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.

Other than that, I think I would just rack up on bargain-priced high-rated books to read on the bus.

If I were to win the gift card, I’m not sure what books I would buy for sure. Most likely I would either use it to continue a series I am reading or begin a new one. Although there are several books that aren’t part of a series on my wish list, so maybe I would work on buying those as I prefer to read a series straight through and could use more of these types of book while I am building my series collections for reading. I don’t know, I would have to have the money before I would really be able to decide how to spend it.
I would buy some back list books by Jill Shavis with the gift card.
I prefer silence but I can read while my hubby watches tv but it can distract me if the volume is loud.

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.
I would get at least one frim Christine Feehan and browse for some others.
I have hundreds of books on my wishlist, so I’d have to do a lot of thinking to narrow it down.

I would buy books in the romance or suspense genre!
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.

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.
I really don’t know what books I would buy.
I always read in silence.
Winning the gift card would be cool. I would purchase new books from my favorite authors. Thanks for the great Web site.
