Everything Is Better With Dragons
Book blogger, Autistic, Probably a Dragon
I’m home, clean, exhausted and a little bit drunk. It is my birthday after all.
That aside, give me a chance to sleep and get my brain in order and I’ll tell you about Download; bands, shopping, food, friends, queuing and zipline pinata. And the thunderstorm on Thursday.
Bye bye, from a rather sleepy,
Rose

DOWNLOAD HERE WE COME
With our emergency lollies and crochet.
Yes, ladies, gentlemen and other creatures, I’m finally on the road to my first festival. After all the panic, shopping and excited squealing it’s good to be underway. We probably won’t be the most economically packed festival goers, but we think we have remembered everything. Except booze.
Yeah, that’s right, no alcohol!
Luckily my friend Shelley is bringing some with her tomorrow. Either that or we’ll have to take a walk in to Castle Donington this evening and get some.
Well, I shall return to the joys of travelling down the M1 (it’s not very exciting) and preserve my phones battery for a bit.
Bye

I am listening to this album this morning, I’ll tell you what I think later.
This month and next month I will be publishing, on this blog, posts by my friend Satu, who will be attending three festival in Finland. She will be at Rock the Beach in Helsinki, Qstock in Oulu and at Nummirock, and has agreed to write about them.
I thought a bit of variety might be interesting.
Got to get back to the day job now,
Bye,

I have three reviews, or at least the outline of three reviews, to put online. Unfortunately I currently I have no internet (I’m writing this from my phone) so it may be sometime before you see them. I need to add links and suchlike and that’s difficult when I use my phone. It’s frustrating but not the end of the world.
In other news I found out this morning that one if my favourite bands, Reckless Love, is doing a UK tour in October. I am going to have to see them this year, since I didn’t get to see them last year.
And finally, if anyone has any suggestions for books and music they think I should review drop me a line.
On my lust so far I have the new Science of Discworld IV and an ebook called Knot in Time to read. I would like to read The Long War and hear Black Sabbath’s album 13.
See you on the other side.
I know I said there would be a couple of book reviews today, but I’ve changed my mind. New Discworld to read after all.
And now I’m going to return to it.
Bye
Rose
I’ve just had a phone call from the library; they’ve got (finally!) the latest Science of Discworld. I’m going to collect it this afternoon. When I get back, and before I start reading it, I’m going to review a couple of e-books I downloaded yesterday.
The first ‘Georgiana Darcy’s Diary’ by Anna Elliott is a continuation of the Jane Austen classic ‘Pride and Prejudice’, and the second is a celebratory edition of the ‘For Dummies…’ series marking their 20th anniversary.
Bye for one,
Rose
I found my way to a website called http://www.everythingbooksandauthors.com/ this morning, and on their ‘Special Offers & Freebies’ page there were a few books that I thought looked interesting. I’m going to read them all and review them.
I love having the Kindle for PC app. I have so many books on it, most of them free.
Bye

…But in the meantime here’s a video or two about their time in the studio making it.
I will probably be getting the album at some point. Hopefully it’ll be on Spotify so that I can listen to it/review it even if I can’t afford the album for a while. I’m really looking forward to hearing it, especially after hearing ‘God is Dead?’
Loving Ozzy’s snazzy bowler hat btw, even though I’m more of a top hat girl myself.
I just thought I’d show you all something.
Look at the screen shot below. This month I have had twice as many views as I had all last year. I’m in shock
Thank you all for taking the time to read my scribbles and thank you to those who comment, like and reblog. You’re doing wonders for my confidence. I appreciate it immensely and I’ll do my best to be worthy of your time and effort.
