MINI-CHALLENGE
Excellent books + song challenge over at alita.reads. Here’s how to play:
* Pick up a book that you’ve read today, or are currently reading.
* Choose a song that goes with the book – could be that it fits the overall feel of it or even a certain scene.
* Create a blog post answering the following:
- Book title
- Soundtrack song
- Why you chose that song
Book title: Music and Silence
Song: Heima by Sigur Ros.
Why I chose this song: Sigur Ros always evokes empty, frozen landscapes that go well with the Denmark-set narrative of this books. This song is also full of yearning and subdued tragedy, much like Rose Tremain's sickly-sweet and aching prose here.
Ohhhhhhh I love Sigur Ros! Great pick! Thanks for participating :)
