Week 1 : Stories and books
Which is an excellent theme and a good one to start with. Herewith, ten songs that fit it, for your listening pleasure this week. If you've had any more ideas for themes you might like, do keep comments to that effect coming. I have my own inspiration but I really like giving you what you want. :)

It's all a bit of a cliché, but then she knows that - "I could have guessed it all along, 'cause now some drama queen is going to write a song for me..."
