Top 10 Victorious Songs as Books (Recommendation Nation)

Since Victorious has hit Netflix, everyone has been binging it. Myself included. And what have I learned from it? Well, it was definitely a little more problematic than I remembered, but damn, that soundtrack is full of bops.

And because of that, I’ve had the music stuck in my head in a loop for the past couple of weeks. So, I thought, why not capitalize on it and share my 10 favorite Victorious songs, and recommend a book to go with each them!!

I will admit, some of these were a lot easier than others, but, if you’re looking for something to read once you’ve finished your Victorious marathon, I’ve got a few recommendations for you. Also, be sure to read to the end because I’ve linked to a spotify playlist of all of these songs for you to listen to!!

(Yes this song is super preppy and Wicked Saints is an emo goth child, but trust me it works, in an only slightly ironic way, specifically for one character)

You might be crazy
Have I told you lately that I love you?

And you need to know that you’re the reason why
