any means necessary.

  Okay guys, in all honesty, I didn't really like this book very much. I love the idea she had for the book, it just wasn't very well written. And while you may be able to relate to certain things in some of the characters life, Its not one of those books where you bond with a specific character. I found the characters (especially Hayley) very annoying and very hard to handle. You spend most of the book wondering when she is going to become more approachable (in a reading sense). The book is kinda short so it didn't take me long to finish, so I was able to read the whole thing, but I think if this would have been a longer book I wouldn't have made it through. It just wasn't well written and it was hard to sit through. So if you would like to read this book, I recommend borrowing from a library...not one I would recommend you go out and buy.

Friday Playlist: The Only Reason by 5SOS

Its that time of the week again (and I have to admit its my favorite part), its time for the Friday Playlist!! And this weeks song is one of my new favorites The Only Reason by 5SOS! I absolutely cant wait to see them perform at the One Direction concert in Chicago this summer! Amazing vocals and amazing song! :)This song is one I think many teenagers can relate to! I know I can... So just click "The Only Reason" down below to hear the song! :)

     The Only Reason

   "The Only Reason"

Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
Tell me, is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line
Taking back the time we can't replace

All the crossed wires,
Just making us tired
Is it too late to bring us back to life?

When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason

I feel you burning under my skin
I swear I see you shining
Brighter than the flame inside your eyes

Bitter words spoken,
Everything broken
It's never too late to bring us back to life


Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason
Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason

Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
