Weekly Round Up (01.15.12)

These were my 5 most listened to tunes from the last week, according to last.fm:

1. Carwars by Funeral Party
2. I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by Blake Stratton (have you heard this cover??? It is amazing)
3. Squealing Pigs by Admiral Fallow
4. Colours (Teen Daze Remix) by Young Liars
5. Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) by Gotye

Starbucks | iTunes Pick of the Week: My Starbucks (aka the one by my office) had the same download cards up this past week as they did the week before, so give The Sound of Your Life by Jason Bajada another listen :) (Also, apparently the link I left last week didn’t work. Whoops!)

Mailbox Monday is a weekly event hosted in January by Alyce @ At Home with Books.

I went to check out The Fault in our Stars signatures before book club last week (green j-scribbles only) and I had no intention of buying anything. Honest.

But.

Then I found Lola and the Boy Next Door! Why did I not know this book had already become available to the general public? I loved Anna and the French Kiss (I mean, I read it twice in one year. That never happens.), so I’m super excited about reading this one. But I think I’m going to save it until February as my Valentines read :)

“It’s Monday What Are You Reading” is a weekly event hosted by Sheila that lets you share books you’ve read over the past week and books you have coming up.

Finished:
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman
The Book of Tomorrow Cecelia Ahern

Posted:
Tune in Tuesday
Cleaning up: Unreviewed books of 2011 Pt.2 (a hodge-podge of books by Julie Buxbaum, Lani Taylor, Edith Wharton, John Green, etc)
Currently Reading:
In between books

Up Next: I think that I’m going to reread Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr until The Fault in our Stars hopefully finally arrives this week. (Pre-orders. You’d think they would arrive the week of release.)

What are you reading and listening to? Did any new books find their way into your possession?
