Goodreads - The Clever Way To Read

Today I am going to be doing something a little different. You all know I'm a massive bookworm and recently I came across this genius website called Goodreads. I don't usually struggle with finding new books to read mainly because I know what books I enjoy but I do love to find out about books that may catch my attention. That is exactly what Goodreads is about. Not only can you get recommendations based on the books you've read, but you can also see hundreds of reviews on books to check the overall rating. Many authors are users of this website which is great as you can interact with your favourite authors! This site also gives you the opportunity to set a reading challenge for the year and I have set a goal of reading at least 50 books in 2015.

There is also a Goodreads app available which is handy when you're reading on the go!

I'm sure some of you have already heard of this website/use it but I am just so impressed with it and enjoy using it so much that I felt the need to share it with you all. You can add me as a friend on Goodreads here.

Are you a Goodreads user? Have you ever heard of Goodreads before?

Nails Of The Day

This week's nails of the day features a shade from NYC's 'Foil Explosion' range called 'Enchanting Fire.' I bought this shade some time ago so I am not sure if this range is still continuing/available in Ireland.

As you all probably know, I am a huge fan of NYC's nail polishes as they are so easy to apply with their consistency and brush and not only that but they don't begin to chip straight away either! 
One coat would be enough with this shade but I always apply two, no matter what colour I am applying. I also apply a coat of clear nail polish on my nails as a base coat and again after painting them as a top coat. I use NYC's clear nail polish. 

Have you tried this shade or any other shades from the NYC 'Foil Explosion' range? 
Also, what are your favourite NYC products?

December Playlist

Here we are in December and my last monthly playlist of the year! McBusted's debut album was released at the beginning of this month so naturally a chunk of my playlist will be from that album. Enjoy!

1. What Happened To Your Band by McBusted from the self-titled album McBusted

2. Get Over It by McBusted from the self-titled album McBusted 

3. Sensitive Guy by McBusted from the self-titled album McBusted

4. Getting It Out by McBusted from the self-titled album McBusted

5. 23:59 by McBusted from the self-titled album McBusted

6. Save You by Pearl Jam from the album Riot Act 

7. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran from the album X

When this song was released I hated it. Okay, I wouldn't say hate but I just didn't warm to the song at all. Overtime I began to love the song as I seemed to hear it everywhere I went. Definitely one of Ed Sheeran's best singles!

8. Surfer Babe by McFly from the album Room On The Third Floor

I've been listening to a lot of McFly's old stuff lately, especially their first album, and only now am I realising what a cracker of an album Room On The Third Floor is.

9. Room On The Third Floor by McFly from the album Room On The Third Floor

10. Just Breathe by Pearl Jam from the album Backspacer

11. Down By The Lake by McFly from the album Room On The Third Floor

12. Evacuation by Pearl Jam from the album Binaural

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas and I hope 2015 is good to you!
