I make a new playlist at least once a month, and it tends to have songs in it that fit for that month. If I have a concert coming up, I'll put that on it. If I stumble upon a song in a movie, show, book, or anything else, that goes on it too. It's cool to go back through them, and to relive some of those memories.
Oh I never been on another continent, but I want to go so badly! Scotland and Ireland are on the top of my list. I'm terrified of going somewhere that doesn't speak English, but after reading this, maybe I'll give it a try sometime. I really want to go to those places that have a very big history. Sounds like you had an amazing experience! I can't even imagine being in a place that old. It is interesting just to think of how many people must have been there over all these years.
My goal is to find the time to knit blankets for gifts for friends and family, but I haven't reached that level yet. Last year I knitted small button-close pouches for all my friends for Christmas. I put a gift card in each one. They loved them, and I loved making them for them.
I used to think I had to read the series in order, starting with book one. However, probably within the last year I have started to jump into a series, and if I enjoy it, I'll read the rest. Thankfully, I haven't had any problems with understanding the stories.
I personally live it when authors provide a song list for books. I'm a big music fan, so combining it with books, which I also love, is awesome! I hour one day there will actually book soundtrack albums released! It could happen ;) Book trailers have become big, maybe one day official soundtracks will too! Until then, I'll just stick with the playlists, and listen to them over and over again, as scenes from the book play out in my mind. Great post!
