Re-reading

Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

Theme Songs

Hosted by Letters Inside Out

The theme song I chose for my current read, Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, is "Running Up That Hill" as covered by Placebo. In some ways it works really well and in other ways it doesn't really work at all, but I think the mood of the song sort of fits the mood of the book, which is what I was looking for.

I don't know why the video is upside down, but it's a good song!
