Hello there everyone! I apologize for this being a little late (two weeks in a row…whoops!) but I am a bit of a mess today. The reason why? I LEAVE FOR BEA TOMORROW!!! I have nothing packed, I have nothing even on my packing list, I don’t think I even have a piece of paper to write my packing list on. All in all, I am just a little bit overwhelmed and slightly (okay, EXTREMELY) disorganized.
In honor of all the book nerdiness that will be taking place over this next week, I have book-themed songs for you today. I hope you all enjoy!!!

Hello everyone! I hope your Monday treated you well and that your Tuesday is off to an awesome start. This post concludes the special Cover Edition of Tune In Tuesday. I have had an absolute BLAST seeing everyone’s covers and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. And just so we’re clear, the month of October will be another “normal” month for us Tune-In-Tuesday-Ers! I’ve got quite a big post for you guys today because, quite honestly, I couldn’t narrow down the list. I hope you enjoy!
If you haven’t yet, you NEED to listen to at least one of the “Punk Goes…” albums. My personal favorite is Punk Goes Classic Rock but the Punk Goes Pop (where this song comes from) is close second. The original got way overplayed on the radio when it first came out but I love this cover of it.
Caught Up In You by We The Kings (Original by .38 Special)
You had to have known I would throw in a We The Kings song. They have done a few covers, The Middle being another favorite, but I just love how fun and upbeat this one is!
I love, love, freaking LOVE this version of the song. It is so hauntingly beautiful and totally different from the original.
The One That Got Away by Tiffany Alvord and Chester See (Original by Katy Perry)
Both Tiffany and Chester are amazing artists I found on YouTube. I liked Katy’s version of this song but I really like this version a lot more mostly due to the fact that they slowed it down a lot.
Tyler Ward is another artist I found on YouTube who does some fantastic covers. This particular one is a favorite although it really is hard to narrow it down because I sort of love them all hardcore. He really didn’t change this one up a whole lot from the original and I think that’s what I like most about it.
Ring Of Fire by Lennon and Maisy (Original by Johnny Cash)
Every time I hear these two perform, I am blown away by their natural talent. I could listen to them sing the phone book and I would be entertained for hours and hours but you know what, I think I will stick with a Johnny Cash classic in the meantime.
Bette Davis Eyes by Taylor Swift (Original by Kim Carnes)
Nothing can beat the orignal of this one but I must say, I really enjoy Taylor’s cover of it. Her voice is totally different from Kim’s so it makes for a really interesting cover.
This couldn’t even be called cover edition if I didn’t feature the kings of it, Boyce Avenue. Every cover, and yes, I do mean EVERY. SINGLE. COVER. by them is simply amazing. This guy has some truly amazing skills.
This will go down in history as my all-time, absolute FAVORITE cover. EVER. I love the original something fierce; it’s one of those songs I can listen to over and over again but there is just something about this cover that I love just a teensy bit more. Hope you enjoy!

As you can see, today’s Tune In Tuesday a little bit special. Since it is the kick-off for Jennifer Echols Week, I have decided I would feature songs inspired by the books written by the incredible Jennifer Echols. I have not read all of her books AND it would take me next to forever to make up book playlists for the ones that I have read so I decided I would pick songs based off of the titles. I tried to pick songs that I 1) liked and 2) fit the title as best as possible. Hope you all enjoy!

It’s Tuesday, it’s February, and it’s the month of love. Do you know what this all means? Tune In Tuesday: Love Song Edition is here! For those of you that may not know, for the month of February, us Tune In Tuesday-ers will be posting our favorite love songs! I’ve been going through my list of love songs that I’ve compiled and these are the five songs that popped up this time. I adore each and every one of them so enjoy!
Johnny & June by Heidi Newfield
When this song first came out, I became absolutely OBSESSED! Johnny and June’s love is definitely one to envy.
Hey Baby by Bruce Channel
It is no secret that Dirty Dancing is my favorite movie of all time. It is also no secret that this is my favorite song from its soundtrack! It is just so cute.
Wasted by Angus and Julia Stone
Her voice just kills me every time; it is so raspy and sweet at the same time. This song is beyond loveable & adorable!
Now That I’ve Found You by Paul McDonald featuring Nikki Reed
Can you get any more perfect than this couple!?! Not only will they make awesomely talented and gorgeous babies one day but they also write & sing songs that melt my heart!
Your Love Is A Song by Switchfoot
This is by far my most favorite Switchfoot song. There are just no words <3
