I did the regular Playlist Shuffle Book Tag in September, and in October I did the Autumn edition. I thought it would be fun to do seasonal editions of this tag, so here we are.
In the rules and extra challenges, I placed "song/score." This is mainly because I have a lot of soundtracks in my music that include scores (i.e. just music with no lyrics or words).
A couple of notes I mentioned in my original post on the playlist shuffle book tag:
- If any soundtracks come up in this post, I will include the movie it's from
- I won't be linking YouTube videos since I couldn't find YouTube videos for every single song or score
A brief note before continuing. Most of the books I chose for this post don't directly relate to winter, Christmas, or the winter holiday season. This is mainly because I don't read a lot of books centered around this season.
Here are the rules:
- Create a Winter-inspired music playlist (if you don't already have one)
- Put your playlist on shuffle
- List the first 15 songs/scores
- Name the first book you think of seeing that song/score
Extra challenges:
- You can list one book more than once, but try to do a different book for each song/score
- Include at least one book from every genre you own
