Playlist for a Fantasy Novel: Brittle

Every book I write now has a playlist. It either develops while I’m writing or I put part (or most) of it together while I’m rewriting.

My question, fellow readers: Does it every interest you when authors post a playlist? Do you listen to it while you’re reading their book? After you’re done reading it? What, in your mind, makes or breaks a good list?

Here’s one I made for BRITTLE (Blade & Bone, book 1)–Enjoy!
