May 2023 Collective Book Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It may be September, but I am still going through and reading all the books I purchased over the past few months. I had originally wanted to write book haul posts about them, but I didn’t get the chance to. Since this it is the very end of summer and the fall/autumn fandom side of social media is talking about reading, I decided to move forward to writing and publishing the old book haul posts I never got around to finishing!

I purchased all the books at Walmart in May. All the books were on sale. I wanted to buy some of the books for a few years, but I never felt the books were in my price range. Since many of the books were on sale, I decided to buy them. Also, the books vary in subject matter.

Music Review: Shania Twain Greatest Hits (2004)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I’ve been under a lot of stress and wanted to listen to music that made me feel better. Usually that means I listen to 80’s music, specifically soft rock and power ballads, but this time I wanted to listen to some familiar country music. While looking through my CD albums for something to listen to, I found my copy of Shania Twain Greatest Hits CD. It’s been a while since I actively listened to Shania’s music so I decided to listen to it. While listening to it, I began to feel much more at ease about life, and I also felt inspired to write a review about it.

Music Review- Now That’s What I Call Country Classics 90s (2020)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While recently shopping at Walmart, I wandered into the music and movie section of the store. The music section at the Walmart I shopped at is now tinny compared to the size it used to be when the Walmart opened in the late 1990’s, but most of the music in the section are country music. Country music is probably one of the most popular genres of music in the area, so I wasn’t surprised there was many albums from country music genre. While looking at the CDs, I found a few albums I didn’t own and some I seriously considered buying but never did. One of the albums is Now That’s What I Call Country Classics 90s.

I listened to the Now That’s What I Call Music CDs since they were first introduced back in the late 1990’s, but, thanks to my focus on other things and my own lack of interest in modern day music (Sans a few songs and artists), I stopped buying them and listened to my old CDs. I thought about buying this version of the Now album series, but I ultimately didn’t. After looking at it again, I decided to buy it. After listening to it, I thought it would be a good album to write a review post about. Continue reading “Music Review- Now That’s What I Call Country Classics 90s (2020)” →

Favorite Music Hits from the Year 2000 (Country Music Only)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in the year 2000, I used to listen to pop and top 30 music all the time, but I also listed to an equal amount of country music. Today, I don’t listen to country music nearly as much because the music style has changed so much I really don’t like it at all. Although there are some country songs that are new and enjoy listening to, for the most part I listen to the “oldies” from the 2000’s and any decade prior to the year 2013. Because of this, I listen to more songs I loved in the year 2000 than pop music.

And so, without further delay, here is a list of all the country hits I used to like in 2000.

  • It’s a Great Day to Be Alive- Travis Tritt
  • Prayin’ for Daylight- Rascal Flatts
  • There is no Arizona- Jamie O’Neal
  • Kiss This- Aaron Tippin
  • Breath- Faith Hill
  • What About Now- Lonestar
  • How Do You Like Me Now?!- Toby Keith
  • I Hope You Dance- Lee Ann Womack

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
