And here is the weekly bookish question in the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Billy at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer.
This Week's Question: Do you prefer to read in a quiet or noisy setting?
My Answer: I definitely prefer a quiet setting. Low level background noise or instrumental music is fine, but if there's too much going on I have trouble concentrating.

I prefer the quiet. If it's not quiet I get distracted to easy.
ReplyDeleteAll my monsters are human too... :-) Great line! I prefer quiet for reading also. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAlways a favorite author, my first line comes from Roseanna White’s latest:
ReplyDeleteYesterday’s Tides
May 11, 1942 Ocracoke Island, North Carolina
The first light of sunrise turned the water of Pamlico Sound to gold, the clouds to rose, and the dark to morning, promising Evie Farrow that today would be just like yesterday.
"All my monsters are human." Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a quiet space reader.
Some of the questions in Book Blogger Hop are so inane. What person would prefer to read in a noisy setting? Some people, and I'm one of them, can read anywhere but I always pay closer attention and get more reading down if it is a quiet setting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading "I'm Not Charlotte Lucas" by Kasey Stockton. It's super cute!
"I let myself into Vera's room, and my heart constricted."
I hope you have a good weekend! 😀❤️📚
I'm currently reading Heroes in the Crossfire novella collection and the novella "Dawn's Hidden Threat" by Elizabeth Goddard. The first line is: Angie Greenwood stared into the killer's eyes." Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny first line. I used to be able to read no matter how noisy it was but now I prefer quiet.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that intro. I might add this to my tbr.
ReplyDeleteBoth excerpts make me want to read more! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh man Bridges sounds really intriguing now. Have a great weekend. - Katie
