Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday.

Book Blogger Hop



I came across the Hop and Follow Friday while I was blog hopping - how appropriate! - and decided to join in on the fun.

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly thing going on over at Crazy-for-Books. Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee. If you're a new blogger, like I am, or have been blogging for a while, stop by the sites and get involved!


--------------------------------------------


Weekly question: Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?

Oddly enough, I cannot listen to music while I read, unlike many others that I know. When I read I prefer to be in a quiet setting. Most any sound will disturb me while I'm reading. Unless, however, I become so engrossed in the novel that everything around me becomes invisible.

I prefer to be a more secluded reader - just me and my book.

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

    Best,

  4. Welcome to the Hop!

    I'm popping in to say that I love silence when I read. Beautiful silence. Although lately I've been on a French music kick....

    I've just become a new follower. I'd love to have you stop by my blog, too.

  7. Hi, stopping by through the hop and now following! I'm the same way about music, I generally need it to be quiet around me unless I'm absolutely engrossed in what I'm reading.

  9. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I enjoyed your review on Thirteen Reasons Why. I reviewed it a few weeks ago and thought pretty much the same of it. Have you by chance read Before I Fall? I just read it a few days ago it was amazing!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

  14. Hopping by to return the visit and follow! I'm not a music listener, either, not while reading. Except like you said, when I'm so engrossed that even chainsaws and elctric drills couldn't distract me. :-)

  18. I am now a follower. I stopped by on the Friday Follow. I am very paranoid that I will use improper grammar. I love making my own up! Since you are newish, how will you promote grammar? Stop by when you can:Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust

  19. Thanks for the hop! I love the theme of your blog, and while I cannot confess to always using correct grammar, I am an advocate of it. Good luck in your blogging - I'll definitely be reading!

  21. Hi!!! I'm a new follower--just stopping by from the hop!!!--I see that you're into grammer--okay, this kind of about typing, but still, you might know--so I have a question for you--I just found out that you don't have to put two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence anymore--I guess it had to do with the way typewriters were set up. But now I'm curious, if you still need to put two spaces after a colon, or if that was just a typing thing, too? I'd definitely be curious if you knew!!! :) Hope you have a great weekend!!!

    I can't listen to music, either. Too distracting :)
