Book Music Playlist #1: The Riviera House


I saw this suggestion, while, as I've done, I've searched for blog post suggestions. This idea struck me because, while similar to the Playlist Shuffle Tag, I have a bit more control over the specific songs. Additionally, you can choose a bunch of songs for one specific book. (This is rather than choosing one book for one song, or choosing multiple books for multiple songs.)

Here are the rules:
  1. Choose a book on your bookshelf. It may be easiest to do this with a book you've already read, but any book is up for grabs.
  2. Choose 10-20 songs, scores, albums and/or soundtracks from your music. You can always choose less than 10 songs or more than 20 if you'd like. But choose songs that you'd think work with the book, its setting, and synopsis. (This is why #1 really helps out.) Additionally, I also included albums and soundtracks because it can be hard to choose individual songs or scores for a book.
  3. If wanted, include the years of the music. This isn't a necessary step, but I found it personally helped me, especially for albums or full soundtracks. And others may have an easier time finding the version of a song that you're thinking of (if there are multiple renditions or albums it's on).
It doesn't matter if you actually create this playlist in your music library, or if you just put it together for a post like this. It can be fun to think about this and put it together.
