It's time for the weekly book blogger hops again! A great opportunity to meet new bloggers and say hi to old favorites.
Here's the question of the week: Do you listen to music as you read?
I'm Alison. My blog is now officially two months old! Certainly a short time compared to many bloggers, but I feel like I've come a long way in two months.
I am a huge music fan - particularly Indie rock, folk, and bluegrass. I often listen to music while I'm reading but I try to stick to low-key albums that don't interfere with my concentration. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine, The National (High Velvet), Oh My God Charlie Darwin, Jakob Dylan (Women & Country), Death Cab For Cutie, and Sarah Jarosz.

Hopping by! I don't listen to music while reading. I only get to read about 15-30 minutes at a time, so there isn't a lot of time to get the music going! Hope to see you blogging for many months!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll hop by!
I've hopped over, too! I can't stand listening to music while I read. I need total silence for some reason!
ReplyDeleteHi, 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.

Hi Alison! Just visiting your blog for the first time. I am also new to blogging about YA. You can find me at http://evergreenjuniorhighlibrary.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to music while reading, but I do watch television while reading (because I also have a TV addiction).
Looking forward to reading more!
Yay! Another music listener. I'll check out your recommendations the next time I'm reading. Happy Friday. Come see how I listen to music when I read.
ReplyDeleteFound you via the Blogger Hop so I hopped over to say HI :)

Hi Alison, just hopping by! Wish I had your powers of concentration but usually listening to music distracts me when I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteIron and Wine is definately mellow and good for reading. I like The National's Boxer the best. And DCFC is a good band but I don't think I could read to them. Just hopping by! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHi! I am a new follower and just blog hopping!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday and have a great blog hopping day!!

Stopping by from parajunkee's Follow Friday! I'm a new follower and am trying to rebuild my own followers list after having to redo my entire blog over from scratch (still a work in progress) due to a malicious hacker attack. I'd appreciate any and all new followers and will follow back!

Congrats on your 2 month old blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteI love Death Cab For Cutie, they're one of my favourite bands! I can't really listen to music while I'm reading though, I find it distracting.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI found you through the Book Blogger Hop. I've started following your blog and I think that it's great.
I'm an aspiring writer. I write horror, fantasy, scifi,... just anything that interests me. Anyway, check out my blog
You could follow me too if you like it.
Warmest regards,

I listen to and love most of the music you mentioned, Death Cab, Iron & Wine in particular. I can't really listen to them while I'm reading though. I'd tend to want to sing along, and I don't think that works while reading. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you can check out my hop.
