Dementia - Reading Challenges discussion

Pick your favorite song of the moment or all time, provide a link to the song or a music video for us (see some html is ok above your comment box if you're not sure how) and then read the title of you song.

For this challenge you may use the first letter of a primary word in the title (excludes the, of, and, an,...), or of an authors name.
For example, you could use any of the bolded letters in the following:
The Taste of Night - Vicky Petterson.
Just remember to bold the letter you are using.

Not my all time fav, but at the moment I've been listening to Mad World a lot. I normally listen to really up beat stuff, but recently I've been listening to more indy and just melow songs to keep me from stressing out.

Heather, I didn't like it the first few times I've heard it, but it's growing on me a lot. I like Heavy and Cosmic Love by her.

me too. i like most of her songs

These books all just have to finished by end of April, but we can finish them before then and they'll still count, right?

Anything read from Dec 16th (the day the challenged open) until the end of April counts.

Okay. Just makin' sure; thanks :).

Does anyone know two books that I could use for "O"?

Let me know if you need more. Book 5 of the Rardin series (the first cover in the list) starts with an 0 as well.

Thanks, Heather! I think these will be fine :).

I'm not sure what you mean by openings and endings.

confussed........ wats going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Confused about the challenge? Or the anime thing?

both.....

Pick a song that you really like right now and write the title of it out. Then try and find book where the title or the author matches up to the letters of the song title. Zakiya has filled hers out really well. Take a look at hers and see if it makes sense.

No prob. I like a lot of background songs that don't get classified as "songs," but they're on scores for different things.
I thought you were asking something about anime books and I couldn't figure out what openings and endings would have to do with this challenge since you have to finish a complete story. That's where my mind went.

my favorie song as of late is September by Daughty heard it during my road trip to Florida and ran out and bought the CD...love the whole thing.

what did u think about Real Live Boyfriends? i read all of the first three and really want to read it

i really liked it. the entire series is hilarious:).
Real Live Boyfriends was a very quick read, for some reason it felt shorter than the previous ones...

its probably because the series over now. i dont think the author showed drag the series out so i think she should stick with four books in it

@Angela That's fine. Which one?

You mean which group? Fiction Fair, They are having members create monthly challenges and I had an idea but I like this one so much more lol

Angela wrote: "You should look into their Cd, so wonderful :)"

I will def do that soon :)

Zakiya. Let me know what you think about Eragon.

Getting Nowhere

Has anyone heard this song before? I kind of happened upon it by accident, but there's something I like about it. I want the horse.

Heather wrote: "Zakiya. Let me know what you think about Eragon."

Love it! I have read it before, just rereading :).

I don't think it's amazing, but it is pretty good. The horse is so cute! Would like to have it, too.

Ya, it's not amazing, but there's something about the beat that I like.

yeah, that i admit. The beat is really great :)

Hmm... Looking back, I believe my fave song has changed, like, ten times. LOL

I know. Right now I like Creep from The Social Network soundtrack.

Right now I'm into "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri, "What the H***" by Avril Lavigne, and "He Wants It All" by Forever Jones. LOL.

I wanted to see The Social Network, but, as always, don't have the time. :(

i love the song Jar of Hearts! its one of my other favorites :)

Jar of Hearts is good. I got Mad World from So You Think You Can Dance too. I always find a few songs I just love over the course of the show. =)

Evil Twin: Love that song! :D

That song makes me cry like a little girl

agreed, angela

Finally figured out what The Dog Days Are Over was! Haha, I had heard it before, just never knew what it was. That's one of my fave songs now :)

I just heard Ke$sha's Cannibal song. I'm dumbfounded. It's so stupid! I don't understand how it got put on a cd.

I liked on Glee when the principal called her Ke-dollar sign-ha. I just wish that they'd stop making crazy people famous. There are good people out there that are talented and driven. She thought it was a big deal that she spent 14 days in a studio to put her album out. Seriously? 14 days of work was a lot?

Ya, she wanted to capitalize on her popularity so she rushed the second ones. Some of her stuff is catchy, but some of the lyrics are just horrible.

I'm ashamed to admit that I like some of her music, don't want to sit at home listening to it but out dancing it's fun

Like I said...catchy...the beat works for the club, but I can't take her seriously at all.
