Book Tunes (1)

Book Tunes is a new meme that will be held on Fridays and the point is to share the book your reading and a song you think represents it. Be sure to include the novel you are reading, the summary, the song you think fits it and an explanation of why you chose that particular song. So snag yourself a button, write a post and link up at the bottom of the page!

Summary: Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from the Outcasts–immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives, Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?


Music!: Tonight's the Night by Ludo

Lyrics:
Oh baby, baby, how I lost my mind
Time is quite the killer when you're left behind
The airbag held you 'til the engine slept
At home your pillow cooled while the willows wept

They come and go, love (Come and go, but they, but they)
But they're all the same (d-da, d-da, da da, da da)
even big bad bad boys get scared at night
it keeps them safe (at home baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose'em when I)
Gonna turn back time

Remember in the summer when I held your hand
on the southern shore, finding fossils in the sand
Oh, baby maybe someday you will find me
on that beach beside you again

They come and go, love (Come and go, but they, but they)
But they're all the same (d-da, d-da, da da, da da)
even big bad bad boys get scared at night
it keeps them safe (at home baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose'em when I)
Gonna turn back time

Here we go!

They come and go, love (Come and go, but they, but they)
But they're all the same (d-da, d-da, da da, da da)
even big bad bad boys get scared at night
it keeps them safe (at home baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose'em when I)
Gonna turn back time

I'm gonna save your life 


Reason:
This song just fits. This book really deals with all of Luce's past lives and how she wants to know what goes on in them. This song, though it's actually about a guy who wants to save his dead wife, talks about going back in time. Luce really puts her foot down on the whole subject of what her and Daniel have gone through for thousands of years. I think the song kind of explains itself.

REVIEW: Torment by Lauren Kate

Title: Torment
By: Laurent Kate

Summary (from author's website): Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from the Outcasts–immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives, Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?


Review: I'll start off by saying that I want to find Lauren Kate and hug her. Because this book is awesome. It seems a bit draggy in some parts, but it all pulls together and is TOTALLY worth the read. By the end of it I was squealing and I can't wait for Passion to come out. But then I'll have to wait half a year to get it from my stupid library.


I love the way Lauren Kate writes. It keeps you interested, even in the bits that are a little slow, and drops enough hints where they're needed to be like 'oh! I wanna know what happens next!' The only part I didn't like was the fact that no one could tell that one of the background characters was a bad guy. Luce explains what this guy looks like, and what the bad guys look like, and it's exactly the same. And she doesn't think anything bad with that. So it was one of those 'the reader knows but the character doesn't' type things that normally doesn't bother me. But this guy was kind of obvious. The only thing that could have made it more obvious was if he had a  sign over his head that said "I'M A BAD GUY! COME GET ME!"


Anyways, I want impatiently for Passion.

Mail Time! (1)

So I actually got these books the other day, but so what! I'm gunna write about them now!

The first book I got is Torment by Lauren Kate, sequel to Fallen. If you haven't read Fallen, then you should. It's an awesome book, as is Torment.

Summary (from the author's website): Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from the Outcasts–immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives, Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?


I'm half way through the book and I absolutely LOVE it!

The other book I have waiting to be read is called Mop Men: Inside the World of Crime Scene Cleaners by Alan Emmins.


Summary (from the author's website): A true and strange tale of our times about death, cleaning and making money.

Neal Smither is making a killing. His business puts it plainly, "Crime Scene Cleaners: Homicides, Suicides and Accidental Death." Whenever a hotel guest decides to check out of life, the cops finish an investigation, or an accidental but bloody death is reported, Neal and the Crime Scene Cleaners are the ones picking up the pieces and mopping up the stains.

I haven't started this one yet, but I look forward to it. My roommate lent it to me to read. I recently got interested in crime scene clean up for a character I created. The facts I learned about the job is very interesting. If you're interested in crime scene clean up, you can look at some about it here.

Laters!
