Playlist of The Book: Favorite series

Playlist of The Book is an every-two-weeks meme hosted by Sam (Literary Lover) and me. Click here for more info about it.

It's the first Playlist of The Book post!!

I'm very interested to see how this meme is going to develop, and I'm also excited for this post, because today's topic is Favorite Series! Basically, I'm going to pick up books that remind me of my favorite series, or name-of-your-favorite-series themed.

So, my favorite series... What is my favorite series?

I have a lot of favorite series: Harry Potter, The Infernal Devices, Delirium... So it was a little difficult to choose, that's why I went with the series that most of us love: Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is always on my mind. And I usually listen to music. That's why every song I listen too reminds me of Harry Potter and Hogwarts, even if it doesn't have any relation with what happens in the books and the movies.

So when I looked for songs I listen to that have a relation with Harry Potter, I didn't find a lot of them. In fact, I found seven songs.

That's why this playlist is a little bit short.
The titles are linked to the video of the song on YouTube.Because I don't have a Spotify account.

Without further do, here are some songs that remind me of Harry Potter:

Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape... Okay, this may not be an actual song, but let's just say it's one.
This does not just remind me of Harry Potter. IT IS LITERALLY THE BEST HARRY POTTER THEMED SONG I'VE EVER HEARD. Who's this genius? 

But right now it also reminds me of Alan Rickman, and it makes me sad.

The Sorting Hat

This is a video I found on Youtube where someone sings The Sorting Hat song, and oh my god it's so beautifully sang, you have to check it out! I started crying when I first heard it.

See You Again - Charlie Puth & Wiz Khalifa
I know this song is from Fast & Furious, but I don't really know why it reminds me of Harry Potter, maybe because of the lyrics...

Never Be Alone - Shawn Mendes
This reminds me of Lily Potter. Again because of the lyrics...
Also, if you haven't listened to any of Shawn Mendes songs: GO DO IT NOW.

Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Meghan Trainor & John Legend
This song reminds me of Ron and Hermione. It also reminds me that I shipped them from the beginning. ROMIONE ALL THE WAY.

I Was Made For Loving You - Tori Kelly & Ed Sheeran
This also reminds me of Romione... I love them. So much. They're just so funny together, and... *sigh*.

Lego House - Ed Sheeran
The music video has Rupert Grint in it. Seriously, how can this not remind me of Harry Potter.


Here it is, my favorite series playlist (and me fangirling over it). It was a really hard work to put all these links *sigh*.

Hope you enjoyed this post. And I hope you had fun with making a playlist for PoTB (Playlist of The Book) if you did.

Top 10 Tuesday: Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

Before going to England, I didn't have a huge TBR. No, I didn't have a TBR at all, because since books are expensive where I live, and when I get a book online I have to wait at least three weeks, I didn't have a lot of books.

But then, I went to England, and I came home with A WHOLE SUITCASE FULL OF BOOKS. You probably guessed it, I still didn't read all the books I got in England. I have 26 books left to read, without counting books I don't even plan to read. So it was really difficult to narrow it to 10 books.

Here are my top ten books I've recently added to my TBR:

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I wasn't a huge fan of Eleanor & Park by the same author, but I have a lot of expectations for this one. I feel like it's going to represent me as a Fangirl.

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

I have really high expectations for this book, even though there's not a lot of hype around it. It's just that the story line intrigues me. It seems different from other books.

This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

 Well, that's a long title.

This story seems so happy. I expect from it to make me smile all along.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Seems like there's a lot of contemporaries. It's just because I kept buying books of this genre, but didn't get to read them, because I'm still not on a contemporary mood. And To All The Boys I've Loved Before is one of these books.

Fairest by Marissa Meyer

I don't plan on reading this book until I get my hands on Winter, but I'm super excited to know Levana's story!

The Elite by Kiera Cass

Yes. I still didn't read The Elite. Shame on me.

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

City of Bones and City of Ashes were amazing! That's why I'm so excited to dive back into The Mortal Instuments and the Shadowhunters world.

I also read The Infernal Devices, which is a prequel trilogy to The Mortal Instuments, and IT WAS AMAZING. FEELS.

I think that's it. I probably didn't put 10 books in here (I didn't count to be honest), but these are the most important books I've recently added to my TBR.

What are the books that you've recently added to your TBR?

Presenting to you: Playlist of The Book!

