#PutYourRecordsOn makes me think of vinyl records & my old record player (it was portable with a ‘lovely‘ gold case). I was a few years too young for a David Cassidy appreciation but I had older sisters & was sorry he passed away at 67 in 2017. This book has been in in my #TBR stack for years. It‘s about two 13-year-old Welsh girls with a David Cassidy obsession in 1974 all grown up in 1998 with an opportunity to finally meet him.🎸💖

The main character loves records and has a show on the local community radio station.

#AyUpAugust #Day16 #PutYourRecordsOn Ever since the start of detective fiction, most great literary sleuths have loved music. From Sherlock Holmes & his violin to Inspector Morse(classical), DI Banks(blues), Bosch(Jazz) to Phryne Fisher(anything she can dance to!) There‘s so many I haven‘t listed, I‘m not sure of the connection.Maybe it‘s a way to take their minds off the misery they investigate every day. What‘s your theory? #detectivehastheblues

Scott Pilgrim. One of my all time favs. 🤩

Ok, it appears I don‘t have any books about music?!?! 😱 but I‘m currently reading this one with the boys and it‘s delightful!!! 🙄 #putyourrecordson #ayupaugust

#AyUpAugust Something about the soulful look and sound of Corinne Bailey Rae‘s song #PutYourRecordsOn reminds me of Jacqueline Woodson‘s novel Another Brooklyn. The lyrical story of 4 friends growing up in 1970s Brooklyn.

Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?🎶

#putyourrecordson #ayupaugust From the TBR list, when I hear music, this is the book I think of!

I LOVE Spotify, so I‘m really loving this little trend of publishers making playlists to accompany books to create an extra bit of buzz.....
These are four I‘ve come across and enjoyed, and I‘ve attached a great article from ‘Bustle‘ that pairs Spotify playlists with books! 🎶💕🎵💕
