This week’s question:
What, if any, kind of music do you listen to when you’re reading? (Given a choice, of course!)

My answer:
This is a good question, and maybe you can even help, because I find my situation to be strange. I can’t read if there is music on.  I find it too distracting.  Whenever the hubby is home, especially when we are sitting in the backyard by the pool, it’s a given, there is music.  However, if I am in my “reading room” or reading in bed, I have to have the TV on but with the volume low.  Strange, don’t you think?  When there is music, I have trouble staying focused even if it’s one of those books that I call a “transport” book, the kind of book that I am so engrossed that I don’t know what is going on around me.  Music is the one thing that can interrupt that state of mind, whereas the TV doesn’t.  I really don’t know why that is….any thoughts????

There’s A Party and You Are Invited……..
