'I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years . . . I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think.' - The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Oh look guys! Another book review haha. I realise I'm doing a lot of these, but there's no stopping me. (A generous thank you to everyone who has commented and provided their opinions. I realise I've been slacking when it comes to style posts, but I'll get around to more of that later.)
As you might've known, I've been reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower, thanks to Reneta. Despite its acclaimed fame, I find myself on the fence with this one. To be 100% honest, I have extremely neutral thoughts about it. There was a quite a few moments where I lost myself in the book, but other than that I'm more attached to the movie. It might have been because I saw the movie first before reading the book - I broke that rule, sigh. I do feel as if it was hard to perceive the opinions of the other characters in the book. If not for the visible hallucinations depicted in the movie, I wouldn't have a favourite. Anywho, I don't feel that I'm in an appropriate position to rate this book, as it is set in a much different context to mine.
Let's get onto this week's Music Monday picks, shall we?

I discovered this whilst watching MrJoshuaBB's fanmade music video for the song. I'm not usually into these kinds of songs, but this was a well exception.
My friend Pearl has been telling me to listen to more of Foster The People (in exchange for me pleading her to listen to TDCC). I'm not regretting the decision, because I've learned to do a little interpretive dance for this one song. I love it quite a bit, and even used it in my Dr Martens 1490 Cherry Red Smooth review.
This goes waaaay back. My brother showed me this 2 years ago, and I've just found them again on Soundcloud, with lurking remixes. I gave them all a go and this Lenno remix is my favourite.
That's all for now, feel free to leave your opinion! x

Oooh... The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I've just recently finished reading it.
ReplyDeleteI like the Music Monday picks by the way! xx
Thank you Maia! <3
DeleteI would still love to read it just to see whether I like it :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know how that goes for you :)
DeleteAw thank you, I shall check your blog out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually stopped reading Perks a while back because it's so heavy. Definitely not a good book to read if you're going through something tough. But I shall give it another try! And Foster the People, yes!! I was just thinking I need to listen to them some more. :D
ReplyDeleteTake your time, you've got plenty of it. It's nice though, how we're able to relate to some parts of it :) Props to my friend then, I quite like Foster The People now!
