Natasa Gavrilovic (emblu) | 31 comments Yes! Can't read without it. Have a different song for every book I read. So when I listen to that particular song, it always reminds me of that one book. For example "Shameless" by Camila Cabello. Saw many edits on tiktok with this song about Shatter me and Aaron and everytime i listen to it i remember him haha
Btw love your playlist! I have one similar to yours, even same songs hahaha

Octopus Queen  (octopusqueen) | 63 comments Yes, Mainly Taylor Swift, Conan Grey and a bunch of others. But I can listen to New music or songs I haven't heard before while reading because I will stop reading and just listen or it will distract me ( this might just be me idk)

message 32: by HWaltz (new)

HWaltz I made my own playlist (still adding to it), it's mostly slow songs that stay at the same tempo. Always have it on super quiet in the background else I end up singing to the songs in my head and getting distracted from the book!

This is EXACTLY how I am too. I usually have a playlist for a book, or a playlist for a specific genre. But it's so nice hearing a song and thinking of the book/characters that is now associated with it.

Lisa | 110 comments really all depends on the scene and the type of book cause playing I wanna be yours by arctic monkeys when the two main characters are arguing and gonna break up, thats not good😭
