Alita over at Alita Reads is having a quick mini-challenge. Choose a book that you are currently reading or have recently finished and then select a song that goes with, then answer a few questions, but hurry this mini-challenge is only up for a short time!
I just finished reading What I Saw, and How I Lied by Judy Blundell, and here is the song I have chosen for the soundtrack:
The song is “In the Mood” and in this clip is performed by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra.
As for why I chose the song, What I Saw, and How I Lied is a YA historical fiction set just after World War II. The main character’s stepfather has just returned home to New York after fighting in the war. “In the Mood” fits the time period of the story, and I believe was even mentioned once in the book.
Fun fact: according to my grandmother she and a friend of hers listened to this record so many times that they actually wore it out!

Great pick! What a fun song

Love this contest idea! Music and books go together so well its a natural fit. Can’t say that I’ve come up with a soundtrack for books I’ve read but I definitely come up with them for the books I’ve wrote!

Somewhere on a very early draft of The Subrosa Semesters nee The Balderdash Semesters, is a handwritten note I wrote of a soundtrack. Of course, that list of songs would probably be pretty dated now!
