it’s p good, but my sister was a theatre major so i kind of have to like plays. my 11/10 rec is the glass menagerie by tennessee williams, though. it’s really sad but it’s just beautiful and very easy to read. and if you really want to read shakespeare, much ado about nothing. it’s funny, romantic, tragic, scheming, really the best of everything. i totally feel you about the music tho, i hated making playlists on 8tracks cause it was like always the same sOng omg. i put my artist recs under the readmore, and i def bolded my faves. honestly, i have a playlist on spotify that i made for my friend and i keep updating it - i try to keep it 1 per artist (psa if a song is on there more than once it means i really want people to hear it). honestly the spotify playlists are amazing, i love the ‘evening chill’ one and if you want kind of electronic dubstep type, i suggest any mtv soundtracks - of which they have playlists on their verified page.
