Music Friday: My Heart Skips A Beat

I have been so excited about sharing this week.  I heard this song on iTunes Sunday and have listened to it over 50 times already.  The song is Heart Skips A Beat by Olly Murs.  I really don't know much about Olly but he is touring with my favorite boy band at the moment, One Direction.  I've listened to other songs of his and I love them too!  If you like Heart Skips A Beat then I recommend Dance With Me Tonight.  Olly Murs is my favorite artist of the moment.  I really love the acoustic version of Heart Skips A Beat which features Niall from 1D!!!  I hope you guys enjoy!

Here's the acoustic version.

Day 3: 5 Books

It's day 3 of the 30 day challenge.  Today is about 5 of my favorite books and why I love them.  I've always loved reading since I was a kid.  Now I use a Nook which is much better and easier than carrying books around.  Here are my 5 books that I love.

1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I first read this book in high school as a 10th grader.  Ever since then it has been my favorite.  I love all the meanings it has and all it represents.  Everybody should read this book.

2. The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
What girl doesn't love Nicholas Sparks?  This is my favorite out of all his books that I've read so far.  I read this book every summer.  I love how it is about forgiveness and love.  Guarding your heart is not the way to go through life.

3. The Lying Game Series by Sara Shepard
I heard about this series from the ABC Family show.  If you enjoy the show then you will definitely love the books.  It is different than the show but still very good.  I've read all 3 books so far and I can't wait for the next one.  It's suspenseful yet a little romantic.

4. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
This is my favorite author.  I also read this book in high school.  It is about intense issues but it is relatable to most young adults.  I liked that it deals with real issues and situations.

5. Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen
I read this after the movie was out.  It's much better than the movie, which most books are.  Elephants are my favorite animal so that's one reason I love it.  I also just love the era it was set in.

Day 2: 3 Fears

It's day 2 of the 30 day blog challenge.  Today's topic is describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.  Let's get to it!

1. Heights
I'm deathly afraid of heights and always have been.  I first realized it when I was 13 or 14.  I went to a concert and was sitting in the nose bleed section.  For some reason I looked straight down and almost fainted.

2. Spiders
I've been scared of spiders since I was a kid.  My older sister always scared me with those fake ones.  A few years ago I went camping, which I also hate.  The next day my arm was all red and infected from a spider bite. So now I am even more scared of them.

3. Tornado's
I'm not sure why I'm so scared of tornado's.  I slept through an actual one when I was little, so I think that's where it came from.
