Activity Número Three — a playlist for the book

Here are the songs that I think will match key points in the book! They are all decent-ish songs, some better than others but I think they all suit the book well.
Fix You by Coldplay. This song is sad and depressing but also uplifting in a twisted sort of way. I think this song would be great in a musical montage when Liesel and Max are trading dream stories and are in the process of becoming friends. In a way, they need to fix each other, so this song is really great.

Acoustic version of Destination by Imagine Dragons in the ITunes special edition album. This song is happy and upbeat and suits the moment when Liesel and Rudy are running away from almost getting caught in the process of stealing apples. It is a great and uplifting moment in the book and the song really symbolises that.

Nothing Left To Say by Imagine Dragons (again!) when Liesel comes out of the basement when Himmel Street is bombed. The song has an awesome instrumental solo in the middle that goes for a few minutes so I think that would be really great, as you could still hear Liesel's anguished cries over the top.

And I can't real think of anymore, but I think these are the real turning points in the novel and I think these songs cover them nicely.
