I love music and soundtracks in particular. When I discovered that authors created playlists to go with their books, I wanted to be all in. Unfortunately, pairing the right music with anything is not in my skill set (check out my TikTok videos if you don’t believe me).
Author Carla R is one who does create playlists to go with her books. I asked her some questions about how she does it. Read more below.
Jennifer Franz Griffith: How do you think making a playlist enhances the reader's experience?
Carla R: In the beginning I made the playlists for myself, but I had a few readers ask if I had one. I think much like a fantastic score for a movie can really make a scene, it works for a book too.

JFG: How do you decide what songs to include?
Carla: I try to bring the feel of the book into the Playlist. Sometimes it might be a song I listened to while writing, sometimes its a song I mention in the book.
JFG: Do you make them for each book or each character?
Carla: Just books so far.
JFG: What's the best platform, in your opinion to use for playlists?
Carla: I don't know if its the best, but I use Prime music. Its something I already had and its pretty user friendly.
JFG: What's your favorite kind of music?
Carla: I listen to almost everything.
