J&W
The fire burned ferociously, crackling louder than the poundings in her heart. She knelt before the man with her head lowered down to his boots that were ever so shiny with the glow of the fire. For reasons only she knew, she refused to look at the man’s face though she knew it would be full of smug. She had finally come back to the man, laying on her knees. They said nothing. Neither were at a loss for words, but yet they would not say a single one.
These are the first painting from my synesthesia art livestream: Lewis Collins', Gordon Jackson's, Martin Shaw's, Stephan Fry's, Natalie Portman's, and Keira Knightley's.
I'm planning another stream on Twitch at the same time (7:30pm GMT) next Sunday, so if anyone has any requests, please join in and ask me!
Potato quality and terrible audio but enough to decide if you want to purchase a DVD, being it’s about what it’s about. Tubby Hubby’s bum is early on.
the 20 books I want to read the most in 2020
1. IT - Stephen King
Genre: Horror
For someone who loves the horror genre, it’s surprising that I haven’t read any of Stephen King’s books. I’ve decided that this year I’ll read my first King book and start with IT, as it has been recommended to me by friends (though a certain scene has gained mixed responses).
2. The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton
Genre: Young Adult
Last year I was given this book, and despite wanting to read it badly, I still haven’t read it - hopefully next year I will finally read it. S. E. Hinton also started writing this when they were fifteen, so bonus points.
3. Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Genre: Allegory
Commonly referred to as a “modern classic”, I really want to read ‘Lord of the Flies’. I’ve actually started this book before, but gave up (that’s not a reflection on my enjoyment of the book, it’s a reflection on my crippling migraine). This book is also responsible for me discovering that there is a Nobel Prize for Literature - I previously had no idea that that existed.
4. A Street Cat Named Bob - James Bowen
Genre: Autobiography
I saw the film adaption of this when it first came out in 2016, and even though I loved it, I never got around to reading the book - fingers crossed 2020 is the year I finally get around to reading it.
5. Mythos - Stephen Fry
Genre: Non-fiction
I absolutely love Greek mythology (eleven year-old me was a Percy Jackson stan to be honest), so I’m very excited to gain a more in depth understanding of Greek mythology by reading ‘Mythos’.
6. Why Mummy Doesn’t Give A ****! - Gill Sims
Genre: Comedy
The ‘Why Mummy...’ series is probably one of the funniest book series I’ve ever read - lighthearted and hilarious, I will probably read this in between some of the heavier stuff I plan on reading.
7. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Genre: Thriller
I tried reading this book earlier on in the year, but gave up about one-hundred pages in - I really want to like this book, so I’ll try it again in 2020.
8. The Messenger - Markus Zusak
Genre: Young Adult
‘The Book Thief’ is one of my favourite books ever, if not my favourite book of all time. It’s so well written, and if ‘The Messenger’ is half as well written, I’ll enjoy it thoroughly.
9. The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman
Genre: Fantasy
In May I was given this book, and, surprise surprise, I didn’t get around to reading it. Apparently it’s amazing, so I look forward to reading it next year.
10. Autoboyography - Christina Lauren
Genre: Young Adult
Out of all of the books on this list, I am probably looking forward to reading this book the most. Even though I haven’t read any of Christina Lauren’s previous books, I am very excited to read ‘Autoboyography’ - really hoping that this doesn’t disappoint.
11. The Invention of Wings - Sue Monk Kidd
Genre: Historical Fiction
Recommended to me by my history teacher last year, I’ve been desperate to read it ever since. My grandparents have also spoken very highly of this book, so I really hope that it doesn’t disappoint.
12. The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
Genre: Non-fiction
As someone who finds religion to be a very interesting topic, I am very excited to read ‘The God Delusion’. Though to be honest, I am only aware of this books existence because Camilla and Jamie mentioned it on Love Island in 2017.
13. Precious - Sapphire
Genre: Urban Fiction
I brought this book all the way back in August of 2018, but lost my copy and only found it again yesterday. With a wide range of positive review, I am looking forward to this book a lot.
14. Mirror, Mirror - Cara Delevingne
Genre: Mystery
I’ll be the first to admit that I am only reading this because it was written by Cara Delevingne - it’s not the type of book I’d usually gravitate towards; it was the authors name that grabbed my attention. However, I do like Cara Delevingne, and I am interested to see how good a writer she is.
15. Surrounded by Idiots - Thomas Erikson
Genre: Non-fiction
As someone who is very interested in psychology, I am very excited to read ‘Surrounded by Idiots’. A bestseller in Sweden, I have high hopes for this book.
16. The Miseducation of Cameron Post - Emily M. Danforth
Genre: Young Adult
The film adaption of Danforth’s novel is one of my favourite films, and I really recommend that anyone with a Netflix account checks it out. Another book I have very high hopes for, there’s a strong possibility I will be crushed if this book disappoints.
17. Becoming - Michelle Obama
Genre: Memoir
I absolutely love the Obama’s, and am so excited to read Michelle Obama’s autobiography. I am so inspired by her, and cannot wait to read about her life experiences.
18. Turtles All the Way Down - John Green
Genre: Young Adult
John Green is one of my favourite authors, and I’ve loved almost every book of his that I’ve read - ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ and ‘Looking For Alaska’ are some of my favourite books ever (though I was disappointed by ‘An Abundance of Katherines’). Hopefully ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ is one of Green’s better books, and fingers crossed it will bring me to tears.
19. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Genre: Tragedy
Not only is ‘The Great Gatsby’ a classic, it’s one of my grandparents favourite books - another book I really want to like, I’m really hoping this book will live up to its reputation.
20. Two Boys Kissing - David Levithan
Genre: Young Adult
Another book centred around LGBT teens, I am very excited to read this book. Maybe I’m so excited to read this because I find it easier to relate to queer characters, but whatever the reason, I’m incredibly excited to read this.
