Here is a portion of the playlist I used when writing QOTD and actually some of the third book (title to be determined) as well. I'm not sure that these match up to any particular scenes, but they evoked the mood I needed to be able to write certain parts. A huge thank you to my friend Magan Vernon for pointing me toward the songs on the second half of the list and to my sister for telling me about "If I Die Young."
Um, *clears throat* I may have also spent a great deal of time listening to my Ke$ha Pandora station, but that is neither here nor there. ;)Thank you Stacey! Being the most un-savvy of music ever, I have not heard most of these songs, but now that I've listened to them I find that I've been missing out! Now I can't listen to these without thinking of Will and Alona ;p
This is another song which I have known for years but only just recently connected with Will and Alona - I thought I'd add this and let you judge. It's super sweet and from the very first line Alona's definitely just the girl!
Are you ready for some more QoTD teasers?
Will: Yes, Alona was, in theory, already dead, but you don't spend eighteen years as a ghost-talker without realizing there are all kinds of dead, and some kinds are preferable to others.

What an awesome playlist, those all great songs! Only One by Yellowcard is seriously one of my favorite songs. But I love all the songs on the playlist, they are awesome. Stacey had good taste :)
I also didnt know any of those songs, shame on me! :P
I haven't heard of any of these songs either. I guess "Haunted" would definitely fit the playlist for this book!
Ack, and the stupid soundsystem on my computer isn't working, so I can't listen to the songs ...

The Click Five! Like it! Although I haven't read the books, but I think Alona should be just the girl! : )
Great songs!!! Especially Breathe Me by Sia. Thanks for the giveaway.
Those are great songs! I didn't know many of the songs sadly but I do adore Haunted by Taylor Swift!
