Hi little birds! Today I'm going to talk about books!... or rather about music...? What a difficult choice, right?
So... I had to make the crucial decision... we're going to talk about both!!
I don't know about you but me, when I read, I love to listen to a playlist that immerses me in the ambience. It helps me to concentrate on my reading by cutting me off from the outside world. As I would no longer be disturbed by the noise of the horns in the streets or the fly that always comes to sing at my ears as if I didn't hear it enough already. (especially since it's not the most pleasing song to the ears, we agree!). That way I combine two passions, books and music! And then it puts a rather nice little atmosphere, don't you think? On the other hand, I prefer songs without lyrics so that the words don't disturb my reading too much (which is obviously not at all the desired effect).
You may also be used (or not at all) to put music while reading. If not, why not give it a try? You'll tell me your thoughts! I await your reactions dear readers! I will also complete the playlists with readings ideas. You can find the books summaries by clicking on it!
So, to make you discover this experience (or for your own musical library), I have concocted you a small list of music and playlist of all types which can perfectly accompany your readings, whether it is fantasy, romance or an intriguing thriller. There is something for all tastes and all ears!
For the books and series that have been adapted to the cinema, you have the possibility of listening to the original soundtrack of course. What better way to accompany your reading!
For Harry Potter, for example, you have playlists suitable for reading with softer variations of the universe's music. Videos of immersive atmospheres are also offered with images of Hogwarts, common rooms of the four houses, ... that you can project on your walls or on your screens. You will really feel like you have joined Hogwarts, believe me! All you need is your little wizard's robe and you'll be ready to ride your 2023 nimbus (obviously, we will always have the best quality for the MPL community 😉).
