I blast late ’60s and early ’70s psychedelic music when I write. Sometimes an obscure lyric or riff will prompt me onto a “Magic Carpet Ride” and into a place unrelated to the actual content of the song — a place where imagination rules and from which I feel comfortable to create my fiction. This technique worked for me. Last week, the retired editor of Reader’s Digest posted that my SF/F novel was the best science fiction that he’s read in several years.

I like it quiet when I read although there is usually the constant chatter of my son in the background, sometimes with me but mostly to himself, lol.
Cynthianna says
With a gift card I might buy some sci-fi or paranormal romance titles I’ve had my eye on… And anything Doctor Who related. 😉

Music is fine to listen to while I read–as long as it doesn’t have any words in it! Otherwise, I start singing along with it and that makes reading difficult. 😉

I read on silence. I need to “hear” the characters talking.

Megan Ryan says
I prefer silence when reading a good book :3 I love to imagine the story as I read in complete silence-its like a movie playing in my head the more I read-OR like a mini series kinda thing. :3
Tina Bornheimer says
One book I know for sure I will get is The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. I have been dying to read that one!! I’d also like to read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I’m sure I’d pick up a few romance novels and maybe another autobiography.
Tina Bornheimer says
I prefer silence when I read so I don’t have any distractions and can really melt into the story and get deep into it! 🙂
Samantha Bryant says
I’d go to my wishlist on Amazon and stock up on all the things that I think are a little pricey for my normal dollars.

I’m a mom. If I can’t read with music, noise, etc. around me, then I wouldn’t get to read! I don’t prefer music, but I can read in any setting.
Cass Sudduth says
I would get at least one frim Christine Feehan and browse for some others.
Kara Sjoblom-Bay says
I have hundreds of books on my wishlist, so I’d have to do a lot of thinking to narrow it down.
Cass Sudduth says
Sometimes I like the quiet and others I like to gave musuc playing softly
Kara Sjoblom-Bay says
I definitely prefer silence when I read. The only exception is when I’m at the gym. I like to listen to music to drown out other sounds, even when I’m reading.
Donna says
The rest of Lisa Scottoline books.
Donna says

Stephanie says
Silence, definitely silence.
Irene M says
I don’t really know what books I would buy. Probably the most recent from some of my favorite authors. I don’t shop for books unless I have the cash to buy them. And no wish list either, for the same reason.
Jane Nelson says
I would buy books in the romance or suspense genre!
Irene M says
I can read anywhere, any time. If I’m home, the tv is usually on so I don’t miss important news, etc. If I’m outside, there’s not really silence, there’s plenty of nature around me. If I’m enjoying a book, nothing distracts me. If I’m not, I usually fall asleep.
Jane Nelson says
I usually have the tv on or music in the background when I read!

I have a few textbooks that I need for my dissertation… so that’s what I’d buy.
Sara Westhead says
It depends on what I’m reading, whether I can listen to music or not…
Annie Douglass Lima says
If I win the gift card, I will put it toward a Kindle Paperwhite to give some friends of mine who live in Papua New Guinea. They don’t always have electricity, and in the evenings when it’s dark and there’s not much to do, there’s competition among their five kids for the one Kindle they currently have.
Annie Douglass Lima says
I much prefer silence when I read (or write). Music is distracting.
Trisha Lyn Fawver says
I don’t listen to music when I read unless it’s instrumental but usually nothing. If I won, I think I’d buy one of the books that’s been on my wish-list the longest but I have yet to pull the trigger on due to price – Hollywood Costume or Jaws: Memories from Martha’s Vineyard (both hardcover and over $35 & not available in ebook!)

K.C. Sprayberry says
I have a huge wish list, so I’d just start at the top and work my way down. Most of the books I’d love to buy right now are those in the Star Wars universe, to catch up my collection. There are also a couple of YA books and some fantasy books that I’ve wanted to pick up for a while.
K.C. Sprayberry says
Silence while reading has never happened for me. Even now, I hear the sounds of animals calling out or children playing. That’s not noise, it’s the sound of normal lives. I’ve also had too much quiet while reading and found I can’t concentrate. So I’d really have to have some kind of background noise.
Holly Thomas says
I really don’t know what books I would buy.
