IT'S BEEN A YEAR?!

Where has the time flown, eh? I cannot believe that it has been one whole year since I've started this blog, I just can't even. Anyway, I'd just like to thank everyone that has been reading this thing, you're just the bee's knees. We didn't manage to make it to the 1000 pageviews mark but I'm sure we will make it soon! I seriously cannot believe that after 20-odd blog posts I have nearly 1000 pageviews, it's just amazing. 

Thanks so much. If you'de like to see any specific posts please just let me know because that would be great!

P.S. I seriously cannot thank you enough for what you have done, you have spurred me to keep up this whole blog shabang and made me really quite proud of it. So thanks for that :)

IT'S ALMOST THE BIRTHDAY

The title of this post probably confused you quite a fair bit, but have no fear. Next week (28/10/2014) it will be exactly one year since I've started this blog. Wow, that sounds weird to say. 
Anyway, I would like to set a goal for all of us for next week. At the minute this blog has 900 pageviews, and I'd like to see if we could get to 1000 for our one year anniversary. I will attempt to plan something spectacular but I'm not the most creative. I'll maybe ask Sarah (trisgirlonfire), she's pretty creative. Anyhow, I'm challenging you to try to get us to 1000 pageviews by next week, so tell your friends guys. I'll be keeping the tally up to date on twitter so you can keep track of how we are doing on there.

I seriously cannot thank you people enough,

Soundtracks

I don't know if it's just because I'm a big music fan or just because they're genius but I love a good soundtrack. Because I have such love for the music of films, I thought I'd share some of the music I especially love that can be found in some brilliant films. I'll be listing them from 1 to 5 of my very favourite down. Anyway, here goes:

1. The Fault in Our Stars

It's like the producers combined some of the best pieces of music and put it into one album. I absolutely frickin' adore this album and it was played pretty much non-stop throughout my summer this year.

2. Catching Fire

The music in Catching Fire isn't at all like the songs in The Fault in Our Stars, first of all because it's aimed to create different emotions and second of all because it's all instrumental. However, I still love a good instrumental piece and these ones are just great.

3. The Maze Runner

This one comes very closely behind Catching Fire. Even though it was just recently released, there are still some amazing pieces in this album that just create the exact type of tension needed for the movie. Just fab tbh.

4. Divergent

These ones are a bit like TFIOS ones in the fact that they're wordy, if that makes any sense. Just some pretty damn good songs on this one as well tbh. I'm kind of running out of things to say here.

5. The Day After Tomorrow

Now this one kind of goes against the recurring theme that we had going a minute ago but I just have to mention the musical masterpiece that is this soundtrack. Like srsly.

Now, you may be wondering where some of the other dearly beloved soundtracks are. Don't get me wrong I do love other soundtracks, but to be honest I wasn't sure where to slot them in around the ones I already have. I also wanted to make this post be as short-ish as I could make it. Anyway some of the other soundtracks that are also amazing are all of the Harry Potter ones and The Hunger Games and other things of that sort. 

Right, you can now go ahead and buy all of these soundtracks so we can love them together. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

What are your favourite soundtracks, because I seriously need to know so I can go get them.

I'm also running out of ideas of things to post, so please leave some sorts of creative ideas for me on twitter, greatly appreciated.

THE MAZE RUNNER

You may have noticed from my twitter over the last couple of months but I have been very excited for the arrival of 'The Maze Runner' movie. I did a post on the books back in July (link here) and expressed my love for the series and seeing it on the big screen has made our bond even stronger. I have to say, the movie is not exactly the same as the book which at some points didn't bother me but at other points did. I'm not going to tell you what bits because then it would be a spoiler for the people that haven't seen it or read it yet. Anyway, the film came out earlier in America and came out yesterday (10th October) for us Brits, just to let ya know.

Anyway, enough blabbering, the books were great (not too keen on the ending though) and the film was also amazing. Loved it. Go watch it if you haven't already but make sure to read the book first, or else it will be spoiled. 

Also, Dylan O'Brien and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are brilliant. 

Link to the trailer here.

See ya, runners.

W.C.K.D. is good.

PAPER TOWNS

Okay, forgive me if I'm wrong, but is Paper Towns not just like fricking amazing? John Green is a genius if you ask me. I, as you can tell, am a huge fan of John Green because he is just amazing, okay? Anyway, this Paper Towns was no exception.

As you know, I'm appalling at descriptions so here is the blurb on the book:

'Quentin Jacobson has always loved Margo from afar, so when she climbs through his window to summon him on an all-night road trip of revenge he cannot help but follow. But the next morning, Q turns up at school and Margo doesn't. She's left clues to her disappearance, like a trail of breadcrumbs for Q to follow. 

Any everything leads to one unavoidable question:

Who is the real Margo?'

FabuLouS, i KnoW. (and if you've read the book you will get the whole capitalisation thing I did there).

Anyway, I thought the book was great, but what about you? What books would you recommend for me because I need to know! Leave me a comment or send me a tweet to let me know your thoughts/feels.

See ya,

Emma (@heartingTHG)
