Hello all! Who’s ready to rock out?! I saw this a while back on the wonderful Novel Glimpse and just thought I HAVE TO DO THIS!!!
This tag was originally done by Katesbookdate on Youtube.
Okay let’s do the hokey cokey and jump right into it!
My Jam:
A song you have to listen to no matter how many times you’ve heard it before
and
a book you’ll never get sick of:
New World Symphony- erm I’ve been listening to this on repeat for years… it never gets old! 😉
The Hobbit!
THROWBACK:
A song that reminds you of the cringiest time in your life
and
a book you read that you wouldn’t like if you were to read it now:
Teenagers… reminds me of, well, being a teenager 😉
I don’t know if I’d like to take back a positive rating! So I’ll just steal Novel Glimpse’s answer, because the cheating in Anna and the French Kiss is really wrong.
REPLAY:
A recent song that you have on repeat
and
a recent favourite book:
Belle- because new to me is a throwback! 😉 My friend introduced this to me and I couldn’t stop listening to it- especially once I started reading Hunchback of Notre Dame– and on that note…
Hunchback of Notre Dame- I couldn’t pick anything other than this to pair with that song!
GETS ME:
A song that is literally me
and
a book that is me in book form:
Right now, I’m feeling a great indie track: Living Room by Martha St Arthur. But ask me tomorrow and I’m going to have a different answer.
Alice in Wonderland- cos I feel like I got lost somewhere down a rabbit hole.
WUT:
A weird song that you liked anyway
and
a unique book that stuck out to you for some reason:
Oh it’s got to be the Anglo Saxon version of Pumped Up Kicks- party like it’s 1066!
Book of Hidden Things is so weird and wonderful and underrated (cos I personally think people don’t really get all that weirdness 😉)
LET’S GO:
Pick your best pump up song
and
a book that inspires you:
This is Your Fight Song remixed by the Piano Guys- because nothing pumps me up quite like the bagpipes 😉
Man’s Search for Meaning- it’s one of the most important books I’ve read in my life.
CHILL:
Your best relaxing song
and
a book you’d curl up with on a rainy day:
So so tempted to go for something like Too Late by Black Sabbath (it does help to let off steam!!) but I think Chopin’s Raindrop prelude is more suitable for this question!
Jane Eyre- c’mon don’t tell me you’re not here for the pathetic fallacy in that opening scene 😉
ADDICTING:
A guilty pleasure song
and
a light, trashy read you can’t help but love:
I don’t have guilty pleasures! Just pleasure 😉 But okay, I listen let’s mix things up: Daddy Yankee’s Dura and the throwback Gym Class Hero’s Cookie Jar. God I was so cool… ten years ago 😉
Also no guilt about Hating Game- love that book!
NOSTALGIA:
A throwback song you look back on fondly
and
a book you read and loved when you were young:
Anything by the Beatles! I was brought up on the Beatles music and it feels like a part of me.
Harry Potter- the wizarding world is the ULTIMATE NOSTALGIA TRIP! And great for this time of year!
And that’s all for now! I tag anyone who fancies doing it! Are you feeling my answers? Or do you think I’m off my rocker?! Let me know in the comments!
So I saw the title of this tag and thought, “OH! That sounds fun!”…Then read your post and realized I had already done it. Haha. How easy I forget. I loved reading your answers — especially where you agreed with me on Anna and the French Kiss.

Loved reading your answers. I like listening to music but I’m not sure if I’d have any tunes I could list for these prompts.

I love Dvorak, too! And The Beatles and Harry Potter! ❤
When I first joined Goodreads, and was adding books I had previously read, I couldn’t remember if I had read The Hunchback of Notre Dame or if I was just remembering the old black and white movie. I need to read it because I’m sure if I have read it at some point I’ll remember. Ha ha. 😅
This tag is very entertaining. 🎶
