I've been thinking of doing this for a while now and since I haven't posted for a couple days I figured I should do it now. I just ordered a pretty big shipment of new books from amazon so I'm going to have a pile of books to review for you pretty soon :) but then again school's coming back so.... :(
So this post is songs that make me think of a book or a person/relationship in the books or TV show.
True Love by Pink - Katy (Ann) Swartz/Black and Daemon Black's relationship in The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
I know this song could fit for a lot of other relationships, but I feel like Katy and Daemon's fit it best
Echo by Jason Walker - Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, City of Glass, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Isabelle just felt so alone during that period after Max's death, blaming herself for everything I just think this song kind of fits her state of mind
Angel with a Shotgun by The Can - Alex Andros and Aiden St. Delphi's relationship in the Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Maybe it's because I had an obsession with this song when I read this series, but just listening to this song makes me think of the two of them because Aiden will do anything to protect Alex, including breaking all the rules
Shattered by Trading Yesturday - Jace Herondale and Clary Fray/Morgenstern's relationship end of City of Bones through City of Glass, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Because both Jace and Clary are so hurt, confused and broken by the fact that they're siblings, the lyrics in the song 'I've lost who I am' especially make me think of Jace
All of Me by John Legend - Daemon Black and Katy Ann Swartz/Black's relationship in the Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This song also makes me think of Daemon and Katy especially the lyrics 'You're crazy and I'm out of my mind' “Daemon pressed his forehead against mine. "Oh, I still want to strangle you. But I'm insane. You're crazy. Maybe that's why. We just make crazy together.” I just love Daemon and Katy
Down by Jason Walker - Seth Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
this song especially goes for the last book, Seth tried for everything but lost it all I loved Seth and Alex's relationship, didn't you? Seth was just so sweet and adorable
Secrets by One Republic - Simon Lewis and Isabelle Sophia Lightwood (The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare), Jace Herondale and Clary Morgenstern (The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare), Liam Stewart and Ruby Elizabeth Daly (The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken)
This is one of my all-time favorites. It just goes with everyone's relationship, okay? but I don't feel like putting them all down. Okay, maybe not everyone's relationship, but a lot of the relationships in books. "Here. This is a place where you don't need to lie." LIAM AND RUBY Adkjsnv (So excited for In The Afterlight!!!)
Feel Again by One Republic - (another bunch of relationships) Simon Lewis and Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, Jace Herondale and Clary Morgenstern (the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare) Daemon Black and Katy Ann Swartz (The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout), Gabriel Merrick and Layne Foster (Elemental by Brigid Kemmerer), William Owen Herondale and Theresa Gray (The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare) Ruby Elizabeth Daly and Liam Stewart (The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken) Sutter Keely and Aimee Finecky (the Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp)
At least one in these relationships were sort of frozen in some sort of state and the other person helped them to well, feel again. Jace, Isabelle, Daemon, Gabriel, Will, Sutter. Ruby and Liam helped each other.
Uncharted by Sara Bareilles - Katniss Everdeen The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Maybe it's because I was obsessed with this song when I read the Hunger Games, I don't know, but this song makes me think of Katniss
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol - Jace Herondale and Clarissa Morgenstern The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
I don't know, the lyrics just make me think of Jace and Clary
Over You by Ingrid Michaelson - Alexander 'Alec' Gideon Lightwood and Magnus Bane in the beginning of City of Heavenly Fire, The Mortal Instruments
Because they're so obviously not over each other but Magnus is kind of trying to weakly convince himself that he is, so if you listened to the song, you'd get it
Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney - Jace Herondale and Clarissa Adele Morgenstern, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
More for Jace to Clary over Clary and Jace's relationship but yeah
Change by Taylor Swift - Lena (Delirium by Lauren Oliver)
I did listen to all Taylor Swift while reading these books when I was in Scotland, but I feel like this song just goes well with Lena's story- with Julian and Alex
Hey Brother by Avicii - Niklaus Mikaelson from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals
This song, just sort of from Klaus to Elijah and Rebekah
That's all I have for now, you can comment your thoughts or if you have any songs that go with your books/TV shows, if I find more maybe I'll make a part 2 ;) See you guys soon.

