"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Every Friday, join the Follow Friday, hosted by ParaJunkee and Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer (Crazy-For-Books), and follow/hop to some new blogs.
Jennifer asks this week: “Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?”
There was a time when I couldn't do without music when I was reading, or rather studying. I had to have music and that too, Rock Music, especially when I was solving Mathematics problems. Now it depends. I do read without music most of the times. And if I do listen to music, that has to be Rock Music--Hard, Acid, Heavy metals, anything goes! Or old Hindi film songs!

For the most part, I like it quiet when I read.
I love this topic! It's what my whole blog is about - music and books and how they connect. I actually don't listen to music when I read, but I tend to associate books with the music I'm listening to. Good music can really enhance the experience of a good book.
Just hopping by to say hello and that I am a new follower.

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 am a follower. I usually pop in on Sunday afternoons, but I thought I'd stop in during the Hop. I'd love to have you stop by my blog, too.

I can either read the book or listen to music !
Do come over to Book Reviews at BookRack
Music scores and classical music are my best friends when it comes to listening to music when I read. Otherwise, I get distracted. ;)
