Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish
February 16: This week is all about music and books.
Well, since we’ve been given some latitude on this week’s topic, I will offer two separate lists:
First, Ten music selections I like to read to, inspired by
Emma’s Bookery take on the musical Top Ten Tuesday.
Mostly instrumentals, as songs with lyrics distract when I’m reading.

I might be in the minority, but I really prefer silence when I read. I've tried to listen to music but I just find it distracting. That said, I love the Gettysburg soundtrack--actually I really love the movie, and of course, the book it was based on.
