The weekly Book Blogger Hop is brought to you by Crazy For Books. Just click on the link to get the rules and to participate. It's a lot of fun and a great way to meet new book bloggers!
This week's question is: Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?
Surprisingly, no, considering the topic of this blog. But then, I like to give my full attention to music when I listen to it, and the same with books. Of course, with books, it's hard not to give my full attention - the rest of the world kind of disappears when I'm reading. (Drove my parents crazy, when I was a kid.)
I come up with song/book connections when I'm listening to music - I'll be listening and thinking about the song and have a book pop into my head. (Then rush to write the combination down for a future post.)

I just did a music post today. Music for writing:
Cake
Ingrid Michaelson
Coldplay
John Mayer
Creed
I usually throw in some old Nirvana or Pearl Jam
I actually realized that it changes drastically from one WIP to another. This would take me a whole post to answer ;)
Thanks for the follow, Marcie!
Jolene - loved your post about music and good writing. So true!
I'm already a follower, I just wanted to drop in and say hi:)
I am surprised to find you don't listen to music whilst reading, but it does make sense - clear palate for inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Leah - I tend to get so wrapped up in what I'm reading that I don't hear anything. Listening to music is a waste, since I'm not aware of it anyway. :)
Already am a follower. Curious to see your answer to the question. I am just like you. Music pulls me out of everything!!
Thanks for stopping by on the Hop! I love your blog and will be following from now on :)

Hi! I'm a new follower--just stopping by from the hop! As music goes--I used to have music playing all the time, but now I prefer quiet.

Just hopping in to say Hi. I find it amazing that you can think of suitable music to match books. I can barely remember song titles even those with music I like. :-)
