The Emoji Challenge

Siobhan @ Novelties6 Comments

FINALLY! The weekend is here! And I am stoked not to do anything but sleep and read. I think the entire book community knows I am a fiend for emojis. I probably use them way too much and find any reason for using them. So I had to do this challenge Sha and Mandy tagged me in. I want to thank both of you two. I am excited to do this post.

Rules

  • tag the creators @bookprincessreviews
  • share one thing you learned about the person who tagged you
  • for each prompt, you can use a maximum of three emojis
  • tag at least two other bloggers you want to get to know better

What I learned about the both of them is that Mandy doesn’t like TOG (it gets better in the later sequels) and that Sha is Canadian (I had no clue). Before you get to my post, give some love to Mandy and Sha, who created the challenge. And if you don’t feel like answering a few questions, you can always leave your answer blank. I hope you all have fun! Happy weekend!

Do I Have That Book Challenge

Siobhan @ Novelties9 Comments

Happy Saturday, bloggers!

You know, I typically enjoy when the weekend arrives, but I have so much to work on. And I feel as if I need about three more days to sleep so I can handle everything. 😂 So since I love procrastinating, I thought I’d work on a new post instead. I found this challenge on Bibliophagist. Sara hasn’t tagged anyone, but I loved her answers. And I thought it looks like fun.

Enjoy!

Rules

1. Time yourself trying to find each prompt on your shelf
2. Try and beat the time of the person who challenged you.
3. Don’t forget to tag your challenger and the original creator.
4. Have fun!

Three-Day Lyrical Challenge (Take 2 ad Day 3)

Siobhan @ Novelties2 Comments

Morning, book fam,

Finally, the weekend is here! I’ve needed a break from everyday life. Taylor from Nerd Narration tagged me. And I have had such a blast with this challenge.

Before you get to my post, give her some love and visit her blog!

The rules are simple:

  1. Thank the person who nominated you.
  2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
  3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

Today is the final day of the challenge. Over the last few years, my musical taste has changed. And I’m surprised by the songs that interest me and wouldn’t in the past. “Whatever It Takes” is one of those songs.

Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it’s vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
‘Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I’m ready for
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of ’em
Never be enough, I’m the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
‘Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I’m ready for
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don’t wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working onto something that I’m proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we’ve lost
I’m an apostrophe
I’m just a symbol to remind you that there’s more to see
I’m just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I’m half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
‘Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I’m ready for
Whatever it takes
‘Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Tag Time

I love doing this challenge, so if you want to, go ahead. I don’t want bloggers to feel like they have to do this post. If you post it, link back to my post. I’d love to see what you’ve picked!

Hey, everyone!

Taylor from Nerd Narration tagged me for the challenge. And I am stoked to show you the next song.

Like always, I highly suggest that you take a peek at Taylor’s blog. Her working is amazing!

The rules are simple:

  1. Thank the person who nominated you.
  2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
  3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

Today is the second day of the challenge. I’ve heard of only one song by Kaleo, but I can’t get enough of it. Way Down We Go is one song that gets you pumped up, and I love it.

Father tell me, we get what we deserve
Oh we get what we deserve
And way down we go
Way down we go
Say way down we go
Way down we go
You let your feet run wild
Time has come as we all oh, go down
Yeah but for the fall oh, my
Do you dare to look him right in the eyes?
‘Cause they will run you down, down til the dark
Yes and they will run you down, down til you fall
And they will run you down, down til you go
Yeah so you can’t crawl no more
And way down we go
Way down we go
Say way down we go
‘Cause they will run you down, down til you fall
Way down we go
Oh bab-bab-yeah
Wow baby
Baby
Bab, down we go
Yeah
And way down we go
Way down we go
Say way down we go
Way down we go

Tag Time!

Three-Day Lyrical Challenge (Take 2 and Day 1)

Hey, book bloggers!

I’ve been waiting to do this post. Taylor from Nerd Narration tagged me for this challenge. Thank you, Taylor! 💜 I can’t help but agree with her. You all know of my love for books, but not many will realize that music holds a special meaning in my life as well.

Before you get to the rest of my post, check out her blog. Over the last year, I’ve seen Taylor and her blog grow, and I love seeing her posts in my feed.

The rules are simple:

  1. Thank the person who nominated you.
  2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
  3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

Today is the first day of the challenge. One thing you should know about me is that I live for Nine Inch Nails. The band, the lyrics, and the emotions behind this music are what keep me fighting. So without much ado, here is one of my favourite NIN titles!

I’ve become impossible holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flow down the path we
Have chose
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they’ve got to kill what we’ve found
Well they’ve got to hate what we fear
Well they’ve got to make it go away
Well they’ve got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I’m beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I’m inside you
For ever and ever I’m a part of
You and me
We’re in…
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You’re the queen and I’m the king
Nothing else means anything

Tagging!

I don’t want anyone to feel pressured. But I thought you’d like doing this challenge. If you do, link back to my post!
