What We're Up To No. 2

Marianne

Hymns Mash-up - Anthem Lights

This is so beautiful! I just love the way their voices are so distinctly different, yet they blend together so perfectly! Also, these are three of my favorite hymns, so naturally I thought the idea of a mash-up involving them was absolutely ingenious ;).

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Source

I have to read this play for school, and I'm loving it! I've been a fan of Shakespeare since I read Romeo and Juliet a few years back, and so I was very excited about reading Much Ado About Nothing. I just finished it and am now doing all of the follow-up studying of it. I absolutely love Shakespeare's sense of humor! It is (at times) hard to understand, but it really is funny!

Brielle - Sky Sailing

I just recently discovered Sky Sailing, which is a side-project album done by Adam Young (AKA Owl City). As you can probably tell by now, I'm a huge Owl City fan ;) so I was really exited when I found out there was a whole Sky Sailing album for me to check out. It's been a while since we've had a new Owl City album, so the timing of my discovery couldn't have been better.

Mobile Orchestra - Owl City

It's been quite some time since Owl City (a.k.a. Adam Young) released a full album, and this summer he's coming out with Mobile Orchestra. His music is some of my favorite, I love how thought-provoking it can be, as well as capturing the way our minds work. Needless to say, I am crazy with excitement!

Success for Teens - John Fleming

I've been reading a small section of this book every day for the past few months, and it has been both challenging and encouraging in reminding me that I can reach whatever goals I make for myself if I am constantly making steps toward this goal, no matter how hard or unreachable it may seem. It has some really helpful principles that I know I will come back to in the future.
