Top Ten Books I'd Give a Theme Song To

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I'd Give a Theme Song To

1.) The Hunger Games-'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor-I love this song and I think the lyrics go well with the story of the games.
2.) Twilight-'Endless Love' by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross-A super cheesy love song for a super cheesy book.
3.) Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward-'Hurts So Good' by John Mellencamp-I am not going to explain this one.  If you've read the book, you know what I mean.
4.) Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher-'How Do You Get That Lonely' by Blaine Larsen-I don't know if this book needs a theme song but when I read it, this song came to mind.
5.) Tatiana and Alexander and The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons-'I Just Got Back From Hell' by Gary Allan-This isn't so much a theme song for these books as it is a theme song for Alexander and what he went through in these stories

This was reallly hard so I only have five this week.  What books do you think need a theme song?

    I'm seeing that I am completely out of the music world! I think I know the first two songs (vaguely) but I not only don't know the last three, but I don't even know who the artists are!

    Here's my
    Top Ten Books I'd Give a Theme Song To.     I'd love to have you stop by.

    The Mellencamp song is perfect for Vishous! Also, love your Thirteen Reasons Why suggestion...super sad, but really works for that book.

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
