What is Your Favorite Book Playlist?

What would movies and tv shows be without a soundtrack? The truth is, music helps build mood and is part of the expression of an artist and the story they are trying to tell. The best soundtrack I ever got was the soundtrack to the movie Garden State. I hated the movie really. But the music was awesome.

Music can also play a role in books. For some books, music is an integral part of the story. In Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, Annabel spends a lot of time listening to music. Annabel's life is changing - old friendships are strained, her family may be falling apart, and she is finding herself friends with an angry loner named Owen. This is teen fiction at its best. And honestly, Sarah Dessen is one of the best teen authors out there.

Sarah (we're on a first name basis, she just doesn't know it) is so awesome she put together a playlist for her book. Here is the playlist and a reason why she choose each of the songs.

Then I thought - how awesome is that, making a playlist for a book? I am not the only one who thought that. Here is a lists of book playlists put together by authors or fans of some of your favorite books.

I think that should be everyone's challenge: Take your favorite book and come up with a music playlist that best expresses the book.
