readathon challenge 9

readathon

Alita. Reads. invites us to this hour’s challenge:

  • 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.

As I’m currently reading All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholemew, we need a gardening song. And this one, “The Garden Song,” as performed by John Denver, is my favorite:

But since the whole point of the book is that we should not be planting “row by row,” but instead in squares, I figured I’d better add a second song to help alleviate any confusion:

That would, of course, be the ’80s classic, “Hip to be Square” performed by Huey Lewis & the News.

Perfect song! Love John Denver!
