Nightbloom Court Reading Guides

The soundtrack

Press play at chapter 1 with shuffle off. Each song covers a stretch of chapters. When you reach the next stretch in the table, skip ahead. If a song ends first, let it repeat.

Reading ambience

Film and piano instrumentals in the book's mood, with no lyrics to pull you off the page. Shuffle on or off. Good for a whole evening.

On a reread

Plenty of readers play the soundtrack straight through after finishing, or during a reread, to relive the book. Both ways work.
