Soundtrack Song Mini-Challenge!
Click here for my read-a-thon updates post
THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED
Hello read-a-thoners! Welcome to the Soundtracks Song mini-challenge! I love combining music and books, so let’s do some more of that. Yes, another music challenge coming your way ;)
Here’s how to play:
* Pick up a book that you’ve read today, or are currently reading.
* Choose a song that goes with the book – could be that it fits the overall feel of it or even a certain scene.
* Create a blog post answering the following:
- Book title
- Soundtrack song
- Why you chose that song
* If possible, include a clip of the song (ie, youtube video).
* Come back here and leave the link to your post in the comments. (If you don’t have a blog, you can leave your answers in the comments)
This challenge will be open for 3 hours. At the end I’ll use random.org to pick a winner. And what are you playing for? The winner will be able to choose either 2 books or 1 of the 2 book prize packs from the read-a-thon prize list.
Have Fun!
Here’s mine!
Book title: Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
Soundtrack Song: “The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson
Why I chose this song: This song seems to capture not only Jerusha honesty and wit, but also her sweet protectiveness over Mr. Smith (aka Daddy-Long-Legs), the anonymous benefactor allowing orphan Jerusha to attend college. She would do almost anything for him, and he seems to like her just the way she is.
Fun challenge, Alita. Here’s my entry:

i’m such a music person, so the idea of marrying the read-a-thon to music is perfect! i couldn’t resist.

I love this challenge! I always try to match up music to go with the books I’m reading, so this was right up my alley!!
I’m reading “The Murderer’s Daughters” so the song I picked seemed to go along with it well! Here’s the link – http://sharonsgardenofbookreviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/24-hour-read-thon.html

Looks like you are making great headway
Keep up the reading, don’t let that head sway
Eyes on the page and coffee in hand
You’ll be entering a new land.
GO READER!
I’ve been reading about the Korean naval hero Yi Sun-Shin and he was tough and very effective. My song for him is “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty.
