Welcome to Litsy!

Do you listen to music while reading? Or prefer silence? I like music with no lyrics to read to.

In my earlier post, I‘d mentioned how I was listening to the score from “Aliens” while reading Contagion. Also tweeted about it, and Erin Bowman responded that she also listened to the “Aliens” score while writing the book. #YA #scifi #ErinBowman #Contagion #Aliens #WritingMusic #ReadingMusic

I love when a story reaches that point where the writer has won my total trust. Then it‘s just waiting to see if they can stick the landing. This is one of those times.

I‘ve listened almost entirely to the score from “Tron: Legacy” while reading this novella, and it‘s been a perfect fit.

‪Since I‘m reading a western, you know I‘m gonna listen to my favorite western score ever.‬

Just starting to read Warcross by Marie Lu. She certainly hits the ground running. Digging it so far. Heard so many amazing things about this book. Can‘t wait! Decided the score to “The Bourne Supremacy” by John Powell might make some good reading music. #Warcross #GameOn #MarieLu #ReadingMusic #YA #youngadult

So far, the biggest challenge in reading Sorcerer to the Crown is a common issue with fantasy novels. There are SO MANY NAMES. Still, I‘m really digging Zen Cho‘s world building. She‘s done a nice job easing me into the rules of this world and the mechanics/politics of its magic. Looking forward to seeing where the story is going. Been listening to Beethoven‘s “Moonlight Sonata,” and it‘s been a nice fit. #fantasy #magic #readingmusic #ERMadLibs

I‘m back with another #backgroundmusic rec! Yesterday I was having a crap day and I was looking for one of my crap day standbys, The Kids Aren‘t Alright on my phone, but Vitamin String Quartet popped up instead. I know I‘m late to the party, but check them out! It‘s all orchestral instrumental covers of all your faves. Definitely a #readingmusic game changer. Totally turned my day around. 🎻🎧

One of the great things about reading a Star Wars novel is that it already comes with the perfect music to listen to as you read it.

‪Given the comparison on the back cover, the score to Inception seemed a perfect choice while reading Patchwork at the gym today. #Patchwork #KarstenKnight ‬#readingmusic #music #soundtrack #Inception #HansZimmer
