Tumbling After

You may have noticed that I haven't been very active recently. I've been writing a lot of papers, but I promise in a few weeks I will be all about you (and my books). But for now I just want to share another song with you that I have really been feeling a connection to recently.
Here are the lyrics, if you want to read along:
The other day while I was driving home my world was shaken
It occurred to me that I had left too many risks untaken
I'm always sitting here just waiting for a revelation
Is it ever gonna come?

All this searching yet my destiny is still unfound
Makes me realize this world will always let me down
So it seems that the only hope I ever had
Was everything that You are

I'm falling down
Tumbling after You
I'm overwhelmed
Tripping over simple truth
In all I've found
There's nothing that's more beautiful
Than what I've found in You

You could always see right through the front I'd offer You
Not believing my excuses, waiting for the truth
When You could have turned Your back
And walked away from me
You, You picked me up instead

So we'll turn another page and change the way I look at You
And maybe I'll begin to understand what You went through
Not content to leave me wandering and unaware
You took my hand instead
Yeah, You lead me to the edge

You're everything that I ever needed
Now I wanna believe this time
That You would love me
That You would say I'm Yours, I'm Yours, I'm Yours

I'm falling down
Tumbling after You
I'm overwhelmed
Tripping over simple truth
In all I've found
There's nothing that's more beautiful
Than what I've found in You
I'm falling down
Tumbling after You
I'm overwhelmed
Tripping over simple truth
In all I've found
There's nothing that's more beautiful
Than what I've found in You
Than what I've found in You

The Wolverine

[Warning: Spoilers for this movie and X-Men movies] The Wolverine  follows Logan after the loss of Jean Grey, the woman he loved. His struggle to cope continues to push him to the edge, but he fights on (sometimes quite literally by fighting people). The Wolverine is summoned to Japan by another mutant, Yukio, and meets with her adoptive grandfather/boss, anold acquaintance of his who is dying and wishes to help Logan before his time is up. The now elderly man, whom he saved in the Second World War, offers to take away Logan's immortality so that he does not have to suffer and remember his losses for eternity. However, Logan's gift of mortality suddenly becomes a curse when he gets caught in the middle of the man's family drama. His son wants to take over the business, but he has already designated it for his granddaughter, Mariko. Mariko's father is willing to kill to get her out of the way, and while protecting her, Logan begins to fall for her. Yukio aids Logan in ge

Les Misérables

[Warning: mild spoilers] Many people may be unaware that Les Misérables  was originally a novel by Victor Hugo, the man who wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame . And just like his other novel, Les Mis is extremely long. The book tells the story of Jean Valjean's redemption after getting out of prison and the way that he tries to do whatever he can to assist others, until the day when Inspector Javert realizes who he is and he is forced to spend the rest of his days running and hiding from the officer who is bent on revenge. The one thing that continues to push Jean Valjean to run is a girl named Cosette. He adopted the girl when her mother, who had worked for him, passed away. The girl was in the care of a selfish couple whom the mother had paid to raise the little girl. It's very much a Cinderella story, with Cosette being treated more like a servant than a part of the family. Jean thus dedicates his life to caring for the young girl, but the Thenardier family repeatedly co

The Strange Case of Finley Jayne

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS Sorry that I have been more sporadic in posts as of late (not that anyone has yet to read this blog and notice). Anyways, my most recent read was The Strange Case of Finely Jayne by Kady Cross. This is more of a novella than a novel, and I finished it within only a couple of sittings. I have become fascinated with the steampunk style for the last few years, and have had this book on the backburner, so I am glad that I finally got to read it. This book is about a young girl who has another, more dark, side to her personality. She is different, and finds it difficult to make friends or keep a job. One day, Lady Morton requests Finley to fill the position of companion to her daughter, Phoebe. Finley quickly realizes that this job is one she cannot lose because Lady Morton hired her with the full knowledge of the girl's capabilities. Finley's job is to protect Phoebe, particularly when it comes to her new fiancé, but there is more to him than ev
