When I read I get caught up completely in the book's world and real life outside just ceases to exist. Which explains why even today I barely flinch eating cold meals because I've gotten so used to it :). But lately I've taken to listening to my CD of Era (sort of new age, with beautiful vocals) while re-re-re-reading my favorite parts of Lover Revealed - which is more or less anything involving Butch and V :). And now one of the songs, Mother, has sort of become their anthem for all the emotional scenes - when V finds Butch in the woods, the induction ceremony, and most especially, V's breakdown at the penthouse. Haunting. No matter what the characters or even the author of a novel set as soundtrack, I prefer to choose which songs fit MY mood when I read said books :).Mary M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03726644215852180932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-7113538969555542972007-08-13T18:15:00.000+02:002007-08-13T18:15:00.000+02:00I tend to do soundtracks (or just pick artists) fo...I tend to do soundtracks (or just pick artists) for my characters, too.

After Wren's book, I haven't picked up any others. Wren was oookay, if I didn't think too much. <BR/><BR/>You know, I can't think of a song that goes with anything I've read or wrote. I'm always listening to music, but what I have in my CD player is more dependent upon my mood than the book. Strangely, I seem to be on some Scottish singer kick. I just got KT Tunstall and Paolo Nutini. <BR/><BR/>Oh, wanted to pass along a warning. DO NOT read Key to Conflict by Talia Gryphon. Have heard from multiple sources that it is horrific. <BR/><BR/>Since I already have Demon Angel, I bow out of that give-away. Did you see the excerpt for Demon Night at her site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-6999882656359935632007-08-10T14:13:00.000+02:002007-08-10T14:13:00.000+02:00Naomi - That's a great point.

LOL - when I think of that song it just solidifies the character for me.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-54276833278535321422007-08-10T12:11:00.000+02:002007-08-10T12:11:00.000+02:00I have soundtracks for my own characters, rather t...I have soundtracks for my own characters, rather than books.
