Book BFF Melissa: Tune In Tuesday

Tune in Tuesday #2

Each week we combine our love for music and books. During the month of March Ginger has asked that we post songs that remind us of a book or whatever book we are currently reading.

I just read and reviewed Stolen by Lucy Christopher. Since the Olympics keeps using this song in their commercial I kept hearing it. I kept thinking that it was a song that Ty would sing to Gemma.

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

This book is about a girl that is kidnapped and taken to a deserted area in Australia. Ty, her captor, has convinced himself he is saving Gemma from a life she hates (A life where her parents don't care about her). He tells her that he is going to make Australia her home and that with time she'll love the land.

The other song that reminded me of this book is Somebody's Watching Me by Michael Jackson hahaha.

Teaser/Tune In Tuesday (#2 & #1)

Teaser Tuesday

I just finished these two books yesterday. They were surprisingly really good! I was listening to my iPod on shuffle and came across two songs that really reminded me of these books.

Tune In Tuesday is weekly event, hosted by Ginger at GReads!. Each week we combine our love for music and books. During the month of March Ginger has asked that we post songs that remind us of a book or whatever book we are currently reading.

Lyrics Here

I think this song shows the love/hate relationship that Caleb & Maggie have. Through all their lies and avoidance of each other they still have passion and love somehow. And I think it's funny that Caleb lived in Chicago and one point.

Lyrics Here

I think this song is more for Maggie in the second book. She's too careful with life after the accident leaves her crippled. She's hiding from everyone and anything that can hurt her. She's avoiding and denying her feelings. But slowly she gets more strength and courage and goes after what she wants. Instead of hiding her pain and pretending she's okay she starts learning to forgive and love with Caleb's help and starts living again.
