Falling Deeper

Something I’ve often thought about, would you give a playlist with a book. As you know I use music for inspiration above any other method. I’ve wanted to find a way to include the songs that inspired me to write with my books. Or even a suggested listening list in the back of the book! Is that even possible? I always use music, even when I’m reading something that isn’t mine I have to have something in the background making noise and 90% of the time it’s my phone blaring the songs that make me feel with the book. I really want input on this so please feel free to jump in. I know I’m weird but I can’t seem to get the idea out of my head. I want to put a recommended listening while reading list in the back of the book. I want the reader to feel what I did writing the book.

As you guessed by now today I’m going to bore you all to death with my music obsession. For my first book, The Watcher, I’ll tell you all what song inspired the chapter! Yeah I know it’s dumb, but maybe if you do decide to read my books it will help you understand the book on a deeper level then the average reader.
