Monica listened to music while writing the novel, Unwritten. You can listen to the official Apple Playlist. For unknown reasons, the songs “I Grieve,” by Peter Gabriel, and “Moonlight Serenade,” by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, are missing from this Apple playlist. The entire list is repeated beneath with the scenes each song belongs with, including where the missing songs fit in.
Below is her playlist in correct scene order (because she was asked what song with what scene). Import it the easy way into iTunes by using the playlist file – CLICK HERE for the playlist file. Some files from the player above are missing, as Apple does not have the rights to a specific version.
