Tune in Tuesday (55): Bombay Bicycle Club

Tune in Tuesday is a weekly music feature hosted by the fabulous Ginger at GReads. As some of you may know, I am ridiculously addicted to music. One of my favorite things to do is share the music I enjoy. Each week we'll be posting some of our favorites to spread the love of music. So link up and join the fun!

Just so's ya know, Tune in Tuesday will be taking a break for a while. (For more information, check out Ginger's post here.) I'm sad to see it go, but perhaps that will give me more incentive to post other things more often...? Well, that's what I keep telling myself. I really don't know what I'm going to do without it! When I found out this was to be the last one for a while, I wanted to do some super-fantastic-blow-your-mind-awesome post... but, seeing as I already had heaps of drafts ready to share - and I'm being kind of lazy - I picked one of those instead. Ahem. So! Without further ado, here is my last Tune in Tuesday! Well, until it starts back up again, that is. Anyway...

This week I have decided to share some Bombay Bicycle Club. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the awesomeness. Happy listening!

It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. Everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to act on his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder learns shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a mystery that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier. Their success - or failure - will determine the fate of the 2,298 passengers aboard Godspeed. But with each step, the journey becomes more perilous, the ship more chaotic, and the love between them more impossible to fight.

Beth Revis catapulted readers into the far reaches of space with her New York Times bestselling debut, Across the Universe. In A Million Suns, Beth deepens the mystery with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion:

They have to get off this ship.

I was introduced to this great group a month or so ago by a friend at work (yay for musical friends!) and now I love them. There's just something about them, ya know? Their new album, Forever So, came out in July and it's stellar. I couldn't decide which song to share, so I'm sharing the first I ever heard, followed by my favorite as of right this second... this changes a lot, though. Hee hee. If you like what you hear below, be sure to check out their album! Happy listening!

Summer Lovin' & Team Kilt Giveaway Winners!

I just realized I have yet to announce the winners of the Summer Lovin' Giveaway Hop and the Team Kilt Giveaway. Oops! Sorry, guys. I was apparently feeling very generous in the month of July, as I held three giveaways and signed up for another giveaway hop to happen in the near-ish future. So, without further ado, let's announce some winners!
