Kathryn Ormsbee is on the blog today to share a playlist she made for her debut contemporary novel, Lucky Few. I’ve been listening to the playlist while reading the book.

Here’s Kathryn with Lucky Few Playlist.

Lucky Few Playlist

I can write without music, but I cannot outline or revise without tunes. They give me inspiration, encouragement, and a little pep in my step as I work toward impending deadlines. So naturally Lucky Few has its very own playlist! Some of the songs jive thematically with the book’s off-kilter, macabre tone. Others evoke strong memories of late spring and Austin, Texas. All of them were instrumental (see what I did there?) in helping me write and revise the book. Hope you enjoy the listen! I think it’s the perfect playlist for a weekend drive on the highway, windows down.

Thank you so much Kathryn for creating the playlist for us. I’ve been listening to the songs while reading Lucky Few. I even added them to my music from Spotify. Most of the songs are new discovery for me. It’s really nice to discover new songs and playlist to listen to.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Book Details:

Title: Lucky Few
Author: Kathryn Ormsbee
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: June 07, 2016
Pages: 384
Format: Hardcover

In the tradition of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl comes a hilarious, madcap, and quirky debut novel about a group of oddball teens struggling to find themselves when facing their own mortality.

The life of homeschooler Stevie Hart gets all shook up when she meets a strange boy, Max, who survived a freak near-fatal accident and is now obsessed with death. He enlists her and her best friend, Sanger, to help him complete his absurd “23 Ways to Fake My Death Without Dying” checklist. What starts off as fun begins spiraling downward when Stevie’s diabetes sabotages her fumbling romance with Max, Sanger announces she’s moving out of state, and then death—real death—cuts close to home.
