Welcome back to Soundtrack Saturday, everyone. I know it's been a while since my last Soundtrack Saturday post, but I'm bringing it back!
I hope you've been enjoying your weekend. The weather has been warming up here, despite a cold front earlier in the week. The trees are starting to bloom, and I'm starting to think about summer!
If you've
been following The Hardcover Lover for a while, you know just what
happens on Saturdays on the blog. Yup! That's right - Soundtrack
Saturday! If you've never noticed the meme before or are just new to the blog, I'll explain things for you:
Soundtrack Saturday is a book meme created and hosted by me so I can share my love of music with my readers. But this is a book blog, so of course, books are involved! The soundtracks are actually book soundtracks! As I'm reading, or as soon as I finish, I compile a list of songs that go well with the book.
As with all bookish memes, there are a few steps to follow to help you create your own Soundtrack Saturday post:
Anyway... Morgan includes so many playlists and songs in this novel, and I took a few songs from them because it's only fitting, and because Emily and I have pretty much the exact same taste in music. I've also included a few of my own to spice things up.

As with all bookish memes, there are a few steps to follow to help you create your own Soundtrack Saturday post:
- Choose a book that you've read
- Create a mini (four songs) or full soundtrack (ten-fifteen songs) for that book based on characters and plot details
- For more detailed instructions, please visit the meme's homepage.
- Please credit me somewhere in your post
- It can be as simple as "Soundtrack Saturday 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

Ah this looks so fun! I'll definitely have to join in sometime :D I'm not that great with music, but I'm sure I can come up with some mini-soundtracks. (And I do love this book as well, because Frank Porter <3)
ReplyDeleteAh I'm so glad you're doing it again, I've been waiting to join! I've had one prepped for the last few weeks ready to go.
ReplyDeleteGreat songs on that list! I remembered being obsessed with 'That's not my Name' back in the day. I sang it everywhere hahaha
ReplyDeleteI sang that one all the time too! It was just the weirdest but coolest song at the time. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'd love to see what you come up with, Kayla! And don't worry about not being good with music - I've used a few of the same songs for a few different books because they just work.
ReplyDeleteFrank Porter was adorable! It would be wonderful to get a book from his perspective. :)
I love your soundtrack! This meme is so much fun! Thank you for hosting :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great meme and what fantastic choices for Since You've Been Gone! I really loved that book so I'm definitely going to check out some of these songs now. Thanks for sharing Erin :)
ReplyDeleteI just want to say this is so creative and lovely!! I'd love to participate in this in the future and I love the playlist you created for this book. A Sky Full Of Stars! God I love that song! Great job, Erin :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alejandra! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have you participate whenever you can, and just know that I'm always here if you have any questions about the meme. Thanks again! :)
