Blog Tour: The Selection Series + GIVEAWAY

Hey, everyone! I don't know if you've heard, but the fifth and final book in Kiera Cass' Selection series, The Crown, came out yesterday, and I am so so so so so excited! I've been there since the beginning with these books, and I feel like they are a special part of my reading life. Today, I'll be sharing a few of my favorite quotes from the series, but before we get to those, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit the books.

The Selection Series Book Blitz + GIVEAWAY

Today is the day that the fifth and final book, The Crown, in Kiera Cass' super popular Selection series publishes!

It's kind of a bittersweet day for me because I've been with these books for such a long time. I remember seeing all kinds of hype on The Selection on Goodreads, which led me to preorder it, and I've preordered every book in the series since.

Keep reading to catch up on all of the books and enter to win the entire series from Irish Banana Blog Tours!

Waiting On Wednesday (44)

Waiting on Wednesday is a bookish meme created and hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.

Each week, bloggers shine the spotlight on upcoming book titles that they are waiting on. This is one of my favorite memes, and you've probably noticed it as a frequent feature on my blog.

It's pretty simple to participate in Waiting on Wednesday:

• Create your own Waiting on Wednesday post that features an upcoming title (or titles) - I usually only go with one book a week because seeing all the titles can be a bit overwhelming for me.
• Be sure to credit Jill somewhere in your post (see how I credited her above?)
• Link up to the Linky on Jill's blog so that others can see your post

Soundtrack Saturday (8)

Soundtrack Saturday is a meme that I created because I often find myself thinking of songs when I'm reading. It's a way that I can share those songs that I think of when I'm reading with other people.

To participate, all I ask is that you link back to my blog in your post, comment on my post, and add your name to the link up. Then, you can either create a mini-soundtrack or a full book soundtrack. For instructions, feel free to visit the Soundtrack Saturday page. Feel free to use one of the Soundtrack Saturday logos that I have on my blog, but you can also make one of your own.

Last week's post was about The Selection by Kiera Cass, so this week, I'm focusing on the sequel, The Elite. I read this book as soon as it was released, so some of the songs might be a bit off, but from what I remember, I think these songs are a pretty good fit for the novel.

 

1. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
2. "Never Mind" - Taylor Swift*
3. "Still Into You" - Paramore
4. "It Will Rain" - Bruno Mars
5. "They Don't Know About Us" - One Direction
6. "Runaway Circus" - Lucy Hale
7. "Team" - Lorde
8. "Why Can't I" - Liz Phair
9. "Outlaws" - David Lambert
10. "Thunder" - Boys Like Girls
11. "Poison and Wine" - The Civil Wars
12. "Clarity" - Zedd feat. Foxes
13. "Quit You" - Cedar + Gold

*Unreleased song

So... what do you think of these songs for The Elite? I tried to capture some songs that represent the many feelings that America, Maxon, and Aspen have throughout the book.

As always, feel free to leave a comment, and if you participate, let me know! I'd love to see your soundtracks for the week.
