Music I've Been Listening To Recently

 Hi everyone! Today's post is pretty short. I've been listening to a lot of music recently, and I thought I'd share some of my favorites.
Summer Nights [Glee Cast Version]
I mean, first of all, it just reminds me of summer. Secondly, I first started watching Glee around this time last year, so I think nostalgia is a factor for why I've been listening to it. And, also, it's just a great duet.
Monsters and Fairies-Savannah
I feel like she isn't a very well-known singer, which is sad because she's so talented. I love so much of her music, but this song might be my favorite of hers. It has such a powerful message. 
Nowhere To Be Found, Fingertips and I'll Never Know-Savannah


These two are also great songs. She has a lot of other great songs, but these are the ones I've been listening to the most. Also, I love her style! Her hair is absolutely amazing. 
Girls Like Girls-Hayley Kiyoko
Okay, so the music video isn't linking for whatever reason, but you should definitely look it up on YouTube. 
Come to think of it, it may have inspired a WIP I wrote [except, like, with supernatural elements].
Burn/Traitor Mashup-Phillipa Soo and Olivia Rodrigo
I'm not a big fan of Traitor as a song, but when it's mixed with Burn? I love it.
Albums
The entire Hamilton soundtrack
This is such a good musical! Ever since watching it, I've been re-listening to it. I love all of the songs, but my favorites are ''My Shot'', ''Burn'', ''Satisfied'', ''Guns and Ships'', ''The Room Where It Happened'' and ''Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story''. What are yours?
Lover-Taylor Swift
I just love the whole vibe of this album. It's perfect for summer. I kind of want to live in one of her Lover music videos. My favorite songs from this album are ''Lover'', ''False God'', ''Soon You'll Get Better'', ''I Forgot That You Existed'', ''Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince'' and ''You Need to Calm Down.'' 
Sour-Olivia Rodrigo
I love almost every song on this album. I completely get why it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I really like it. I wish ''Brutal'', ''Enough For You'' and ''Jealousy, Jealousy'' had been out when I wrote my last WIP because they fit the story so well. Well, except for ''Traitor.'' I think some of them are overplayed, but I still like the songs. Some of my favorites are ''brutal'', ''deja vu'', ''enough for you'', ''jealousy, jealousy'' and ''hope ur okay.'' 
So, that's what I've been listening to lately. What about you? What are some of your favorite current songs?
Have you heard any of these?

    Thank you for introducing me to Savannah's music, I just listened to her song "Monsters and Fairies" and her voice is beautiful.💙

    I haven't heard much of the other music you listed, though I have listened to a few of Taylor Swift's songs. :)

      Lots of Hamilton, mostly. I've also been listening to a few of my other favorites (Mean Girls, Heathers, Wicked, Six, Newsies, Dear Evan Hansen, Beetlejuice, Hadestown, etc). Which musicals have you been listening to?

      A few from Frankenstein: A New Musical, And Jekyll and Hyde musical. :) They're both obscure musicals, but I love the music from them. Have you discovered any new singers or bands recently? I have. :D

      Oh cool, I recently found a band called Blackbriar and their music is inspired by fairy tales and mythology, so I love them. :)

    Loved this! I'm always curious what music people listen to. I hadn't heard of Savanah but she sounds really familiar and now I'm stuck here not being able to place it. Maybe I'd heard her somewhere else before. Nice to have a name for her though.
    I always love a good mashup song.
    Lover is such a good album too.

      Thanks! Hmm, maybe you've heard one of her songs before? She also has a YouTube channel, I think, so maybe you've seen one of her videos.
      Yup, same.
      It is!

    I love Olivia Rodrigo's music. Hadn't heard of Savannah, but she's good!

      Yess, she has so many great songs!
      I hadn't heard of her until recently either. I'm surprised her music isn't more famous, because she's really talented.

August Recap

Image
Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n...

The Fandom Tag

 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening...

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and...
