Book Theme Song -Linkin Park Edition

I have been a Linkin Park fan since middle school. Every song has its own personal connection and even the newer material still resonates within me. With that said, it has been a while since the passing of Chester Bennington and I dedicate this book tag to his work and band.

1. Castle of Glass- Mockingjay by Susan Collins
Much of this book is Katniss being told she is this icon, the face of the rebellion. She is supposed to be this strong, fearless person for the rebels to look up to. Yet, Katniss does not feel strong. She feels broken and lost. She isn't ready to face the new world she unintentionally helped create. Likewise, this song can embody Peeta's progression in the story.

2. Bleed It Out- The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
I read this book when I was in middle school and consequently, I had this song playing in the background. The Chocolate War is set in a Catholic school, where the school's secret society uses intimidation to enforce the cultural norms of the school. Anyone that doesn't fall in line will be subjected to social, mental, and emotional torture.

3. Somewhere I Belong- Being Jamie Baker by Kelly Oram
This unusual superpowered teen just wants to belong. She doesn't want to think about the day she got her powers. In fact, Jamie just wants to blend into the background and lick her unusual self-wounds in peace. Honestly, this is the first book in a series and possibly the best of the three. Warning of rape.

4. At the End- Heist Society by Ally Carter
Katarina Bishop wanted to leave her family's business behind her, but as she learned you can't run from who you are inside. Afterall, at the end of it all, while her family business may be one thing, she is not like them.


5. No More Sorrow- The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
This is my favorite book of all time. If you have no clue what this book is about, let's just say it has betrayal, treason, false imprisonment, and revenge. Honestly, No More Sorrow is Edmund Dantes' theme song.


6. Numb- Nana by Ai Yazawa
This unfinished manga can be sung by either Nana. Their storylines bleeds the lyrics of this song. Both women are under the pressures of society/work and have yet to come out of the numbness that they currently feel.

7. What I've Done- Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro
Without spoiling the ending of this book, Charlotte Holmes and her family not only should have this song playing as the theme song but as a warning for what is to come.



So that's my take on this book theme song book tag. What do you think? Leave a comment below on what you think.
