Short Story 2 – 1960s Reading Playlist

Overview Host Deirdre Pippins is a huge fan of the 1960s. From the TV shows (shoutout to Bewitched and Hazel!) to the music to historical fiction books based on the 1960s, she simply can’t get enough of this transformative decade! That is why Deirdre decided to create a 1960s reading playlist, featuring some of the best American music from her favorite decade (linked below!). This playlist contains 30 songs and is an hour and a half long, making it the perfect accompaniment to any activity! Listen to songs from Dionne Warwick, The Supremes, Simon & Garfunkel and countless others as you enjoy a relaxing afternoon of reading. You can find Deirdre’s playlist on Spotify titled “Bookaholic 1960s Historical Fiction Playlist.” And if you’re not sure what books to read while listening, be sure to check out her 2021 Reading List (link below!) for 22 book recommendations that would pair perfectly with these songs! Take a listen! We hope you’ll enjoy it. Quotes • “I love the decade of the 1960s. It was from that inspiration that I decided to create this playlist.” (0:26-0:35) • “Now the 1960s when you look back over it, the first part of the decade was still your evolutionary, motown sound, the love songs, the break up songs, that type of thing. Then, when you got to the second half of the 1960s, the songs became more revolutionary, more fight the power, the more freedom type of anthem songs. So, I have a little bit of both on this playlist.” (1:19-1:55) Links https://open.spotify.com/playlist/75RsN0w4FMKeLkUoaRa69m?si=4e7ecbdd8f2940cd&nd=1 https://www.book-a-holic.com/post/2021-reading-challenge Connect with Me https://www.book-a-holic.com/ readingjunkie@book-a-holic.com https://www.instagram.com/truebookaholic/ https://www.facebook.com/bookaholicpodcast https://twitter.com/truebookaholic1
