Hey everyone! Another week, another Tuesday Talks! I love that I’ve been able to actively participate in the discussions this year. I hope to keep it up. If you’re curious about what exactly Tuesday Talks is or want to start joining in yourself, be sure to check out the GoodReads group.

If you could put together a soundtrack for your favorite book(s), what songs would you choose?

Oh I’m really excited about this topic! I loved making playlists at one time, when I didn’t have an mp3 player and would have to listen to songs on a CD player. I would make my own CD mixes to listen to, and a lot of them had to do with love and heartbreak funnily enough. I still love those CDs though, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t think I’ve ever made a soundtrack for my favorite books. I’m going to choose two of my favorite books from this year to do this exercise, and hopefully you guys will see why I chose these songs. Here we go!

Red Queen – Victoria Aveyard (playlist here)

1. Castle – Halsey

“I’m headed straight for the castle. They got the kingdom locked up. And there’s an old man sitting on the throne that’s saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.”

2. The Mighty Fall – Fall Out Boy feat. Big Sean

“Your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme, and I’m dizzy on dreams. But if you ask me two’s a whole lot lonelier than one.”

3. You Should Know Where I’m Coming From – Banks

“What if I said I could break your heart? What if I said I have problems that made me mean?

4. Dead To Me – Melanie Martinez

“My condolences. I’ll shed a tear with your family.”

5. HFH (Heart F*cking Hurts) – Mia Martina

“It’s too late for a fix. I’m a wreck over this.”

6. Bed of Lies – Nicki Minaj feat. Skylar Grey

“You could never make eye contact. Everything you got was based off of my contacts.”

7. Bad Love – Caitlyn Scarlett

“You can’t separate, what you need and what you want. Bad love isn’t better than none.”

8. Centuries – Fall Out Boy

“And just one mistake is all it will take. We’ll go down in history. Remember me for centuries.”

9. Battle Cry – Imagine Dragons

“Nobody can save me now. The king is crowned. It’s do or die.”

10. Better Off – Emily Vaughn

“So hard to say that we might be better off moving on without each other.”

The Siren – Kiera Cass (playlist here)

1. Be Okay – Oh Honey

“I’m wide awake, so what’s the point of dreaming when your life is great?”

2. Bad Intentions – Niykee Heaton

Hey everyone! Once again, here is another segment of Tuesday Talks. If you’re wondering what exactly is Tuesday Talks or how to get involved, be sure to check out the group on GoodReads. Each week has a new topic to discuss, so be sure to check out past posts and leave me some comments.

Have you ever met your favorite author, if so did it change the way you felt about their books?

If you have ever met your favorite author, then you are one lucky person! Unfortunately, I have never met any of my favorite authors, as I live in a place that doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic author wise. There aren’t really a lot of people trying to make their way to Guam for book signings or book releases. It sucks for them though, because Guam is so beautiful and there are so many people here on this island that would kill to meet their favorite authors like myself.

I think if I were to ever meet any of my favorite authors, I would totally have a fangirl moment and not know what to say or even behave like a normal human being. I would want to pick their brains, find out what made them make these amazing books and how they have the strength and motivation to keep writing, especially when they have bouts of writer’s block. I would basically want to be their best friends and would absolutely die if they ever let me keep in touch. OMG, right?

Have you ever met your favorite author, or one of them if you have more than one like me? Let me know in the comments below!

Hey everyone! Welcome to another segment of Tuesday Talks. Again, for those of you who are curious about what exactly Tuesday Talks is or if you want to start joining in on the discussions, be sure to check out the group Tuesday Talks on GoodReads. If you want, you can even backtrack and do the other topics from the beginning of the year and catch up! It’s only been two months so that’s not too many posts. Good luck!

What movie adaptions have you enjoyed more than the book?

More than the book… I think one of the movies that I loved so much better than the book was The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I did like the book the second time I read it, but looking back on the first time I tried to read it, I remembered that I couldn’t get through it. I don’t know why. Maybe because it didn’t hit me as much as when I watched it, but I would say that the movie stayed in my heart much more than the book did. Also, when I was watching the movie, I could relate to Carmen way more than her character in the book, even though they were essentially the same person. Also, the movie just made me see things in a different light than when I was reading it.

There aren’t a lot of movie adaptions that I like more than their book counterparts. If anything, I like them just as much as I do the book or less, as with The 5th Wave, and Vampire Academy. There are also some movies that I’ve watched without actually reading the books, like Divergent. Maybe one day I will have another book to add to this list, but for now, the only movie adaption that I like better than the book would the The Sisterhood.

Are there any other movies that you like better than their books? Let me know in the comments below!
