Birthday playlist

So yesterday I turned 22. Personally I don't understand why turning a year older, shortening your life should cause such a fuss, but I guess it is worth celebrating surviving another year, being healthy and hopefully surrounded by the ones you love.
Also, the pop scene hosts a lot of songs talking about being 22. Don't know what's so special about this number, that makes it so lyrical friendly, but here is a small collection of birthday and 22 songs. Enjoy!

1) Today is my birthday by Amadeus feat. Claudia Cicone


2) 22 by Taylor Swift


3) Birthday by Selena Gomez


4) 22 by Lily Allen



5) It's your birthday by Chief waKiL

July Book Haul #5

Hello there!

July was a dry month for me, when it comes to reading for pleasure. I had time to finish only one book which is: Cine suntem aka Who we are by Dan Puric.

This book has been on my shelf for centuries, mom read it before me and she enjoyed it so I decided to give it a try.
Dan Puric is a very popular actor in my country, he toured many countries and had his share of international success. He came to my University once, to promote one of his books. I've seen him in numerous TV interviews. he catches your attention from the moment he starts speaking.
"Who we are" or "Cine suntem" is a compilation of press and TV interviews, other conferences he attended. I did'n not expect this book to be so much infused with religion and christian orthodox views. For someone who is a truly religious person this book will be absolutely perfect, but for those who do not think of religion as a priority or are not religious I ask them to read this book with an open mind and to take it simply as someones point of view - and not as a brain-wash-kind-of-book. I can not say that it was my cup of tea, I rated it 3 stars on Good Reads, because I did not always feel that Puric's view on the Romanian peoples was accurate to this time and age 100%. I guess as an artist you interact with different aspects of life that normal people do not.
For any Romanian that likes Dan Puric I recommend this book. And if you do decide to pick one of his books up please have an opened mind.


In July I also started another book: The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey! I highly recommend this one, especially now, when the weather is so hot that you can feel your skin melting away.


I will leave you the book trailer and hopefully you will find it as entertaining as I did:



Keep reading!
