It’s no secret that music and literature have a special connection. Many authors have used music as inspiration for their writing, and readers often associate certain songs with their favorite books. But nowadays, some authors are taking that connection a step further by adding playlists to their books. These playlists can enhance the reading experience, providing readers with a soundtrack that helps bring the story to life.
The idea of adding a playlist to a book is not a new one, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many authors have taken to social media to share their favorite songs or playlists with their readers, and some have even incorporated these playlists into their books. The rise of digital publishing has made it easier than ever to include multimedia content in books, and many readers are embracing the trend.
One of the most well-known examples of an author adding a playlist to their book is John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars. Green created a playlist for the book, which he called “The Fault in Our Stars: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack.” The playlist includes songs by artists like Ed Sheeran, Birdy, and Kodaline, all of which are featured in the movie adaptation of the book. The playlist adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the story, and many readers have found that listening to the songs while reading the book enhances their experience.
Another example is Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor & Park, a YA novel set in the 1980s. Rowell included a playlist of 80s songs that she felt captured the spirit of the book. The playlist includes songs by artists like The Smiths, The Cure, and Joy Division, all of which are referenced in the book. Rowell has said that she listened to these songs while writing the book, and she wanted to share them with her readers to help them get a better sense of the time period and the characters.

Some authors have taken the concept of book playlists a step further by creating their own playlists and sharing them with readers. This personal touch adds an extra level of intimacy to the reading experience, allowing readers to connect with the author on a more personal level.
One example of this is Celeste Ng’s ‘Little Fires Everywhere.’ Ng created a playlist for the book, which she called “Little Fires Everywhere Soundtrack.” The playlist includes songs that she listened to while writing the book, as well as songs that she felt captured the mood and tone of the story. Ng has said that she wanted to share the playlist with her readers to help them connect with the book in a deeper way.
