I have the sudden urge to download her books and re-read my favorite parts! ;) Hehe.<br /><br />I made my CD but for some reason my car doesn't like playing it. Rude! I might need to buy newer CD's. I've had these for like 4 years. Lol. <br /><br />So.. I have a hard time with the characters singing the songs they write in the books. I have no clue on the tempo or anything else. Is it bad that I just skim over those songs?! Unless I know the song, I get frustrated with them! Lol.

Shelly Crane is a new favorite author and she has introduced me to new artists. <br /><br />This is one of my pet peeves too... when an author has one of their characters write a song or poem, but leaves the reader hanging. They don't share anything! This happens surprisingly quite a bit. Marcia Lynn McClure will include the poetry and songs, but so many others glaze over them. I read the Selection series by Kiera Cass and kept waiting for any wesome scene where the main character sings to the Prince, and she never does! Anyway, now I'm rambling. Pet Peeve. But I do love playlists!Briannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192113175156049924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599742805326677348.post-7833486158560496482016-04-30T20:07:23.512-07:002016-04-30T20:07:23.512-07:00Haha!

More songs to check out! :)
And I had no id...YAY! More songs to check out! :) <br /><br />And I had no idea that some authors have actual playlists! That is awesome! I am going to have to keep an eye out for this! And I think I might be bumping up If We Were A Movie on my TBR list! I am sure I'll find lots more new songs! ;) <br /><br />There is just something about having songs in books that help you remember what you were feeling during that particular part of the book.. whether you were sad, happy, swooning.. you get the picture.. ;) Hehe. <br /><br />And P.S. I absolutely LOVE A Thousand Years! I totally need to add that one! <br /><br />*Note to self* Check out Jeanette Lewis's website and posts more often! ;)Kathy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866693694627118740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599742805326677348.post-57333780523612697422016-04-30T17:24:09.624-07:002016-04-30T17:24:09.624-07:00And I totally meant songs in books--I'm super ...And I totally meant songs in books--I'm super tired!

Best I've Ever Had by Vertical Horizon was the first one I remember. I was reading The Host (Stephenie Meyer) and she had a playlist, so that song went through my head throughout. I just read If We Were a Movie by Kelly Oram and it's FULL of songs (When We Were Young by Adele reminds me of the book, but it's not on the list)! Mya O'Malley had a book come out last fall that really opened my eyes to some oldies, but goodies (Van Morrison--Have I Told You Lately, Someone Like You; The Hollies--The Air That I Breathe). I love how Jeanette Lewis has readers nominate a theme song for the couple and then you can vote on it (A Thousand Years by Christina Perri was the latest winner). So many songs... :)Katie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393321967865851084noreply@blogger.com
