The Tommyknockers | Stephen King

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

Contagion | Erin Bowman

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

All Systems Red | Martha Wells

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.

callielafleur I use this album as background music when I work pretty often. It's great. 6y

CaroPi I am hoping for the last part to come out so I will read the rest in a row 6y

Warcross | Marie Lu

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

Sorcerer to the Crown: A Sorcerer Royal Novel | Zen Cho

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

Ruri_kaichou I'm interested in hearing you're thoughts once you get further into it or finish it. I'm 60% through and I am not digging the writing but I like the story in general. 7y

BillBlume @Ruri_kaichou I‘m just about 15% into it. It took a bit to adjust to the writing style (not a book suited to be read while reading other books, I think). Had to lookup quite a few words to figure out what they mean. All the names get me very lost, though. 7y

Background Music | J. R. Rogue

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. 🎻🎧

rwmg I was mildly surprised to find that books can have soundtracks. Spotify has soundtracks for The Magic Stringa of Frankie Presto and

The Year of the Flood

MatchlessMarie @rwmg That‘s neat! I like listening to scores if I‘m reading a book turned movie/tv show or vice versa. I did that with the Dexter Series and now with the Mr. Monk series. 7y

rwmg Magic Strings is the life of a fictional rock star so the sound track is his songs and songs of real musicians who influenced him, while Year of the Flood's sound track is the song book of God's Gardeners, a cult in the book. 7y

MatchlessMarie @rwmg I‘ll have to check it out. Come to think of it, I think I did make a playlist from the mix tape mentioned in POBAW.

Thrawn | Timothy Zahn

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.

Patchwork | Karsten Knight

‪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
