Hola peeps!
How is everyone enjoying the
British summer! It is delicious and very rare!
Today, I thought I would attempt to
write my Favourites blog post because I do actually have a lot to talk about!
1. 8 Tracks
So firstly, I am going to start
with an app called 8 tracks. Now, this app is amazing if you just want to
listen to music without having to keep finding songs you want to listen to on YouTube.
It is basically a collection of playlists with lots of different genres made by
users. There are so many different types - ones for studying, working out and
ones for relaxing! It has really helped me concentrate when I have had lots of
work to be getting on with!
2. The Great Gatsby

Now, I had to read this book as
part of my English course and be ready to have a speaking assessment, answering
questions about it. Unfortunately, I got King Lear instead of this amazing
book! It is quite rare for me to actually like a book, let alone still enjoy it
after months and months of analysing it, writing essays on it as well as
presentations! As it was written in the 1920s, it brings little things that we
relish and treasure and want to develop and read into. After the film was
released in May, I have seen it twice - one with my family and another as part
of an English trip! It isn't usual for a film to tell a classic without
changing it and ruining it. But the Baz Luhrmann one does. Therefore, it comes
highly recommended! Also the soundtrack is amazing - another thing that you can
listen to on 8 tracks.
3. Putting cookies in the microwave
Why haven't more people done this?
It is an amazing thing to do as cookies come out all warm and squidgy with
melted chocolate! They are also amazing with ice cream! So the next time you
have a cookie, put it in the microwave!
4. Twitter
Normally, I was what people would call
a 'twitter stalker', i.e. I wouldn't post anything but instead re tweet,
favourite and read everyone else's tweets. However, in the month of June. I
have become one of those people who will fill up your twitter feed! It has
become so addictive, which is probably a bad thing but I do feel a lot more
connected to people which is a good thing!
5. The White Queen

If you don't know what the white
queen is, I suggest you go and watch it. It is a miniseries that has been
released by the BBC this summer! It is fabulous! It tells the story of the
relationship between Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, who latter becomes
Queen of England. It is amazing thing to watch on a Sunday night, and I am
afraid I have become extremely addicted to it! So addicted that I downloaded
the book for the kindle and read it in less than 3 days - that was also amazing
too! Philippa Gregory is an amazing writer, telling the story of the War of the
Roses. So, if you are interested in medieval history, romance, women’s
perspective or even politics and the way people react - you will enjoy this
book!
Also, the guy that plays Edward IV,
Max Irons is pretty hot as well!
