Link to the books I've read for the challenge...My Shelf

Look at you Sylvia. Already got one marked off.

Tracy wrote: "Look at you Sylvia. Already got one marked off."

I know lol I'm so excited that the book I just happened to read had many self-sacrificing moments in it lol

So far have struck three songs out already with these books...

...if I can get through one album I'll be happy :D

Way to go Sylvia.

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "So far have struck three songs out already with these books...[bookcover:The Bird and the Sword|290..."

Thanks, Tracy. Lucky for me that every book I've read matched a song lol

Okay, I crossed out another 2 books being and

I need to cgeck mine. I think I have neglected this challenge

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "So far have struck three songs out already with these books...[bookcov..."

I'm not purposely looking to read a book specific to the specifications for each song but when I do finish a book I look through the list and cross off a song that fits the criteria of the book I just read. Really no effort at all lol

I belive my problem with keeping up with it is because I'm always on my phone. I can do it from there but it's difficult. My laptop takes forever to power up so I don't tend to use it.

That sucks Hun
Do you use the app or just through the browser (which I use when I'm on my phone so it's just a mini version of the computer screen)?

I use the browser. I don't care for the app at all.

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "I belive my problem with keeping up with it is because I'm always on my phone. I can do it from there but it's difficult. My laptop takes forever to power up so I don't..."

Yeah, not keen on the app either.

Glad I'm not the only one. The phone I had before would go to the app every time and it was very aggravating. I would have to switch it over when I would get on Goodreads.

Yes, that used to happen to me all the time. Now if I want to use my iPhone I just go straight to favourites in my safari app.

Crossed off another song with about a character moving to another town.

You're doing well Sylvia.

Tracy wrote: "You're doing well Sylvia."

Thanks Tracy :D no effort really just crossing off as I read.

Another one crossed off with for a book about setting me free. Yes, it has many flaws and is clichéd but this genre really lets me loose, so to speak. It's not always meant to be so series and real.

Crossed off reading a love story told from a male's perspective with ...this series is highly entertaining.

You must really like this series Sylvia.

Tracy wrote: "You must really like this series Sylvia."

I'm highly entertained by it lol predictable but still so good.

crossed off reading a book about revolutions :)

Crossed off "read a book about relationships" with ...boy did this have some drama lol

I crossed off another song with and did it have so much suffering in it...my heart was breaking because of all the suffering that was being endured by Emma and Julian.

Whoohoo and awww.

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "I crossed off another song with and did it have so much suffering in it...my heart was breaking because of all the suffering that was being endured..."

Yeah, exactly how this story made me feel <3

Scratched out another song with reading a book about dying in fact 7 times ugh what a bore of a book.

Okay, read which crossed off reading a book about self-discovery. It was such a surprisingly good read fantasy written by an Aussie author.

Sylvia wrote: "Scratched out another song with reading a book about dying in fact 7 times ugh what a bore of a book."

I felt the same way about this one. I just couldn't get into it AT ALL!

Sylvia wrote: "Okay, read which crossed off reading a book about self-discovery. It was such a surprisingly good read fantasy written by an Aussie author."

That sounds really fun Sylvia.

It was just too much and not enough feeling. I guess I'm just not going to click with Oliver and her way of storytelling.

It was fun and different in the sense it was all set a few hours outside of Sydney.

That's cool Sylvia.

Nope

Read and crossed off reading a book about going to war/fighting...the book was the start of it.

Whoohoo Sylvia!

Tracy wrote: "Whoohoo Sylvia!"

This challenge is so easy compared to the others lol

Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Whoohoo Sylvia!"

There are so many options.

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Whoohoo Sylvia!"

That there is :) though I'm not really into zombie books so it's going to be hard to cross that one off lol

Have you read Sylvia. It has zombies but it's mostly a cute YA romance. Really fun read.

Hope I am not barging in here, but, what a great idea! Looks like fun. I love music with books and try to post about it often. I've never seen this approach though! So cool :)

Tracy wrote: "Have you read Sylvia. It has zombies but it's mostly a cute YA romance. Really fun read."

No, I haven't read it but I have watched the movie and rather enjoyed that...hmmmm might be an idea though...thanks Tracy.

Not barging in at all hun :) glad you love this concept of incorporating music and reading. It really is a fun way to read...hope you get the chance to try it yourself as it's never too late to start the challenge.

I just never could catch on with the zombie thing. I mean how do you write a book all about zombies since they can't think, talk or even walk well. Although, the Anita Blake series has several zombies but just because she calls them from the dead. Anyway that's a whole other think.

Yeah, they are quite mindless and dull lol never was interested in them and never will be...
