Feel free to comment if any of these songs are your favorites 🙂
19 is better when done by Meatloaf 😉
Loved your books. Reading your playlist is interesting when thinking back over the story.
Thank, Rin. I can’t say all the songs relate directly to the story, but at the very least they put me in the right mood to write it.
I was actually listening to Meatloaf too, but it was “I Would Do Anything For Love”.
I cannot wait to read the rest of the book.
