🎶 I hope you don’t mind
that I put down in words…

…how wonderful life is while you’re reading a great book. Music is a universal language that we think is perfectly paired with a good book. You’ll find many a musician in the fiction section, with their own memoirs or even a collection of poetry. Inspired by some of Books & Books favorite musicians, we picked some lyrical reads to keep you company.

Whether you prefer to listen to the moving stylings of Leonard Cohen or the groovy tunes of The Ronnettes and Ronnie Spector, chances are you’ll find just the book you’ve been searching for. Plus, some exciting (and melodic!) forthcoming releases to keep your eye on!
