Writing Playlists

I always write with music, unless I’m in a situation where I can’t (editing at work, phone battery died after ten hours of writing and no charger nearby, so on). I thought it’d be interesting to start collating what albums I’ve been listening to while writing each book, so this page will serve as a collection ground for albums. Suggestions for new music to listen are welcome! 

Albums in each playlist, in no particular order.
