#ReadingCram Challenge: Songs for 2013 Reads!

Hello all!!

I am participating in the

#ReadingCram Readathon!

It is hosted by Dana Square

and Juliababyjen's Reading Room!

Today, the #Reading Cram Challenge is:

Pick any Book read in 2013 and

pick a song/playlist for it!

It is hosted by Tanya @ Book Loving Hippo!

Here we go!

The first book and song that popped into my head cracked me up so much!

Throughout this book the lead male character is absolutely obsessed with his ex-wife. I kept finding myself mentally screaming at this character that it was OVER. Please for the love of god, if I ever hear the name Nikki more than three times in a row out of someone's mouth I will slap them... hard. LoL

Anyways my first book is...

The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick.
My Review

For this book, I chose the song...

It's Over by Roy Orbison

Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist

by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

For this book, I thought this song was appropriate because

of the way Nick and Norah could not keep their hands off eachother!

Fiona Apple - Hot Knife

These Broken Stars (Starbound #1)

by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

My Review

The song I picked for this book really captures the emotions

that I felt while reading These Broken Stars.

Florence + the Machine - Cosmic Love

Well, I hope you enjoyed my choices!

I look forward to seeing everyone else's.

2013 Challenge Update - Long Overdue!

Hello all! I have been the best procrastinator ever! I haven't updated my Challenges since February... Such a bad blogger, right?!?! I've been keeping up with my books on a spreadsheet I created. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to link up my reviews. ARRRGG! Anyways, I finally sat down today and went through everything and coded it because that is just what cool people do. Plus, I'm a nerd and love it.
Below is a list of all of the books I have read so far this year. I think I am about 6 books behind schedule. Super suck.
