Folklore Book Tag #Booktag

I am somewhat a fan of Taylor Swift but her recent album Folklore was actually good and manage to download the songs into my iTunes. Any of you all a fan of Taylor Swift? I really do listen to most of her songs and do enjoy listening to them, so yeah, you can say I am a fan of Taylor Swift. But then I really like her Wildest Dreams and Love Song and still listen to those songs.

There is a book tag going on with a mention of Folklore Book Tag. I wasn’t tagged but then I came across this tag from a blog, Books, Teacup and Reviews, and the original idea is from another blogger Ilsa @Whisper of Ink for this wonderful idea! Anyway, this blog post is an excuse to listen to her new album so I can match the songs with the books. So let’s follow the rules before we start on our pick!

THE RULES

  • Link to the original creator: Ilsa @ A Whisper Of Ink
  • Tag at least 3 people.
  • Declare the rules and list of prompts in your post
  • Thank whoever who tagged you and link to their post

So let’s start matching up the songs with the books.

The 1 – A Book with an ending that left you speechless

This song is so catchy and really soothing…so the book with an ending that left me speechless is…Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris. I think I have a blog post with my review on it but the reason why I said it was speechless was…the book turned out to be really good and the ending was lame…so it kind of left me speechless in the end.

Cardigan- a book that makes you feel happy and sad all at once

I really like the piano music in the background…so the book that made me happy and sad at the same time? Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart. A touching and emotional story between a father and a daughter, that story made me sad and happy at the same time.

The Last Great American Dynasty- a book with fascinating and extremely well told story

I like the song…so catchy and soothing but the book I have chosen for this…not really my favorite book but was well written and realistic. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

Exile- a book you wish hadn’t read

Again, I like the piano music playing in the background along with Bon Iver’s voice. Anyway, the answer to this, I have so many books I wished I hadn’t read. But I would say, Chetan Bhagat’s Half Girlfriend was one of the books I wished I hadn’t read.

My Tears ricochet- a book that made you cry uncontrollably

There are some books that actually made me cry—but Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns made me cry.

Mirrorball–a book that feels like it was written just for you

Honestly I have no answer to this question, although I really like the song–Taylor Swift’s voice sounds so haunting in this song.

Seven- a childhood book that makes you feel nostalgic

Even as a child, I read many books, by Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl but nothing makes me nostalgic as Harry Potter did to me. Harry Potter really affected me so much.

August- a book that reminds you of summer

Nothing but the Lido by Libby really reminds me of summer.

this is me trying – a book that deals with loneliness & sadness 

I like this song…it’s so haunting and soothing…is it the violin playing in the background? Anyway, The Secrets of Lost Stones by Melissa Payne really talks about being lonely and dealing with sadness and kind of matches with the song lyrics. I must have done a blog post on this book.

Harry Potter again!

OK, guilty as charged, Harry Potter wins this again as Harry Potter is the one that made me get into more reading.

mad woman – a book with a female character you adore.

I like again the piano tune at the beginning of this song. Anyway, here is a list of my favorite female characters

  • Hermione Granger from Harry Potter
  • Ella from The Girl I Left Behind
  • Louisa Clark from Me Before You
  • Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice
  • Kasia Kusmerick and Caroline Ferriday from The Lilac Girls

And there are many more

epiphany – a book that was haunting

Again there are so many to choose from. But I would say The Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelley was a haunting book along with Daughter of Reich by Louise Fein. And I really like the song…

betty // a book couple that fills you with yearning

I like the harmonica at the beginning. A book couple? I would choose Simon and Blue from Love Simon and also Liz Lightley and Macky in You Should See Me in a Crown.

Hmm…too many to choose from.

hoax a book that you thought you were going to love but didn’t.

I so love this song…the piano music makes it more haunting coupled with Taylor Swift’s voice. So the book I thought I would love but didn’t? Paper Towns by John Green. I don’t understand the hype about this book.
