Hello Lovelies!!

Another TTT coming at you, courtesy of The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is our own choice of a previous topic aka TOP TEN REWIND. So I decided to go with Books I'd Give a Theme Song To (because I'm feeling a little music-y today and I apparently wanted to do one that would take me forever to complete!) So here we are...

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell : Really, is anyone surprised when this book ends up on one of my lists?? I can't help how much I adore this book. The theme song I'd give it would probably be something appropriately 80s like I Melt With You by Modern English. 

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte : Lucky for me, this has already been done and done spectacularly! The movie adaptation was horrendous, but this Mumford & Sons song (called The Enemy) is a fantastic theme song for the novel. 

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness : Uhm, yeah with my new obsession with this series, this book definitely deserves it's own theme song (and I'm sure the movie will have an awesome soundtrack!). I'm not sure I'm doing it justice, but I'd say that Devil's Backbone by the Civil Wars is a good starting point. 

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern : With the way two kids are played against each other, I'd say a good theme song would be We Must Be Killers by Mikky Ekko 

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins : Okay it's been a while since I've read this one, and I know for a fact that there are tons of delightful French bands with great songs, but the song I kept thinking of is You and I by Ingrid Michaelson. 

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan : Oh come on, if you weren't begging for a musical with this book, there's something wrong with you. I'd probably want it to be more of a new musical like Rent or Across the Universe than an old-fashioned one like Les Mis or Sound of Music or something. So as a sample of what I'd want for a theme song, I'd have to go with Take Me or Leave Me . Which really melds well lyric-wise anyway.

White Oleander by Janet Fitch : I guess just as a song for Astrid in general, I'd like to give her Strong as an Oak by Watsky . 

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard : Definitely This Little Girl by Cady Groves. I mean A might be anyone but Alison was definitely capable of murder. 

Daughters of the Moon by Lynne Ewing : Specifically #3 Night Shade because that was always the best. Here's My Moon, My Man by Feist 

Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher: This isn't perfect but Unfinished Business by Mumford and Sons has some merit. 

What do you guys think? Do you have better suggestions for these books? Or do these songs make you think of different books?? Let me know in the comments!

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
