YA and music: Call for submissions!

Back from the brink of No-Internet-Landia, I finally have the chance to bring my desperate shout-out for YA playlists to a place beyond Twitter: to make a series of long, boring tweets short, I'm looking for submissions of playlists or even single songs that make you think of particular YA novels or authors.

Basically, I love YA, and I love music, but I'm terrible at making playlists. So please, help me out.

If you feel like making a few (or have some already made!), please drop me a line at mdesmondobrien@gmail.com, and I'll repost them with your permission ASAP. Or, if you have particularly good YA playlist links to share, whether author- or reader-created, I'm happy to re-post those, as well.

Or guest posts. Or anything related to both music and YA, really.

For example, see this awesome playlist author Steve Brezenoff made for his book, Brooklyn, Burning, which you can find my review for here.

If you are so inclined, some books I would particularly love to see playlists for:

Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King (Goodreads/my review)
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart (Goodreads/review forthcoming)
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor (Goodreads/my review)
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (Goodreads/my review)
Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves (Goodreads/my review)
And Then Things Fall Apart by Arlaina Tibensky (Goodreads/review forthcoming)

I hope I've gotten your creative (musical) juices flowing. Submit away!
