PLOT TWISTS & PLAYLISTS
Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2026

Love books? Love music? With this challenge, enjoy them both all year long!

For this challenge, choose some of your favorite music and read books that somehow relate to your all time favorite songs!

This is YOUR challenge so the books you choose can relate to the songs in whatever way works for you. It could be the release dates, words in the titles, or even a personal experience the song makes you think of.

Some examples:

Book: One True Loves (The husband in the book is named Jesse.)
Song: "Jessie's Girl," by Rick Springfield

Book: Heart on a Leash (A dog on the cover appears to have a smile on its face.)
Song: "Smile," by Uncle Kracker

Book: The BFG - published in 1982
Song: “Africa” by Toto – released in 1982

Book: Stay
Song: “Stay,” by Sugarland (Title in common)
