I’m loving a lot of things at the moment, so here’s five of them.

Covers That Change the Genre and/or Gender

For me the best cover songs are ones that the cover artist makes their own, and right now I’m listening to a couple of classical crossover artists covering pop/rock/whatever songs. Whether it’s Josh Groban covering Linkin Park or Katherine Jenkins covering Evanescence, it adds a new aspect to the song not to mention it’s great for writing/character playlists.

Superhero Novels

I love superheroes. I love novels. Sometimes these two great tastes can be found together. A couple I have read:

• The Rise of Renegade X – Chelsea M. Campbell
• Hero – Perry Moore
• Soon I Will Be Invincible – Austin Grossman
• After The Golden Age – Carrie Vaughn

There are more out there: I am looking forward to reading the Masked anthology in particular.

Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You

I don’t really read a lot of stuff that’s pure romance, but Kimi Ni Todoke is my major exception. This manga is frustrating in all the right ways – most importantly the part where I eagerly gobble a volume down only to be very upset that I don’t have the next one on me right now.

My eReader

Reasons why I love my ereader:

• It saves on space.
• Books are cheaper.
• Some books are free!
• I don’t have to limit my options when it comes to travelling. TAKE ALL THE BOOKS!
• I can borrow books from the library without leaving the house. And because I have a passport I can borrow books from the Singapore Library as well!
• It’s light and I never have to worry about bookmarks – which is great if I want to read something like The Passage.

My New Layout

Finally I have broken away from the traditional style and this is the result.
