What have you GoT on your playlist?

I have been having trouble coming up with book reviews lately, nothing beyond a measly 5-7 sentence containing words like I like it, I wasn't into it, it was great, It was slow. Nothing of substance is coming out of my brain. It has lately been harboring too many songs though, as a result of our High Fidelity (by Nick Hornby) discussion. And I have taken to Spotify-ing and YouTube-ing more often than usual. And the thing with these two, is that it brings up suggestions, recommendations, based on those you have been listening to. You click one and a bazillion other music videos pop up for you to consider. It is endless. It is sinister. So what am I leading to? Today also marks the start of HBO's Game of Thrones Season 5. Music plus GoT? Why not?

Also credit needs to be given to Meliza of Mecanism for perpetuating the idea of a Game of Thrones inspired post. Check out hers HERE.

Okay so, after doing an introduction that seems to be as long as The Long Night that descended upon the Known World, I thought about the idea that if I peeked into the the playlist of a few Game of Thrones characters, what songs would they have?


 Note: No consideration for the lyrics has been taken.

ABNKKBSNPLAKo by Bob Ong (REVISITED)

"Bakit namamalo si Miss Uyehara? May mga notebook bang lumilipad? Bakit masakit sa ulo ang Mafhemafics? Ano ang lihim sa likod ng pagkakaibigan nila Pepe at Tagpi? Bakit may mga taong nakapikit sa litrato? Masarap ba ang Africhado? Sino si Tigang? Bakit may mga classroom na kulang ang upuan? Masama bang mag-isip nang malalim habang naglalakad? Saan ang Ganges River sa Pilipinas? Bakit may mga umaakyat ng overpass pero hindi tumatawid? Sino ang webmaster ng bobongpinoy sa Internet?" I remember having read this book sometime during the end high school or the start of my college years. I did not think much of this book back then. Now, re-reading it as a legitimate (ehem) adult, I found that my appreciation for it has increased.   The power of this book lies in nostalgia. The shared experiences of student life, as humorously related by Bob Ong. And I realized that these experiences, more or less, never really varies THAT much from era to era. The 70s born P...

Instead of Three Wishes by Megan Whalen Turner

Image
Image from Goodreads The first time I've heard of Megan Whalen Turner is through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook . If you follow/frequent her blog, you'd know that she is a huge fan of Whalen's The Thief Series. Being a fantasy fan myself, I've put in The Thief in my (very long) book wish list. Since, I haven't really gotten around acquiring The Thief just yet, when I saw her name on this book I thought it would be a good chance for me to get acquainted with Whalen's writing style. Instead of Three Wishes contains seven short stories, all depicting the existence of magic in everyday lives. 1. Plague of Leprechaun - Tells the story of how a small idyllic town of North Twicking is shaken up by the news of a Leprechaun Sighting, bringing in an influx of tourists coveting the bag of gold that a leprechaun brings. All this chaos proves to be too much for Mag Malleaster, the local innkeeper, and to Roger Otterly, a struggling painter commissioned to come up w...

Top Ten Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. More info HERE . My list includes the series that I am most interested in starting but haven't yet due to any or all of the following reasons: There are quite a number of other series that I have already started on and thus must finish first before starting any new ones; Overflowing TBR as it is; Not enough cash; Not enough guts (horror genre); And or mood swings.  1. The Lion Hunters Series by Elizabeth Wein - I found out about this through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook , whose taste in books I find closely similar to mine, so I have a feeling I'll adore this book just like most of the titles she recommends to me. 2. A Song of Fire and Ice Series by G.R.R. Martin - This was huge last year, with the HBO series starting all the buzz. So, I am hoping to jump into the bandwagon someday. Besides I haven't had any epic high fantasy since LOTR. 3. The Ender's Series by Orson Scott Card - They say...
