Very cool post - I'm going to have to check out Gone Gone Gone, sounds great. I write what I like to call 'lyrical' or 'musical' fiction - I am constantly recalling lyrics as they fit into my own life, so I think it makes sense to have lyrics and songs appear in fiction stories as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing!
Thanks! I agree. :)
DeleteAwesomeness!!! Love the fresh tunes and great books! You rock my socks right off of my feet! Keep up the A-Zing! You're doing amazing! Peace out home skillet!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovelovelovelove this! And you!
ReplyDeleteBackatcha dollface!
DeleteMusic and books. Combine it with shoes and sex wax and I am yours!
ReplyDeleteAnything you want! ;)
DeleteI love reading books while listening to music!
ReplyDeleteReally? I can't. It has to be quiet for me.
DeleteGreat pick for M! I seldomly listen to music while I read, but I love books with musicians as protagonists and stuff like that. I also, most of the times, have a song in mind for every book I read. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to take a look at the books (and the songs!) you've mentioned!
Thanks! I can't have any noise when I read. I do love it when I come across books like these that have their own playlist. I find myself recalling the songs over and over again--sometimes even long after I've finished the book.
DeleteI have several "book playlist's" on my iPod.
I always have music playing for both reading and writing. Many of my characters are musicians, and the narrator of my current work in progress is a bard who often uses musical terminology to describe things. I'm a classically trained musician and I write fantasy with a hard rock soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't write or read with music playing. I just couldn't concentrate. I do love it when authors provide soundtracks for their books though!
DeleteHi! I found your blog from the A to Z challenge. I also love music in books, it can really solidify a setting (if historical) or get into the head of a character. I've heard such great things about Hannah Moskowitz's books, I'm looking forward to reading Gone Gone Gone.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
So cool. I've been known to make "soundtracks" for favorite books I've. Also, as a writer, I ALWAYS make a playlist as I'm writing a story. I find it helps with character development in my mind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post!
