Top Characters I've Named Pets After
Characters I've Named Pets After
Romeo - The beautiful blue-eyed cat who held this namesake lived to be 19 years old! I got from my grandparents' farm in first grade. At the time, of course, I wasn't fully introduced to Shakespeare, but one of my favorite country songs that year mentioned the name "Romeo" and I just understood in kid-terms it meant a cool boy you love.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - My sweet odd-eye cat from middle school. I don't remember why I picked this character name out of the sea of awesome Star Wars characters. Maybe because he was as white as Sir Alec Guinness' hair? (Sorry Sir Alec!)
Taz - He was a black cat with just a hint of orange-ish stripes that appeared a little brown. So fluffy that he appeared plump; he reminded me of the Looney Tunes character. The Taz-Mania cartoon show and comics were also popular at my school at the time.
Frodo - The Return of the King was recently released and this pup had eyes as blue as Elijah Wood's appear onscreen. But, as a Great Pyrenees mix he ultimately grew bigger than any hobbit. He was quite the adventurer though, running over the hilly cow pasture.
The Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) - The newest addition to my family is a black kitten who is quite the little panther. I've been wanting to do something to honor Chadwick Boseman, who I thought was a great actor and I was deeply saddened over his untimely passing; giving the kitten his name just fit.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Titles That Would Make Great Song Titles
Book Titles That Would Make Great Song Titles
Love this topic, btw! One of the best IMO, rock on my book people!
Unite Me by Tahereh Mafi - I think, pretty much, the entire Shatter Me series titles would make good song titles (Shatter Me, Ignite Me, Destroy Me). I could see "Unite Me" as a rock love ballad by someone like Imagine Dragons. The sort of song you could play at a wedding or wedding reception like Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing."
An Offer From A Gentleman by Julia Quinn - I think this one could be rock or country. It reminds me of lyrics from The Killers "When You Were Young," but I could also see some pop-country chick like Taylor Swift singing about the ideal country gentleman.
Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton - This title is just so much fun to say. Since reading this collection of comics, I've done my best to work the title into my everyday vocabulary. It'd make a fun punk rock or rap song.
To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han - Back in my pop-music-hay-day I'd say this could be a song by Pink or No Doubt. But I could equally see it as a soulful ballad by Adele.
Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli - The sequel to the song “Call Me Maybe,” perhaps? I haven’t read this one yet, so don’t spoil it for me! I get a sassy Megan Trainor vibe, too.
We Keep The Dead Close by Becky Cooper - This one is straight out of the Goodreads Choice Awards best nonfiction nominees. I don't normally read about murder mysteries, but the title and cover of this one made me do a double take and read the synopsis. The title could make for an interesting ska or metal song.
All Along You Were Blooming by Morgan Harper Nichols - I’m thinking this title could be an inspirational folk indie song. The kind with boho clothes and fields of flowers.
You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle - Ouch, sounds like a break-up song, even though the synopsis sounds like it ends in HEA.
You Had Me At Hola Alexia Daria - Cute title could make a cute Latin-pop crossover. I'm thinking to the tune of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie."
There's Something About Christmas by Debbie Macomber - Ready for holiday tunes, yet? Anyone? I typically do not crank up Christmas music until December.
