BOOK PLAYLISTS & PINS

Hello, and Happy Thursday, my lovelies!

The idea for today's post comes from the marvellous Sarah Rees Brennan, who made an 8Tracks playlist for her upcoming new novel UNSPOKEN. Which, by the way, I have read in eGalley form - and it blew my socks off. Go get that when it comes out!

Listening to this brilliant playlist inspired me to upload some of the songs from my own writing related playlists onto 8Tracks. Not all of them, you ask? No, I say, because each track lates maybe a minute to upload, and the actual playlists that I use to write with are normally a couple of hours long. Yeah. I don't have that much spare time.

But I have given you aaaall of my favourites. Or...well, the ones that would upload. For some reason 8Tracks doesn't like MPEG4? Which apparently half my songs are? Oh, well. You're still getting a pretty good sampling, way better than I do can by embedding YouTube vids, which is what I have done in the past.

Shadows on the Moon

FrostFire

Katana 

I also wanted to show you my list of Pinterest boards. I've added a couple, and have also pinned many, many new images (some of which are a tad spoilerific, not just for FrostFire and The Katana Trilogy, but also for other distant future projects!). Check it out.

Oh, by the way? Did you enter the Just Because April Giveaway yet? If not, go get on that. The closing date is 25th of April.

Your pictures on your pinterest boards are gorgeous. I felt inspired as soon as I saw them. I especially loved the Frostfire ones. You could feel the atmosphere of the story coming through. I am even more eager to read it now! :D

Thank you, Rebecca! Not long now - July the 5th :) I'm so addicted to Pinterest it's not even funny - you wouldn't think I'd keep adding images for books I've already finished but I. Can't. STOP.

All of your pics are so gorgeous! I love them. :) I also listened to a few of the songs, and recognized one of the Katana ones from an old vlog you made a while back. Possibly the one about notebooks..?

Isabel: Gosh, your memory is better than mine - I honestly can't remember if I've used one of them in a vlog before! This tendency to be extremely observent will serve you well in life :)

I've just been looking through all your photos again. Where do you find them all? When I've been trying to find pictures that go with the book I'm writing, I can never find any as good as yours :)

Rebecca: About 50% of what's in my boards is from files that I'd already built up before I joined Pinterest, so it's years worth of Google Image Searching and looking for images that either fit a specific project or would help spark ideas. The other 50% come from Pinterest itself! Once you join up and start following people, you see more new pictures than you can shake a stick at :)
