Music Monday 1 – Love is Complicated

Video of the Week: Hot Soldiers Sing Call Me Maybe

I’ve been watching on the sidelines for a few weeks and today I was inspired to jump onto the Music Monday Blog Hop hosted by Meg at the Book Asylum. Music Monday is a blog hop that showcases songs which remind us of specific books.

Music Mondays @TheBookAsylum

The inspiration for my first Monday Music pick struck when I heard Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” while riding in the car the other day. I still love this song, and haven’t been able to get it out of my head for the past three days.

Complicated – Avril Lavigne

Makes me think of . . .

Private Passions (Private, #4)

One More Day (The Alexanders, #1)

I love me some Mary J. And while this isn’t my fave Mary J. Blige song, I think she expresses a sentiment with which many can identify in “Mr. Wrong.”

Mr. Wrong – Mary J. Blige

Makes me think of . . .

Private Paradise (Private, #2)
Private Pleasures (Private, #3)

So Music Monday #1 has revealed my current Jami Alden addiction. The woman has sexy contemporary romance on a string. Seriously.

So What About You?

Do either of these songs make you think of a specific book? Or do any of these books make you think of other songs? I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below.

    I’ve never read any of Jami Alden’s books, but now I’m intrigued. Just added a few to my goodreads to-read pile. Thanks for the excellent suggestions. And thanks for participating in Music Monday!

    What an intriguing idea for a hop. Interesting how those songs did, indeed, trigger memories of books for you. It never occurred to me to connect music to books I’ve read. It might now!

    I’ve never read Jami Alden but you’ve piqued my interest! I’m going to definitely check out her books.

    This is a great blog hop!

    P.S. Love both these songs!

    Wow now this is an interesting blog hop. One I’ve never seen before and I thought I’ve seen them all. I like how you connected songs to books. Very interesting, indeed.
