Music Monday {5}

Music Monday is a weekly post where you can share a song, a music video or anything musical related that you’re feeling awesome about that week. Here on What A Nerd Girl Says, I will almost always share a song that I’m super into that week and the music video, if any, that goes with it!

A few weeks ago, I went and saw Panic! at the Disco in concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim and it was incredible!

She’s playing in LA later this year and I may go and see her because she was so electric live!

Boyfriend Book Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

He suffered from what a lot of male readers suffer from – they only read white men! Well, of course, that didn’t really work with this Nerd Girl and he has been making a journey through my massive YA collection. Now we’ve started this column together, to review books that I’ve most likely already reviewed so that we can get a male perspective on it. We hope you enjoy!