The Spectacular Now Book and Movie Review
Synopsis: SUTTER KEELY. HE’S the guy you want at your party. He’ll get everyone dancing. He’ ll get everyone in your parents’ pool. Okay, so he’s not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men’s shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram’s V.O., life’s pretty fabuloso, actually.
Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee’s clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it’s up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever.
Review:
I loved this book. I read it in less than a day, that's not exactly surprising with me because I usually do that with most books, but this was a Romance novel. I don't read romance novels, my type of book is more of am action/adventure/romance/supernatural/fantasy book. OK back to the book. So this book- it broke my heart but was amazing at the same time. I thought that Sutter was an interesting character and I felt for him. Though he is a REAL IDIOT at the end, but we'll get to that later. Then there's Aimee. She's pushed around and cant even stand up for herself. Meeting Sutter changes that. She gets more courage and she's more confident in herself. I laughed in almost 'embarrassment' when Aimee cursed for the first time, that part was just cute and funny. I liked how this book was realistic, it wasn't like everyone was in a perfect heaven of happiness and they all stayed friends forever. No it showed that people grew apart, that's realism. I would rate this story 8/10 stars.because well the dialogue was a little the same when Sutter goes, and she was like, "blah blah blah,." So I'm like "blah blah blah." (they don't actually say blah blah) I took off one star for that, and I also took off a star for the ending.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE THE BOLDED WORDS FOR THE SPOILER TO BE OVER!
WTF Cassidy, Marcus, and Ricky?! You want him to break up with Aimee?! Sure he's KINDA a bad influence on her, but she can make her own choices. Now you 3 have this big idea that he should break up with her for her own good so NOW he has that stupid idiotic idea in the back of his brain. How can you end the story like that Tim? I could really use a sequel right now! HES PLANNING ON BREAKING UP WITH AIMEE AND YOU END THE BOOK THERE! like WTF was that?! YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME!!! I NEED TO KNOW HE DOESNT BREAK UP WITH HER! THEY'RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER! I'm done, I'm just done, I cannot handle this, it is painful, very painful.
SPOILER OVER
Facts:
this is a Romance/Drama story
There was a film adaption of it released the summer of 2013 staring Shailene Woodley as Aimee and Miles Teller as Sutter (Yes people I still ship Fourtris)
It has a depressive ending
OTHER THAN THAT! Read the book, it's really good, and I think that you should read it, even if its not your genre its not mine either, but I read it. And I liked it.
MOVIE
So if you want the synopsis scroll down a few blog posts to my book review.
I would rate this move an 8/10 stars, because it was good, it followed the book pretty well. The Spectacular Now made in 2013 directed by James Ponsoldt
Starring:
Shailene Woodly as Aimee Finecky (Also known from The Descendants playing Alexandra King, The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Amy Jurgens Loved that show, Divergent playing Beatrice Prior, and The Fault in our Stars as Hazel Grace)
Miles Teller as Sutter Keely (Also Known from 21 and Over playing Miller, Footloose playing Willard, Rabbit Hole as Jason, Divergent as Peter, and That Awkward Moment as Daniel) I do ship FOURTRIS
Bree Larson as Cassidy (Also known from 21 Jump Street as Molly Tracey)
Masam Holden as Ricky (Also known from Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn as Micheal Sullivan)
Dayo Okeniyi as Marcus West (May also know him from his role as Thresh in The Hunger Games)
I thought this movie was going a little bit quick, but it was 95 minutes, and it was really good. I thought Shailene and Miles were perfect for their main roles of Sutter and Aimee. Over all I liked this movie, especially the ending, yes I liked that A LOT better than the book's ending, you'll understand why if you read the book and seen the movie.
BTW it's Rated R
This is my favorite part and it's adorable and the background music is called Walk in Trees and I love listening to it, it always manages to make me happy