I'm so happy to present to you a new project I've been working on for a while now. And this project is called: Playlist of The Book! Yeah this is a thing about music AND books, how cool is that?
So you're probably asking yourself: What is Playlist of The Book? and probably other questions, it's just this one that comes to my mind. Don't worry, this post is made exclusively for answering your questions.
Let's start by the basic one:

What is Playlist of The Book? Well, Playlist of The Book is (or will be) an every-two-weeks meme hosted by Sam at Literary Lover (which you have to go check out, she's an angel) and me. Yes, you read right. A meme. A NEW MEME coming to you. A meme with music AND books.
So the main idea of this meme is talking about songs/music, that reminds you of a certain genre/book world/bookish subject/book. Every week there will be a (musical and bookish) subject, and you'll create beautiful playlists from these subjects, because you know that moment when you hear a song and you tell yourself: This. Is. Perfect. For. This. Book. Or: This song reflects this book, PERFECTLY. See those songs and their book mate (I bet you're thinking about one now)? These would make a wonderful baby post for Playlist of The Book. Tempted? Open your Spotify account, or your music app on your phone, or YouTube, and start picking songs for these following subjects that will be featured on the next weeks:

Next Week's Theme. We have prepared a little theme for next week, that way you can schedule it earlier (or keep it until the last minute, we all know we do it all the time some times). So next Saturday we'll have our first Playlist of The Book.
On the 23rd of January, the first theme will be...(drums please) Favorite series! That basically means we'll have to make a playlist of songs that reminds us of our favorite series! I feel that will wake feels -just saying.
You're probably asking yourself: and for next weeks, what themes will we have? As for that, I'll write a post (or a page) where I'll update every time themes that will be featured for the next weeks, and I'll make it appear on the Menu, that way every time you need to work on Playlist of The Book you can just check out that post/page.

How to sign up? Well, that's quite easy, bounce up the link to your blog below (it's just for this first time, after that anyone would be able to join), so we can all your beautiful blog!

So, I think that's it, if you have any other question, make sure to ask it in the comments below, I'll try to answer it as soon as possible, or ask it on Sam's blog (Literary Lover).
Thank you so much if you participate in this new meme, we'll be forever thankful.

An InLinkz Link-up

Review+Discussion: Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

Author: Cassandra Clare

Publisher: Walker Books (September 5th 2013)

Genre: YA Fantasy

Pages: 576

Synopsis:

PS: Do NOT read this if you haven't at least read the two first books in the series

As Tessa prepares to her wedding, a net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain needs one last item to complete his plan. He needs Tessa. Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her.

“Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.” 

This series will always hold a special place in my heart.

This last installment in The Infernal Devices trilogy was heartbreaking, and yet I adored it. I felt joy, happiness, heartbreak and sadness while reading this book, and I loved every pages -every word- of it. I found myself seeking time to read it, to jump again to this amazing world. I found myself devouring the last 200 pages of this book. Cassandra Clare knew how to build this world. She knew how to write endings too.
That ending was everything except what I expected. It was sad, and yet loved it, and I cried after reading the epilogue. Cried so much. And I loved it. 
The characters were as amazing as in the first two books. I feel like every character, Tessa, Jem, Will, Sophie, Cecily, and all the others, go through a lot of development in Clockwork Princess especially. 
Tessa is such an amazing character. She's a determined fighter, and an amazing friend. Jem is so soft and sweet, and yet when you give him a blade he turns into a fighter. And...Will *sigh*. He became the love of my life. He's funny, sarcastic, he sacrifices everything for the people he loves. AND he loves books. I fall in love every time he says a quote from a book (even though I didn't read most of those books). And he knows what quote to say in every situation.

“I am catastrophically in love with you.”

I have no words to express how much I love this book. I never read 200 pages of a book in English, until I started this trilogy. This wonderful trilogy.

The author knows how to wake all the feels in your heart in such a wonderful way. The plot keeps going fluently, but it's like the author stabs you artistically in the heart. And you get feels. Those amazing feels in books. 

“You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.”

See all those quotes? See this amazing writing style? It's perfect.

" I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you.” 

All that is left to say is: read this trilogy if you haven't. It will shatter your heart, but you'll love it. These books will introduce you to a whole new and wonderful world, filled with magical words that make you feel like you're living the story, no, that make you live the story.

Have you read this book? If so, what did you think of it?

Top 10 Tuesday: Top Five 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn't

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

To be honest, there are not a lot of 2015 releases that I wanted to get. I mean, I wanted to get them, but I had to catch up first on 2014, 2013, and 2012 releases. That's why this is a Top Five, not a Top Ten.
So without further do, let's get started:

The Heir by Kiera Cass

Not just that I didn't get this book, but The Elite is still on my TBR pile. Don't get me wrong, I loved The Selection so much, I just don't know why I didn't get around to read the rest of this series. It's probably because I got spoiled a lot about it...

An Ember in The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

This story seems really interesting, all things about The Martial Empire and things like that. I just didn't get to purchase this book. Everyone is raving about A Torch Against The Night, and I'm like: I still didn't read the first one.

The Wrath and The Dawn by Renée Ahdieh

I love A Thousand and One Night, and yet I didn't get to buy this book. Again I don't know why. This book looks amazing, and I never read but good reviews about it. Hope I'll love it too!

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Actually, I wanted to get all of the author's books, but this one was the one I wanted the most. And it's set in LONDON. I love LONDON.

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

Fun story about this book: I actually bought it when I traveled to England. And when I was packing to return home, I didn't find it. I told myself I would purchase it again as soon as possible. It seems like I didn't purchased it again oops.

So here it is, my Top Five 2015 releases that I didn't get yet!

Did you read any of these books? If so, did you like it? What are some 2015 releases that you still didn't get?
