oh, good task! time to go and comb the mybooks pile ;)
As soon as I saw your tasks, one of my favorite songs came to mind, one that's not on the list: "Words & Fire" by the Sam Roberts Band. Hoping it will be acceptable to use the word "words" for the task...
I would like to use "Comin' Under Fire" by Def Leppard(yay 80's music!)
Words & Fire and
Comin' Under Fire
are both fine. Will add them to the list.
I would like to use "Fire and Water" by Great White.
How about "Blood Fire War Hate" by Soulfly? Thanks.
Fun task, Chris! There are several books on my TBR I could use for this. I immediately thought of:Catching Fire, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and Light in August
Oh, and These Is My Words, thanks to Stacie's song.

Good to go.
Can the word be in the subtitle? The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements? World in book and I Don't Want to Se the World on Fire.

**Never mind, just saw the song in the list. I missed it the first time I looked. Sorry******How about the song Heart on fire by Life Divided? If so, then I could use the book Heart of Evil by Heather Graham yes???

Yes. Actually I see songs called Heart on Fire and Hearts on Fire, so I'll add both of them to the approved list.

Fine and dandy. I'll add them to the approved lists.

Unfortunately the plural won't work BUT.... I did find a song called Metal Fire From Hell." Looks like that would work for you. Just use that title when you claim your points. I'll put that and the title of your book in the approved list.

Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” has been burning up the charts, which got me thinking about how many song titles include the word “fire.” For this task, you will select a song with the word “fire” in the TITLE, and then read a book where any of the MAIN words from the song title also appear in the book’s title or subtitle (series titles are not allowed). Articles and short prepositions don’t count (in or on = not OK; through or below = OK). For example, if you use “Set Fire to the Rain,” you could read any book with "set," "fire" or "rain" in the title. The word must appear exactly as it does in the song title. (There is one exception: Saint for St. is OK.)
I have provided a list of the best known fire songs (that I could find) below. Words that can be used for this task are in caps. You may use another song title, BUT YOU MUST CLEAR IT FIRST IN THE HELP THREAD. This is the only list the mods will check to approve a completed task.
REQUIRED: Include the song title you used in your post.
