gasoline rainbows

WOW IT'S AUGUST ALR time really flies I tell you! School/studying is such a chore/bore but I've got tons of good music to get me through! Especially 'Feel Again' by OneRepublic omg its so darn good. Very Florence and the Machine-esque but I love it! Not forgetting Scouting For Girls and John Mayer's new album. He has this new image now and he looks exactly like Jason Mraz I tell you. Btw, in reference to my post title, I don't have a definite liking towards gasoline rainbows I just can't help but to point on gasoline puddles encasing a circular rainbow on the roads esp after rain like, 'hey gasoline rainbow!' It's kinda like a beautiful accident? I think I read it somewhere. Or was it a beautiful tragedy? Anyway I realise that I commit the crime of judging a book very much by its cover, or title. Everytime I head to the library, I FAIL TO LAY MY DEPRIVED HANDS ON THAT VERY BOOK I AM LUSTING GLEEFULLY OVER why issit always on loan why why why anyway whenever I can't find it, I have to settle for randomly glancing through shelves, letting my tiny eyes filter and scour for potential good reads and most of the time I immediately
1) shun romance novels. Just not my type. I like a little dark humour and maybe one or two um, visual scenes (go figure) and most importantly the theme must greatly shine through all the pages of its glory.
2) I avoid book covers of sappy landscapes/ pictures of scenery/ a young girls face enlarged on the cover etc basically just sappy covers
3) if the title invokes any hint of sappy-ness I'm never touching it.
The books I usually look out for have bright eye seducing colours and graphics. Immediately I am drawn to it, and bonus if the title sounds nothing like a book title but most of the time I'm not that lucky but when I do its the greatest book ever! And when I say that I'm not being shallow. I'm saying that the plot isn't just realistic and relatable, but the themes and the depth explored in a character are just truly magnificent. Authors like that should all be knighted. And I think The History of Love by Nicole Krauss should have a more eyecatching cover. Just in case, the cover of the book is filled with books, flaps flailed open and paper strewn all over. It's a very sappy cover if you ask me and if RR didn't lend me the book I would have missed out on one of my favourite books ever. It's the only romance novel I actually like. It's not exactly a romance novel but it involves a love story so yeah. Okaye I'm boring all of you with this post. My apologies my life is very boring and laden with monotony. Except for a few things that never fail to bring me back to life.  Forgive me, I'll post smth cool and interesting that all hipsters will totally gush over soon. Snow P's concert is tmr, pls excuse me while I cry a river. Thank you and have a lovely week ahead!
