Book Tunes: A Good Winter

Pop these songs on in the background while you read Olga’s story with a glass of wine in hand. Make sure it’s on a nice low volume because when the instruments swell it can be a little distracting. There’s a good mix of genres (bluesy, swing, chill rock!?) but they blend well. I think it’s a nice contrast to the darker themes of the book and the songs take on a creepier edge and tone. Think ‘love songs’ but make it *stalker*.
