It’s Top Ten Tuesday and the topic this week is Ten Books on Your Spring Autumn TBR List. That’s good except that I went to the Madonna concert on Sunday night and I would rather talk about my top ten Madonna songs. So that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll pair them with one of the eleventy-hundred books in my TBR stack. The rationale behind the pairings will be tenuous, to say the least.
10. Hanky Panky / Innocents and Others by Dana Spiotta
9. Open Your Heart / Upstairs at the Party by Linda Grant
8. True Blue / The Ballroom by Anna Hope
7. Rescue Me / Small Acts of Disappearance: Essays on Hunger by Fiona Wright
6. Crazy For You / If I Forget You by Thomas Christopher Greene
5. Into the Groove / The Words to Every Song by Liz Moore
4. Holiday / A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
3. Like a Virgin / The Girls by Emma Cline
2. Like a Prayer / Thirst by Kerry Hudson
1. Borderline / Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Ed Tarkington
You are a genius. That is all 😉
I think it’s called taking a square peg and just shoving it in a round hole until it fits…
Love this!
Favourite Madonna song? (everyone has one, right?)
Oh, how to choose? I love Get Together and Music…and from classic Madonna, Like a Prayer and Express Yourself.
Haha, love the way you set up your list this week! Happy reading 😀 (your list reminds me: I’ve been meaning to read Beatriz Williams’ books for so long xD)
Put some Madonna on in the background!
I highly approve of this list.
Yes, the music part meets with my approval but I hope no one scrutinizes the book pairings too closely…
haha This is so fun. Like a Virgin pairing seems most fitting. 😀
The Girls pairing is probably the most appropriate – the rest…. shaky!
Whatever floats your boat …
Some very interesting concert moments… memorable, for sure!
I don’t think I’ve heard of any of the books on your TBR list… but I was in my teens in the 80s so I love Madonna’s early stuff (Holiday, Borderline) as I was a huge fan at the time. I used to LOVE dancing to Into The Groove and Like a Prayer!
Ha! Totally love this.
