Music Monday #2

It's Music Monday! You know what that means...
Time to pick out song which reminds you of a book, or a specific scene out of a book!

So here are the rules to make it a bit more clear. You can either:
1 . Choose a song you find most fit to a book you have read, or
2 . Find a song which fits to a specific moment (long or short) in a book you have read


Song Title: True Colors
Artists: Phil Collins
Type: Concert, Paris (Bercy) 2004
Book association: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare




I am simply in LOVE with Phil Collins, especially his concert from his Farewell Tour (in Bercy, Paris). Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should definitely buy the concert CD or look it up on YouTube! It's simply stunning and breathtaking, he and his back-up singers are so extremely great and talented!
So I chose this song not only because I adore it, but also because it reminds me of the love story between Clary and Jace in the City of Ashes. I believe Clary and Jace always (try) to see the best in each other, whether they like to admit it to each other or not. They see each other's true colors which make their forbidden romance so genuine and special.

Review of City of Ashes coming soon!

Music Monday #1

As you all know I am only a beginner, and now I am looking for new and more features to enhance my blog :) As you can see from my Divergent Book review, I have started out vlogging... and I want to continue searching for more things which will make my blog more interesting for my readers!
So I will be starting MEME's!

This Meme I found through Goodreads by a book blogger called Zowee's Bookshelf! I am not sure if it's originally hers, but when I saw it on her blog I found it a very good idea!

So here are the rules. You can either:

1 . Choose a song you find most fit to a book you have read, or
2 . Find a song which fits to a specific moment (long or short) in a book you have read

For this Monday, I will be choosing a song which I find fits most to a book I have read.

Song Title: Safe & Sound
Artists: Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars
Production: Big Machine Records, LLC
Book association: The Hunger Games Trilogy                                                             



This song reminds me of... you have probably guessed it... The Hunger Games trilogy! This one was obviously very easy to correlate with the books, as this is actually the soundtrack of The Hunger Games... so I cheated a little ;) But I love this song, and I want to share it with all of you readers who have not heard this song yet!

This is a beautiful but melancholy song. It really makes you picture every dramatic moment in the book (which basically is the entire book!). I think Taylor Swift did a great job. And the video clip of course is also very stunning, full with symbolism relating to the books.

What do you guys think about this song and its relation to The Hunger Games?

Until next time Peachy Readers!
