New Playlist

How's everyone doing? I just can't wait for the weekends to come... Just so you know, I've edited my playlist, adding new tracks to it. (YAY!)

Firstly, it's David Archuleta's new single, Something Bout Love, which has such a catchy chorus. I have also added a cover of Taio Cruz's smashing hit, "Dynamite", by Alex Goot. Alex Goot has an amazing voice and is very talented. He is a one man band as you will see in the video, playing the guitar, piano, drums and more.

Also added is " So Big", by Iyaz, who sang the hits " Replay" and "Solo". Persoally, I love the song " The Hardest Thing" by Tyler Ward a lot. It's a really heartwarming and beautiful song. It plays right after "So Big".

Hope you like the new songs! Feel free to suggest some songs you think I should add. Looking forward to reading your comments

Book Review 4

Title: The Last Ivisible Boy
Author: Evan Kuhlman
I came across this book in a bookshop. It had an interesting cover and title so I decided to buy it and read it. It has received good comments from authors, most noticably Jeff Kinney, the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Yes, this is a diary as well. A diary of a boy named Findlay Abner Garrett but I'll be just calling him Finn. Finn has a younger brother named Derek and is not just any normal kid at school. Oh, and he has a girlfriend called Melanie.

Somewhere after the start of the story, Finn shares with us that his father had passed away and how much Finn and the whole family missed him. It was a huge tragedy and Finn was devastated. From then on, Finn turned whiter and paler day by day as he shares with us stories and his daily activities.

Finn wants to return to the black haired boy he used to be. He thinks that him turning white has something to do with his father's death. Will there be a happy ever after? You'll have to find out for yourself!

Personally, I think this is a rather sad story. I feel very sorry for Finn. This is one of those stories that will stay with me for a long long time. One point is that the story doesn't really suit the title.

This book is available at most reliable bookshops at $9.90 and looks like this:

World Cup Finals AND MORE

So, the finals will take place in around 4 1/2 hours between Spain and Holland. Paul and Mani disagree with each other's predictions, it's going to be a hell of a match and Spain is going to win. I'm hoping we don't go to penalties so i get an extra hour of sleep.

School starts at 9 tomorrow! How good is that? No reading period nor flag raising. School ends 1 hour later as such. I'm going to get some sleep and will wake up at 2.29am. I woud like to take this opportunity to thank Channel 5 for broadcasting the finals.

I'm on the verge of finishing reading another book, The Last Invincible Boy, and I'll review it soon. So far so good. Will post again soon!
