If you go to a fancy enough restaurant, you might find recommended food and beverage pairings. This is because the right pairing can elevate a meal. It can make eating the meal a truly memorable experience. I don't know anything about drinks, so maybe a specific drink could enhance a book, but I do know a lot about music. I'm thinking about how a specific song paired with a book, like a beverage with a meal, could place the story in the right atmosphere and enhance it, make the experience that much more memorable. I'm here to tell you my pairing for my book Raising Women. If you want a more enhanced, accurate experience reading Raising Women, listen to Artemas's "i like the way you kiss me." And watch the music video. At the end of September I blogged about my weird process for making mixes (not drinks - also, not the same as a playlist). In that blog post, I talked about what makes mixes and playlists different, and also the extensive process I go through to make them. Anyway, all that's to say is that I've also got a mix full of VIBES for RAISING WOMEN! Whether you've read any of the stories in Raising Women or not, it's a solid mix (although if you've read the book, you'll "get it"). Songs Include: 1. Caffeine - Jack Kays 2. It's Called: Freefall - Rainbow Kitten Surprise 3. i like the way you kiss me - Artemas 4. ...Ready For It? - Taylor Swift 5. dirty little secret - Artemas 6. Broadripple is Burning - Margot and the Nuclear So & So's 7. # Grownupz - Fein 8. Girls Like Girls - Hayley Kiyoko 9. Lunch - Billie Eilish 10. It Gets Better - fun. 11. If You're Gonna Lie - FLETCHER 12. Detroit - Badflower 13. Where Is My Mind? - Pixies 14. Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl - Broken Social Scene Go check it out. It's available both on Spotify *and* Youtube to listen to! SPOTIFY YOUTUBE And if you haven't read Raising Women yet, check it out here. If you were to pair your favorite book with a song, a song that enhanced the book, which song would you choose?
