For those of you stopping by from the Hop, I want to say welcome! This is my first time participating in the Blog Hop since I'm relative new at blogging and I couldn't be more excited.
Feel free to have a look around my site. I'm 23 year old aspiring novelist and on this site, it's all about YA, writing, and movies! I'm really big into following people and (since I have a lot of free time currently) I'm always reading posts and commenting! I can't wait to meet you all!
This week's question is:
Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?
I don't generally listen to music when I read. I find it too distracting. I do like to have the t.v. on very low for some background noise, especially when I'm home by myself.
However, when I'm writing, music is a must. I tend to draw on it for inspiration for tough scenes and will sometimes listen to the "right" song over and over (to the dismay of my poor husband).
I adore your background!!! It is so cool!!! Going to look around now!
ReplyDeleteHi. Found your blog through the hop. I'm now following.

Welcome to the hop! I'm a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteI totally get you-writing with music in the background really gets me going, too. Even when it's just papers I have to do for school. Music puts me in a better mood and helps me think better, I guess :)
Have a great weekend!

Just Christian music for me---but only at the gym. When I'm home reading I like it quiet.
ReplyDeleteHopping back--and following back! I really like your design; it's cute and very easy to read. I'm looking forward to both your reviews and your writing progress (esp. since I'm an aspiring YA novelist myself!). Good luck!

Hi, just blog hopping through. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI listen to music mostly when I write, not when I’m reading. I listen to Celtic and Pirates of the Caribbean.

I listen to the same song when I write too. The thing is that I have to drown out the sounds of life going on around me. When I'm writing, I generally need to keep my emotions in a specific place so I listen to a song that keeps me there.
ReplyDeleteI like your site. The first time I looked I thought it looked like a cabin. As I look closer I see it for it's name. Nice! I'm a follower now. Good luck with writing. Hope you'll follow me http://wwwburiedinbooks.blogspot.com

Thanks for stopping by on the Hop! I find it interesting that a lot of readers can't listen to music while they read, but at the same time like to have music on while writing.
ReplyDeleteCool site design!
Hi, welcome to the hop! I'm your newest follower. I also find it difficult to concentrate on reading with music playing (but wish that I could focus as well as some people can!)

ReplyDeleteDistracting is the word of the hop this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the rare music listeners / readers.
Happy Friday. Come see how I listen to music when I read.
Hi! I'm hopping over! Hope you're having a great start to the weekend and you're getting some writing done! :)

I listen to music sometimes when I'm reading, but only when I'm home alone. It's too quiet when my hubby isn't around. When I'm writing? Music is a must, and a cup of hot tea.
ReplyDeleteHello, welcome to the hop.I like the look of your blog. Have a good weekend.

hello! thanks for stopping by my blog. just read your review of going bovine...which i read about half of and then got sidetracked by the release of richelle mead's SPIRIT BOUND and haven't gotten around to finishing yet...but you may have inspired me to do so! i didn't love cam in the first 50 or so pages...he reminds me too much of my high school boyfriend, heheh - but it sounds like he has a real transformation by the time it's all said & done. anyway great review...i'm a new follower, looking forward to reading more of your reviews!
ReplyDeleteI love your background. Found you on follow friday. I am your newest follower. kittycrochettwo.blogspot.com
