YA book group discussion

Many authors get inspired by writing books based upon songs. In addition, we can also recognize songs in the novels we read, whether it be due to emotions, circumstances the characters face, or lyrics that are highlighted in the chapter.

This section is to post any form of book-ish playlist. It could be made by the author, or made by yourself (or made for a book you hope to someday publish!). ^^ It can also range from a singular song to a large playlist. Our only request is that you tag the book/series, the song name w/artist, and the original creator of the playlist (i.e., You, the author, or another bibliophile). Examples will be below. ^^ And location / lyrics is optional (I just like to add it for the whimsical feel).

P.S. I'll also add all of the songs listed for books/series into their own playlist, for listening enjoyment! These will either be attached to my own posts, or in a separate post.

This is a great playlist! I love how you choose more obscure songs from popular artists for it. ^^
