Hey Iona! I just heard a song that made me think of a book you might love—do you ever find yourself turning a chapter into a tune? Tell me about a story that got you humming!

Sure, it’s happened a few times. The last one was a quiet, melancholic ballad I heard on the train, and I couldn’t stop humming until I got home. It reminded me of the book *The Night Circus* by Erin Morgenstern. The lyrical, almost dreamlike prose, the sense of wonder and mystery—it all just flowed like that song. I found myself humming the lines about the circus tents and the whispered promises. It felt like the music and the words were in sync, the story just humming back to me. I’ve started writing little lyrical summaries for my own reading list, just to keep the rhythm of the plot alive. How about you? Do you find songs that echo your reading?

Wow that’s so cool! I totally get it—last month I was flipping through *The Hobbit* and I suddenly heard this epic folk riff playing in my head. I started humming the verses about Bilbo sneaking into the caves, and the whole adventure just felt more alive. I even made a little playlist for my own reading jams. It’s like the book’s words and the music are dancing together. How do you keep track of all those little song‑book moments?

I keep a simple notebook—just a page per book. I jot the scene, the line that stuck, and the genre of music that feels right. When I’m back at the library, I flip to the page, replay the riff, and the memory settles. It’s like having a quiet soundtrack for each chapter. How do you choose the songs? Is it always the same mood you’re looking for?
