Soundtrack Saturday (53)

Hey, there everyone, and welcome to this week's Soundtrack Saturday post!

So anyone who might be new to my blog (or oblivious to this meme) might be thinking, "What on Earth is Soundtrack Saturday?" Soundtrack Saturday is a bookish meme that I created so I could share my love of books and music. Each Saturday, I choose a book and post a playlist full of songs based on the characters, the plot, and the themes in the book.

But that's not all. You can participate, too! I'm inviting all interested book bloggers to participate in this meme! Each week, I'll be posting a linky at the bottom of my post so that you can share your Soundtrack Saturday playlist for other bloggers and blog readers to find.

As with all bookish memes, there are a few easy steps to follow to help you create your own perfect Soundtrack Saturday post:

• Choose a book that you've read or are currently reading - any book is fine as long as you can create a playlist for it
• Create a full (10+songs) or a mini (four songs) playlist for the book of your choosing
•  For more detailed instructions on the different types of soundtracks and how to make them, please visit the meme's homepage.
• Please credit me somewhere in your post. It can be as simple as "Soundtrack Saturday is a weekly meme that was created by Erin at The Hardcover Lover."
• Leave a comment on my blog post if you enjoy the feature
• Add your name to the link-up tool at the bottom of the post

Fangirl

by Rainbow Rowell

Last week, I put together a playlist for Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park. That soundtrack was actually pretty easy to put together, so I decided to challenge myself and think back a few years to when I read Fangirl. 

This playlist is inspired by the characters of Fangirl and Cath's Simon Snow fanfiction novel called Carry On. I tried to include a few upbeat songs for when you just need an emergency dance party and a few songs that reflect the emotions and actions of the characters of the book.

1. "Carry On" by Fun.
2. "Tik Tok" by Kesha
3. "Brave" by Sara Bareilles
4. "The Fangirl Song"
5. "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis
6. "Ask" by The Smiths
7. "I Love It" by Icona Pop
8. "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry
9. "Flaws" by Bastille
10. "Home" by Phillip Phillips
11. "Float On" by Modest Mouse
12. "Us" by Regina Spektor
13. "Collide" by Howie Day
14. "Arms" by Christina Perri

I really hope you enjoyed this week's playlist. Feel free to comment to let me know if there are any other songs you would add to this soundtrack. And bloggers, please remember to link up below if you made your own Soundtrack Saturday playlist today.
