Get Caught Up: Inferno by Dan Brown
Usually on my blog, I don’t write book reviews. But, there are so many good books out there, so I might review some of the ones I actually like to you. This all began when I recently finished reading Dan Brown’s new book Inferno. I was so excited to start reading the new installment of the Robert Langdon series. By the end of the book my expectations had been more than satisfied. Robert Langdon is back, and on strict time limit to help solve the mysteries of Dante’ Inferno, in hopes to save the world from a bio-engineered plague while being chased by a man called the provost. Can Langdon solve the tricky riddles of Dante’s Inferno in order to save the world?
I loved the book from start to finish. As an omnivorous reader, I relished the unexpected plot twists that helped keep the plot alive. And as history buff, I enjoyed the art history references and the factual content of the book. But the most interesting part of the book was the science behind the plague. Though I do not want to give too much information out, I really felt that the genius of the plague was the real jewel of the novel. Dan Brown has throughly outdone himself in his new novel. I am excited to see if Inferno will be made into a movie. My rating: 9.5/10

Book Inspired Tatoos
I hope everyone is having a great week. I decided for tonight’s post to do something a little different. Rather than focusing on fashion I decided to focus on the artistic realm of tatoos. Although I am not the biggest fan of tatoos, I have to say these are pretty great. Most of the ones I found were of some of my favorite books. I love how precise all the details are in these. I posted the website in which I got the photos from. Please comment and tell me what you guys think!

The Great Florence and the Machine
I could cry! This song is amazing! Probably the best work she has done so far. This song is from the new Great Gatsby movie.

I was walking through the park and saw these shoes. I really loved them and decided to be somewhat creepy and photograph them.

Entertained by Phoenix
They have done it again! Remember that band from a years back with the title of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix(also known as Phoenix)? They had two smash hits, Liztomania and 1901? Well guess what! they just came back and they are awesome as ever! I was reading the lastest edition of Nylon and saw that they made a comeback. So it was only natural that I would go and check it out.
What did I find?
My new favorite for the month. Recently, a song from their new album Bankrupt! leaked on the Internet. Entertainment is only a taste of what is to come from them. Once again, Phoenix has brought their A-game with edgy guitars and retro sounding synthesizers. They have brought the best of cotton-candy pop (that is a complement). It’s a kick-back-have-no-worries kind of song. It is the perfect summer song to listen while traveling, lounging, or just looking to have plain fun. Seeing as this is only a taste of what is to come, I am extremely excited to see what the band further produces on their new album, said to be released April 23rd!
Entertainment- Phoenix
1901- Phoenix
Liztomania- Phoenix
