January Picks

I’ve decided that in order to keep things under control, each month I get to choose a new Kindle book and a MP3 album. So, to catch up, here were January’s picks.

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1 was my January choice; I watched the movie on the plane, and then with my family once it was out on DVD, and I have to say that while the movie is a totally fun guilty pleasure, I loved the oldies in the soundtrack. So when I saw that they had actually published it all in one place I was thrilled! This album is also a guilty pleasure; I have a had a lot of fun singing along to this as I processed mangos and relaxed after school. Totally worth it!

Unbroken
I have to admit that I haven’t started this one yet; I am waiting for the term break so I can gobble it up and be an emotional wreck if I need to. The first thing I heard about this was that it was a movie directed by Angelina J. that was coming out in December—not terribly interested. But when I saw that the book was written by Laura Hillenbrand, then I was VERY interested. Her book Seabiscuit was so superbly written, that I decided it was worth trying out. I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve actually read it!
