This Week’s Theme:
A Hero’s Journey
Heard Through
A Cappella

Initial Thoughts:

(Recommended to be read on the blog as Reader formatting is pretty blergh).

Here’s the thing: I had brain farts as to how to make this topic satirical or “fun” like previous top ten tuesday prompts. Nothing fun really spoke to me so I’m stripping all the fun away and opening up the floor to a genre of music that’s near and dear to me.

Call me some nerdy kid but A cappella music is something I really appreciate it. I’ll be mainly highlighting collegiate level a cappella covers. For the sake of keeping things “bookish”, I’ll be featuring the 12 Steps of the Hero’s Journey that outlines a template of the rise and fall of a hero’s story.

Note: The “opb.” notation will be used as a stand in for ‘originally performed by’. All songs link to the respective artist’s Spotify as it’s the only place that has a repository of recordings.

This Week’s Theme:
If I Had A Time Machine,
I’d Send This Blogger To…

Initial Thoughts:

  1. The theme original featured  historical/futuristic settings you’d love to read about…
  2. …but I don’t have enough vested interest in timely fiction to say where/when I’d be interested in reading, so because I’m me, this change in prompt is necessary
  3. For this post, time/teleporatation machine is synonymous
  4. I could only include so many before this list got too lengthy
  5. Dear bloggers, I hope you enjoy your new world because this is a one way trip and irreversible from my end.” I apologize for nothing if you don’t enjoy your new home (blame your Goodreads favourites piles–okay byeeeeeeeeeeee.)
