Let’s play a game! Inspired by Book Riot‘s “We Didn’t Start the Pale Fire: Books Summarized By 80s Song Titles,” I thought I’d make my own list of book-summing song titles — drawn from the 90s, since that’s the decade that represents my childhood. And the books will be those previously reviewed here at Postcards, specifically the ones on the Favorites page.*

* As of this post, anyway. I’m counting The Hunger Games series as one book, as well as The Last Unicorn book + graphic novel, respectively. And excluding Castle Waiting Vol. 2, since I didn’t actually talk much about that one.
