Top 5 Wednesday Day: 01/06/16


Happy Wednesday! This week's topic is: Book Theme Songs

These are songs that you associate with particular books for whatever reason.

If you want to know everything about this T5W, you can click on this amazing link which will take you to Goodreads.  T5W was created by Lainey but is now managed by Samantha!

5. Beating Heart by Ellie Goulding - (Divergent Series)
I think I link this song to the Divergent series because it is on the soundtrack and it is played at the end of  the Insurgent movie, but it just feels like it connects to the story in ways.

4. Bad Girls by M.I.A - (Vampire Academy Series)
This song is also in the Vampire Academy movie. This song suits Rose extremely well. It is as if the song was made for her character and whenever I hear/talk about this series I immediately think of this song.

3. Boom Clap by Charli XCX - (The Fault In Our Stars)
Yet another song that is played in the book to movie adaptation! This song just feels like it goes with their feelings whilst they were in Amsterdam, so I think it is perfectly suited.

2. Willamette Stone - (If I Stay & Where She Went)
I have this whole entire album on my Spotify playlist and it is my life. This is the actual band that is "made up" in the books and there is an entire album full of songs that are mentioned mostly in Where She Went. Seeing as my favourite thing about this duology is this band it seems perfect that I choose them for this.

1. Harry Potter Prologue (Theme Song) - (Harry Potter Series)
How can you not hear this song whilst thinking or reading or doing something Harry Potter related? I believe this is the most accurate book theme song for many obvious reasons that I am pretty sure you agree on.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book Review

Image
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by  Michelle Hodkin Published by   Simon And Schuster  on    September 27th 2011 Genres:   Paranormal, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance Pages: 452 Goodreads “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer delivered reality and truth into a supernatural and suspenseful book. Intrigue of Mara Dyer's character came from her being quite mentally unstable due to the accident that she cannot remember which killed her friends and left her alive. This makes Mara an unreliable protagonist and it is almost impossible to tell if what is happening is actually even going on in real life or just inside her head. However, I did find it quite hard to imagine what Mara Dyer physically looked like. I feel like the author did not exactly describe her appearance or even her ancestry (Indian) early on in the book, so I had a picture in my mind that didn't match with her description

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Title:  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Author:  Rick Riordan  Series or Standalone:  Series Genre:  Young-adult Fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date:  January 1st 2005 Goodreads Summary: Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. My Review: If you know me, you know how much I love my Greek Mythology and  this book just made me love it even more.  I enjoyed the whole concept of Camp Half Blood, which is the Camp that all Demi-Gods can go to to escape all of the monsters in the real world.  Rick's writing was very honourable and reading from Per
