Hall of Mirrors: Blog Carnival

Welcome! 



Welcome...


Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors!






Here you will gaze deeply into your own reflection and  decide if you like what you see, both inside, and out.

Firstly, I am giving away Aimee Carter's Goddess Interrupted! 


Those who believes music makes up a strand of their genetic code like one such Mistress of Mirrors need apply! 

Challenge for the book about the Goddess:




I need to set up a good writing playlist for my next two WIPs (works in progress.) 

Each song you find me keeping these key words in mind enters you to win Goddess Interrupted once:

Battle

Struggle

Fight to the death

Grief


Battle Cries


Being Haunted

Songs about troubled home lives

Southern Love 


Wild girls

& bad boys hurting good girls


Death

I will choose a winner and hopefully get an awesome playlist going in the process! 


So leave a comment with your song selection, your GFC name and your e-mail address. 


To give you some further inspiration, these are two songs from the current playlists.



This challenge will be available for participation from May 7th to the 13th, so get to jamming and tweeting!


And beware of most mirrors, dear Hall Wanderers, even the fairest of them all can lie, they are magick, after all. Look inside your heart to see what the Mirror neglects to discover.

Everybody Hurts by The Corrs
For me this song is very helpful when I am struggling or sad I hate it when people commit sucide and leave their love ones alone. I guess this song can be helpful to those who are struggling with the idea of sucide (death). Maybe you can add this song to your list.

And one more song I would like to suggest is Miss you by Miley cyrus. In 2010 when I lost my favorite aunt I was devastated n grief stricken I listened to this song and I somehow felt that she is now in a better place away from sufferings because she was suffering from several painful health conditions...
