Top Ten Tuesday- Top Ten Songs That I Wish Were Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme hosted here at The Broke and the Bookish. The topic for this week is Top Ten Songs That I Wish Were Books.

For those of you who don't know I absolutely LOVE music! I am as into music as I am books and many times both of these have been connected in my life. Ever since I was little I have loved to listen to music and read at the same time. I still do this to this day and it's probably my favorite thing to do. So when I saw this topic I got pretty excited! I picked these songs because I can see a vivid story in my mind and I would love to see these as novels.

I tried to add the songs on here from Spotify, but I could only get some to work and the others kept disappearing. I have no clue why, but I'm very annoyed! I added the links to the YouTube videos though.

1. The Freshman By: The Verve Pipe- I think this would be such a good and dramatic story to read about! The Freshman

2. Hotel California By: The Eagles- I can picture this being done as a very creepy and ghostly novel. It would be AHHHHmazing!! Hotel California

3. Baba O'Riley By: The Who- Is it just me or would this make such a kick ass angsty YA  novel? Baba O'Riley

4. Pour Some Sugar On Me By: Def Leppard- Dayuuuuuuuum this would make a hot erotica novel. Can Tom Cruise be on the cover? Pour Some Sugar On Me

5. Bohemian Rhapsody By: Queen- C'mon the story is already there! Someone seriously needs to make this a book. Right away! Bohemian Rhapsody

6. The Boys of Summer By: Don Henley- Hello awesome NA summery novel!! I see a beautiful beach picture on the cover. The Boys of Summer

7. Hey There Delilah By: Plain White T's- I love novels about music! Especially ones with a love story and this song would make a perfect musical book. Hey There Delilah

8. Bad Girls By: M.I.A.- I can totally picture this as a book about some bad bitches that are out there making money and living life to the fullest. Bad Girls

9. I Will Follow You Into The Dark By: Death Cab For Cutie- I see this song as a very suspenseful book about a creepy stalker that eventually leads to a dramatic murder/suicide. :x I Will Follow You Into The Dark

10. For Emma By: Bon Iver-  Maybe this would be more of a novella? A very interesting one though! For Emma

Honorable Mentions:

Chandelier By: Sia- I just want Sia to write an autobiography! That would be so awesome. I want to know all about her life. Chandelier

Falling Slowly By: Glen Hansard- Okay, I really just want Once the movie turned into a book! I adore that movie. Falling Slowly

Okay, that's it! What songs would you like to see as books? Do you agree with any of my choices? :)

Top Ten Tuesday-Top Ten Quotes I Love From Books I've Read This Past Year

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme/feature hosted here at The Broke and the Bookish. The topic for this week is Top Ten Quotes I Love From Books I've Read This Past Year.

I like a good quote that makes me think or that gives me a case of the feels. I enjoy a funny quote as well, but these are the ones that really resonate with me on a deeper level. It was really hard to pick my quotes and using ones only from books I read this past year. But I don't think we need a top 100 list! :x Well here are the ones I finally narrowed it down to and I can't wait to see what everyone else's top quotes are as well.

1. "Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. It did not end well." -Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

2."He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." -Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

3."I desire the things that will destroy me in the end." -Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

4, "The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." -Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

5, "To die, it's easy. But you have to struggle for life." -Art Spiegelman, Maus

6. "Just because we don't see eye to eye on everything doesn't mean we can't be close." -Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

7. "Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing." -Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

8. "One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us." -Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

9. "Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry."-Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

10. "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all." -Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Well that is my list (in no particular order), sorry for so many from Sylvia Plath! Also, I would have loved to add in more Oscar Wilde quotes. But then the whole list would be just his quotes. So I went with my all time favorite quote by him only. And even though I did listen to some of the Harry Potter series on audiobook I skipped quotes from those. I figure we all already know a lot of them!

What are some of your favorite quotes from books that you read this year? Thanks for reading mine!
