If you listen to this playlist it completely fits with the mindset of the character who created it. Many of the lyrics include an idea of not following others blindly and being understanding to those who are different. Very thought out choices for the author to include that can relate to the plot.

WELCOME!

Welcome to Book References Galore!

As an avid reader (seriously, I've read over 30 books in the last 2 months) I'm always intrigued when a novel refers to an area of pop culture, or includes passages from other books, etc. So, after reading a few books just this summer that had references galore I decided to create a blog for anyone else who might be interested in learning further about these references.

So enjoy all the info!

If you have a reading suggestion for me or would like me to check out a book reference I'm always open to new information, so shoot me a message. Same goes for constructive criticism.

Thanks a ton!
