Books to Read Based on Your Top Artists on Spotify

We love music nearly as much as we love books, and that’s saying something. Everyone on Team Epic Reads has such a wide-ranging, eclectic taste in music, and we love trading songs like we trade books—and to be fair, it costs a lot less in shipping.

What about you, book nerds? Do you have curated playlists for all your reading ~moods~? Do you build a soundtrack as you’re fancasting your ideal adaptations? What about all those books that actually include music in them? Those always find a spot near the top of our TBRs. We put together a list pairing some of our favorite artists with books that perfectly match their mood—read on below! And then, check out this official Epic Reads playlist!

📚 If you’re listening to these iconic rappers who totally changed the game, you’ll love these iconic, game-changing YA books inspired by the masters themselves.

 

🎶 The 1975, Børns, & Chvrches

📚 What else could we pair these moody, fast-paced musicians with but these moody, fast-paced fantasies? We’d like to respectfully request a fantasy reading soundtrack from all of these artists.
