I’ve been greatly enjoying crafting an Emma-inspired playlist or two myself, and so I get so excited to listen to and add songs you mention. Thank you for sharing these gems!

I’ve also realized that many of the songs I’ve collected myself have a great bend towards June 1884 (and Pierce oftentimes haha) as well. I think my mind might still be residing at Stonecrop for a while yet.

You can feel all of them in the songs. Thank you Beth. I love this so much! Reading is like seeing the intwining tapestry and now hearing is being able to feel it under my fingertips. You truly have created something magical.

Thanks for the songs. Do you have your own Emma playlist on Spotify? I’d love to see what other songs you have for Emma and friends

I’m in withdrawal after finishing the eighth novel! Your ability to craft the four main characters is incredible. I feel like they are real people. Your witty dialogue has also made my reading experience enjoyable. I’ve recommended your books to all of my friends.

Thanks for the songs, Beth! I especially like the second. "People shouldn't disappear."

My heart breaks for the little boy in Pierce. It's the saddest part of the books. It seems that he feels small and vulnerable, unloved, unlovable?...and angry, because a father should never, never abuse his vulnerable family. And the little boy he suddenly is doesn't know how to wield the tall man's body he finds himself in.

I feel like the last few lines of "Foxy's Folk Faced" could be from the characters/you to us, their/your fans and all the "lies" and "headlines" we come up with about what is happening and will happen with the characters. 😂

And here I am going back to pull a Green volume off the shelf to reread June 18, 1884.

Also, your song selection does wonders for my personal feed

I’m late to the party, but have now read all 8 twice in 2 weeks. I am sooo invested! I don’t know how you do it. Please keep them coming ( as quickly as possible)

I went a bit crazy with excitement when I saw you on the cover of The Bookseller. My books are at the LBF too this year! I’m imagining my FMC, Edith, waving at Emma there.

Do we have any ideas on when Vol. 9 will be coming out? Like not an exact date but just a time frame

Thank you for this installment of songs! I love listening to what inspires the characters in your own mind! Lovely.

I can’t wait for the t.v./movie series one day! All book details MUST be included, along with your song selections. ♥️
