Hi, I'm Alex Bracken. I'm 26, live in NYC, and I'm an author who actually works in children's publishing. I reblog everything from interesting history tidbits, to fashion, to all of the great nerdy loves of my life.
THE DARKEST MINDS (Disney*Hyperion) is out now!.
You can order it now! (That would be super swell.) Or, you can check out the excerpt and nifty things over on TheDarkestMinds.com. You can also follow me on Twitter, or like me on Facebook. You can find all TDM-related stuff on this Tumblr by clicking here.
Book 2, NEVER FADE, will be out on October 29, 2013. It's available for pre-order on Amazon (and Kindle). You can add it on GoodReads here!
Fake Empire (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Remix) by The National
We’re half awake in a fake empire…
Holy CRAP is this awesome. What a beautiful remix.

ALL THE STARS - Rose Cousins
(79 plays)Fly the birds by and by
The reasons why, do you listen for
The pull of the wind as they swoop and soar
Do you want more, do you want more?
MYKONOS- Fleet Foxes
Brother, you don’t need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You go wherever you go today
You go today
THE HARD WAY HOME -Brandi Carlile
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
When we’re driving home, I never have to worry about being alone
Love this song so much. SO much.

Kolnidur - Jonsi
I’m trying to untangle the hot, hot mess (sob) that is the first five chapters of Black is the Color, and I’ve had this song on repeat. I think it captures the tone of things pretty well (or at least my current level of despair).

Different - Ximena Sarinana
Sorry if I don’t see you
Mind me if my eyes
Cross you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m in a different zone
Sorry if my words
Hurt You
Wish I knew the time
To lie to you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m from a different world
Vh1 must have played this video a solid five times while I was stuck on the plane in Boston. It’s been stuck in my head ever since.
