Coffeeshop Soundtrack (1)

Between walking to my hospital placement, taking the bus, waiting around between classes,  working out, and those awkward moments here and there, I listen to a lot of music.  Since I also read a lot of books, they start to overlap.  These are my thoughts...

Vampire Academy reminds me of If You Only Knew by Shinedown

If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn

It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, believe in is you
I still believe in you
Oh, if you only knew

Much love, Samantha

TGIF (3): Unexpected Books

TGIF is a weekly meme hosted by Ginger over at GReads!  She asks a question, and everyone can get involved!

And today's question is...

Unexpected Books: Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?

Easy.  Vampire Academy.  Yes, the same Vampire Academy that I know rave about on a regular basis.  It was orginally the title that got me.  Vampire Academy wasn't really an appealling title to me, but my mom bought me it anyways, and the rest is history.  

Another was The Iron King by Julie Kagawa.  Again, this was bought for me by my mother, and it ended up sitting on my shelf for a long time.  It wasn't so much that I had reservations against reading, just that I never felt like reading it.  I actually just tackled it a few months ago, when I had no interest in studying for midterms.  I had that whole series done in under a week.  

What books do you have reservations about reading?  Did you end up loving them?

Much love, Samantha
