Originally, I had a completely different post planned for today but there’s been a CHANGE OF PLANS BECAUSE I RECEIVED SOME SUPER EXCITING BOOK MAIL YESTERDAY AND I NEED TO TALK SCREAM ABOUT IT.
I absolutely love doing these and I’m happy to see that so many of you guys seem to enjoy them too! I’ve been getting great feedback and loads new people have been participating lately!
Today I’m here to talk about music—or more specifically albums that I have been obsessed with lately! I know this is a book blog, but I absolutely LOVE listening to music whether it’s by my favourite artists or new artists that I’ve discovered! It’s such a big part of my life and I don’t think I ever go a day without music!
What happened to my book buying ban you ask? *sweats nervously*
We don’t talk about that in this household! 😛
No but seriously, I actually did quite well when it comes to buying (or not buying) books this month! All of the books that will be mentioned here had been ordered before I declared my book buying ban in my VERY HUGE AND VERY FANGIRLY BOOK HAUL — they just hadn’t arrived yet at the time!
I have accumulated 9 books in June which is still okay, I believe! And all of these are books that I’ve wanted FOR AGES so that’s another plus 😉
(ALL OF THESE PICTURES ARE MY OWN SO DON’T YOU DARE STEAL THEM OR I WILL THROW BRICKS AT YOU! If you want to use them, you may ask nicely and I’ll see what I can do! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!)
Are you getting sick of me talking about Harry Styles yet?
No? WELL YOU’RE IN LUCK BECAUSE GUESS WHO I’LL BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
You guessed it—Harry Styles.
I’m sorry not sorry if you’re annoyed about this but I HAVE MORE EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE AND I PROBABLY WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS. ENJOY!
Today I’ll be talking about the benefit concert One Love Manchester that was hosted by Ariana Grande. It made my heart so happy and it makes me cry tears of happiness but also pain whenever I think of it.
I admit, I didn’t want to do this tag when I’ve first seen it around but now EVERYONE is doing it and I stumbled across Mandy’s post and her answers to the questions were so on point and I could relate to so many of them so I just had to do it, too!
If you’re not following Mandy yet then you’re really missing out??? She is the queen of Disney princesses, in fact, her entire blog is filled with them! She even has her own Disney Princesses Rating System which is so cool and it amazes me every time! Go follow her blog. Right Now. Yes, I am forcing you.
(Oh by the way, I reread the Shatter Me books at the beginning of the year but I won’t be mentioning them because they’d literally be the answer to EVERY SINGLE QUESTION)
I got back from my Poland trip on Tuesday but I wanted to take 2 more days off instead of immediately diving back into blogging and stressing myself out again.
In the last couple of days/weeks, I’ve been feeling very drained and I was stressed out to the MAX because I felt so pressured to write posts, comment on everyone’s posts, do some blog-hopping, write some more posts and so on and I almost considered taking a break!
But then my Poland trip came along and I pre-wrote a few posts that would go up while I was away. I visited my family for a few days and it was a lot of fun and a great time to relax and not worry about any obligations (including blogging)!
It was really good for me and I had time to reflect and think about some changes I wanted to make to my blog (especially schedule- and content-wise) and I am back to being motivated and HAVING FUN again. Blogging shouldn’t feel like an obligation and I’m glad that I was able to get rid of the pressure that I’ve been putting on myself!

As you might know (if you’ve read my Top 5 Wednesday post), I went to a Little Mix concert last night!!! 😍
It’s already like 6pm and actually, I meant to write this post when I came back from the concert last night but I was so tired and exhausted and hungry and I physically couldn’t bring myself to write it.
And I told myself to write it first thing in the morning but my friend texted me at like 11:50 talking about an assignment that was due at NOON and I was so freakin’ stressed out!!!! I literally pulled the assignment out of my ass and submitted it like 3 hours later and I am PRAYING that I won’t get killed or like kicked out of the class or something LOL.
BUT YEAH. TIME TO FANGIRL!!!
omg how precious do the girls look!!!
I’ve been a fan of Little Mix ever since they were those sweet and innocent souls on X-Factor UK and they’ve turned into these stunning, fierce and confident ladies that make me feel so empowered and strong #WHOGOTTHEPOWER and I’m in love with them!
I’ve seen the girls for the first time last year and me and my sister were SOOOOOO close to the front and it genuinely was one of the best days of my life.
This year, we decided not to go to the venue too early because we were #lazy and #tired but we ended up getting pretty good seats anyway! (It was all GA I guess that’s how y’all call it in America? But you could basically choose if and where you wanted to sit or stand which was really cool!)
Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t allow me to upload videos SO I CAN’T SHOW YOU THE FANTASTIC QUALITY OF MY BELOVED CAMERA (it literally saves my life at every concert, the quality is just ON POINT) but let me show y’all some pictures one (1) picture! (They’re such high quality they take ages to upload/save/share so here’s ONE lol but YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT MY VIDEOS LOOK LIKE FROM THIS PHOTO QUALITY RIGHT??????
If you follow me on Twitter, you can see my Snapchat story from the concert which I’ve just uploaded!
But it was such a fabulous show (not as good as the one last year but still great) and the girls are SO funny and cute and sassy and fierce – ohmigosh how fitting…*Fierce* Fangirl Friday!!!
OH. ALSO…
The Vamps were the support act which was really cool! I proper fancy Brad Simpson aka the lead singer/front man *heart eyes* and after seeing him in concert… well, let’s just say my love for him has grown even more!
He’s such a charming fella and he was so CUTE when he was talking to the crowd and then he got really into it while performing and he was so passionate and a rock star and I was shooketh.
#loveyoubrad
YAY!
My fangirling this week wasn’t AS extreme as last week when I talked about the new Shatter Me books but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t equally as happy and excited about this concert! I guess I’m just spent and exhausted and I need a day to catch up on sleep and everything.
I totally used this Gif for Mandy 😛
PS. This morning I also ordered tickets to see Banks and I am SO HAPPY!!!!!! I’ve been a fan of her for so long and I’ve never seen her live before but now I will! And the show is a day after my birthday, how cool!
You should totaly go and see her if you can!!!!!
PPS. DID YOU SEE THE COVER REVEAL FOR WHICHWOOD AKA QUEEN TAHEREH MAFI’S COMPANION NOVEL TO FURTHERMORE BECAUSE MY EYES HAVE BEEN BLESSED. SEE FOR YOURSELVES:
