Top Ten Perfect Book- Song Pairings

Top Ten Tuesday meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is all about music & books. So I decided to do ‘Top Ten Perfect Book-Song Pairings’. Some songs are straight from movie or musical adaptations… no it’s not cheating. All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix & Watchmen by Alan Moore…

    Awesome list; was very refreshing to see someone take on the “book and song – pairing” variant of this week’s TTT. I absolutely love the idea of Burn, along with We Were Liars. That fits so well! :)

    Here’s my attempt at this week’s TTT topic – I kind of took the easier option with songs I would like to see as books; kudos to you for tackling the harder of the two in my opinion!

      Thank you! I was hmm dying to do this! :D No I think yours is much harder, I couldn’t have done that so I did this. Coming up with songs that would make great novels seems hard because novels should be lengthier ?
