Especially when the movie is also a musical, like Moulin Rouge. <br />That scene from Say Anything is one of my favorites in a movie....ever :)<br /><br />I have read authors thanking music groups for inspiration. And I have read that Stephen King listens to music really really loud while writing.<br /><a href="http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thebookworm07.blogspot.com/</a>The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-69650521963452500232010-08-18T03:56:54.006-07:002010-08-18T03:56:54.006-07:00Hi Lea!

Usually it's something on the radio I hear and think "that's just like Character X".<br /><br />The other day my 9yo was in the car with me and a song came on the radio and she said "this makes me think of Artemis from Percy Jackson" - LOL, she's a girl after my own heart!!Patti (@TheLoveJunkee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01732605328006594727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-89582208430079227602010-08-16T17:13:12.496-07:002010-08-16T17:13:12.496-07:00Hi Lea! *bending down to pet Tori, sneaking her a...Hi Lea! *bending down to pet Tori, sneaking her a puppy treat, Good Girl*<br /><br />I just had this happen to me recently.... I know I've mentioned reading the Iron Fey Series, but, well, I kind of fell in love with it. So, I took a gander at Julie Kagawa's website (which there are several, lol) and she had her playlist there. I was immediately attracted to one of the song, downloaded it, grabbed the youtube for my post, and made it my ringtone. Obsessive? Maybe a little, lol, but I love it, the song: Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade.<br /><br />And yes, I usually listen while I read, but not always, I think it depends on how intense the read is.... lol<br /><br />As for movies, The Breakfast Club - Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds (does this say something about me?), Pretty in Pink - Pretty in Pink by Pyschedelic Furs, and Grosse Pointe Blank (another John Cusack movie) - Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes, man the whole freaking soundtrack... maybe I watch too many movies...<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-58650714686306186812010-08-16T15:25:10.930-07:002010-08-16T15:25:10.930-07:00Don't music and books go hand in hand?

Then there was another more recent but I can't remember the author or the book, im not sure that I have read the book yet either, I just remember the songs were on the King Arthur soundtrack. <br /><br />I wonder if the author's playlist has something to do with the title of the book...have you ever noticed how many books have the same title as a song?Heather Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632528059311088701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-82536485450252901472010-08-16T13:07:00.542-07:002010-08-16T13:07:00.542-07:00Hey Ms.M.

I would love that as well, takes you right inside the character. <br /><br />Glad you love music too. (I knew that.. *g*) And Yah Acheron!<br /><br /><br /><br />Hey B: <br /><br />Well, I don't think this is for everyone. There are many, many authors who need quiet while writing and find music too distracting and I know readers that feel the same. :-)<br /><br />Thank you!!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521584458356470972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-14936266819836409652010-08-16T13:02:10.080-07:002010-08-16T13:02:10.080-07:00Wow this tab has been up for like 12 hours now, on...Wow this tab has been up for like 12 hours now, one lazy woman today :)<br /><br />Can't say music makes me think of anything special...well except that Titanic scoreBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-87237060473813436762010-08-16T10:55:58.848-07:002010-08-16T10:55:58.848-07:00You know I love music. :) And it's interesting...You know I love music. :) And it's interesting the number of directions we can get to music or books via - Josh's playlist increased your interest in Adrien English books, while reading <i>Acheron</i> inspired me to track down the various Godsmack, Nickelback, etc, songs mentioned in the book.<br /><br />And then there are books like <i>Liner Notes</i> by Emily Franklin, which has mix lists that the main character is listening to throughout the book. I'm a sucker for that, too. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-84887738393864355842010-08-16T05:32:53.986-07:002010-08-16T05:32:53.986-07:00Hi Lea!

Sometimes I will be reading a book and a song will be stuck in my head and for me that song goes with that book! LOL<br />In the last few years I've noticed many authors posting on their websites/blogs a music list that help inspire them to write. I love that!<br /><br />:o)<br /><br />MsMMsMhttp://moonlighttotwilightblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
