 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be recommending you guys books based off of metal songs. I've seen some of these going around where it's like usually kpop I think but I don't know how many people in booktube listen to metal but I still thought I'd make a video and recommend you guys not only some books but some songs as well so these are five songs that I adore and I paired some books with them as well. I can't play the songs in this video because of copyright but I'm gonna put the album cover up and link everything down below if you guys want to listen to them. The first song I want to talk about today is The Safety of Disbelief by like The Torch. This is a song that I absolutely adore and it just really just it hits me in the feels and some of the lyrics go like I will fail you constantly. I am broken the like just talking about the safety of kind of disbelief just like the song title says but I decided to pick two books for this one so I went with and then there were none by Agatha Christie. I love this book. Basically if you do not know ten people are lured to a island and then they all die one by one and you kind of have to solve the mystery the who done it kind of situation so I picked this one to go with this song just because the disbelief and not knowing and the confusion throughout reading this and trying to solve the pieces and you know solve the puzzle figure out the mystery that's why I decided to pair this one with that song and I also decided to grab Retribution Rails by Erin Bowman. This is actually a second book. The first one is Vengeance Road but I specifically loved Retribution Rails like so much like it's like a five-star read for me. It deals a lot with revenge and it's a Western and it's just so so fun and I really loved this. A lot about freedom and then there's gangs involved in this as well so this is just a book that I think is super interesting. Definitely check out the first one and the second one is way better in my opinion but yes these two books just really kind of go with that song for me and while I was listening to it I kind of thought about these two so these are two recommendations for you guys. Except here I have a song called I Apologize by Five Finger Death Punch. So this song I really like and I don't know some people have different opinions about Five Finger Death Punch but I've seen them live and I just have a soft spot for them and I really like this song but I decided to pair the Virgin Suicides with it because basically the Virgin Suicides is a book that I love that I talk about all the time. I haven't really shown this edition much but it's um I got it from thrift books. I have like 11 copies so this is one of them but I really like how this one looks as well. It's the movie edition. This is basically about the five Lisbon daughters who all commit suicide but these boys that live across the street and really admired them and watched them kind of thing and they tell the story of when they were alive and how all the events played out and how they viewed these girls. Wait it has a dust jacket and then it's this book underneath. What? What? That's cool. Okay I associated this book with the song because there is just a lot of guilt going around not only for the boys but for the actual family of these girls that committed suicide so that's why I kind of want to tie that in. If you don't know I love this book so much. It's one of my it's literally my favorite book and yeah if any of you guys want to read it let me know. I would love to buddy read it with somebody because I've been wanting to read it for a little bit now and it'd be so cool to read it with someone who's never read it before because I've read it a lot so I don't know but I love this book and I would highly recommend it and the song. It's a good song. Next song is Bloody Creature Poster Girl by In This Moment. I love this band. They have so many great songs. Horror is a great song. Blood is a good song. There's there's so many great songs especially on this album but I decided to pair it with Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. So this takes this is actually the sequel to The Shining so it takes place after the events of that so I'm not gonna say too much because I don't want to spoil anything but I believe you some people can't do read it separate and some people read it in order. Either way I'd recommend reading The Shining anyways because it's incredible. I paired this one with kind of the Bloody Creature Poster Girl because I was gonna mention Rose who is the cult leader in this book and I just think she just fits really well with a lot of these lyrics and he's a villain in the story but she's also really interesting and she kind of I don't know. The song reminded me of this book so I decided to share it with you guys but I read Doctor Sleep a really long time ago and I liked it when I read it. It wasn't better than The Shining for me but I think I really love the movie as well. I have a review for the movie but I would still recommend checking this out especially if you love The Shining then this is definitely like a read for you because you got to finish off the story I guess. Next up I have Hatspin by Butcher Babies. I've never listened to this band other than this song and this song is just incredible. I don't know what it is but it makes me want to dance and it's just great. It's just it's a bomb. So I wanted to recommend The Feeding Male of the Species by Mindy McGinnis. This book I adore. It's so good it's so dark so there's so many shorter warnings for this book so please be aware of that before picking this up but this is about our main character Alex whose sister was murdered a few years ago but this follows a few perspective of kid like of teenagers going through their own kind of things and our main character Alex is dealing with a lot of anger towards the person who murdered her sister obviously. This is a very dark book and the first line is what made me pick it up. It's just says that this is how I kill someone. I learn his habits I know his schedule it is not difficult. His life consists of quick stops of the dollar store for the bare minimum of things required to keep his rage cycle going. His hat pulled down over his eyes so as not to be recognized but he is it's a small town. Like that just it's such a good book. I really want to read more of Mindy McGinnis's work. I have three of her other books but I just haven't picked them up yet. Again if anyone wants to buddy read any of her other books let me know. Lastly I have I Hate It by Under Oath. I bought the vinyl for this album just for this song. Well I like other songs on this album but I love this song. The main the chorus of the songs basically says you're the only thing that gets me high and I hate it and that's kind of just like what this is about. But I want to talk about everything beautiful is not yet ruined by Daniel Young Ollman. This is about our main character Ingrid and her mom was a famous opera singer but due to some situations she's just not anymore and she's not doing that anymore. Yeah she wants to go into music as well but because of her mother's experience she's very skeptical just of her going into music just because she was in music and that didn't really go as planned for her. So this she makes an agreement with her mother that if she can go like her mother makes an agreement with her that if she can stay at this wilderness survival camp for the summer then she can pursue music in the fall. Summer camp is for like runaways and addicts and that kind of thing so that's why I associated this song with this book. But honestly this is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. It was a 5 star read flat off the bat. I wonder I have to look into if this author has published more work because I adored this when it came out a few years ago and it's a really really great like dark darker YA contemporary that deals with a lot of mental health issues so I would highly recommend checking this one out.
