So, I didn’t put a book rec up yesterday…
OOPS.
The worst is, I knew I was skipping it–like, I didn’t forget to put up a post…I just HAVEN’T READ A BOOK IN WEEKS. There’s just been so, so, so much going on, reading hasn’t happened at all.
But I have been clocking in a lot of driving hours, and a lot of driving means a lot of listening to music (and subsequent daydreaming story ideas).
Here’s what’s been blasting from my speakers:
This is my EPIC CHASE/FIGHT SCENE MUSIC, and I owe Sarah J. Maas soooo much for introducing me to the Transformers score. I mean, the epicness in this next song just can’t be contained!
Talk about finale battle music…Then we have the X-Men First Class original score. Magneto’s theme is just full of so much badassery, while the X-Men Training tune is 100% TRAINING MONTAGE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!
Sarah also introduced me to the movie Gladiator (which I had somehow never seen…O_O), and that got me hooked on the wonderfully epic soundtrack.
Ahh, I love it! Although, it IS a bit similar to Hans Zimmer’s other well-known EPIC MUSIC from Pirates of the Caribbean…
Similar or not, thought, I love the Pirates scores. I listened to practically nothing else when I wrote A Darkness Strange and Lovely.
But what about you? What musical scores or tunes are YOU listening to right now?

Oooh, Lord of the Rings is amazing too. My problem is that it’s too distinctly tied to that story now–if I listen to it, I can’t imagine my own stuff. Does that make sense? Sarah and I totally talked about this (since she can listen to all those well-known epic soundtracks and I can’t).
