The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blog.
Do you prefer to read in a quiet or noisy setting?
(Submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer))
I prefer to read in a quiet setting, but I am very good at tuning out noise when I need to. So I can honestly read in either setting.

I do prefer to read in the quiet but with a nearly turning 10 year old that is usually impossible, so like you I have learnt to block the noise out 😂
It’s a mom survival trait 😂
Quiet, definitely! I make the hubby wear headphones if he wants to watch TV while I’m reading 😂 White noise or instrumental music is fine, it’s talking or singing that tends to break my concentration.
Hubby must be a good one to agree to the headphones! I can totally read through tv noise. It’s my superpower 😊
He is 😁
I don’t like it to be too quiet so I generally read with some background music on.
I can go either way.
I wish I could tune out noise when I’m reading. I’m too nosey if someone’s talking nearby so invariably have to take headphones with me if I want to concentrate! 😂
I get caught up in others conversations sometimes but only if they are referencing something I know or if they are speaking in a different language oddly.
Either is fine for me too.
I think blocking out background noise is my superpower 😂
I definitely prefer a quiet setting. Because of my ADD, I am easily distracted, so if there is a lot going on, I will be checking out what is happening.
That definitely would be an issue!
I can read anywhere. I’m able to tune out any kind of noise – hubby will verify this, lol.
Me too. It’s a superpower 😂
Quiet for me as well! Too much noise distracts me.
It’s nice to enjoy a book in peace and quiet 😊
Strangely, it depends on the kind of thing I am reading, non-fiction is easier to read with sound in the background. Fiction I like to read in a quiet more serene environment.
I could see that.
I like some light ambient noise in the background when I read. I will put on a Netflix fire or a YouTube video of coffee shop noise while reading sometimes just for the sound.
I like that- coffee shop noise. That’s cool ❤️
I prefer the quiet. If it’s not quiet I get distracted to easy.
Quiet for me but mostly I don’t get that and have to tell my son to sssh 🤣🤣
I’m the same as you, Tessa. I can read anywhere, and I think I prefer just some light noise in the background. Music or TV.
I often have the tv on as background noise, especially if I’m home alone.
I prefer quiet, surrounded by lots of relaxing bubbles.
I haven’t done that in ages!
Just like you, I can read anywhere. 🙂
Tuning out is just so easy when I like a book.
I’m the opposite. I can’t read in quiet need background noise. Reading in the quiet makes me sleepy 🙈
I do have that problem sometimes too
I always prefer a quiet setting because I’m very distractible! 😂 I can read in noisy settings and sometimes I can read a lot but when I return to a quieter place to continue reading, I realise that everything I’ve read in the noisy place has flown out my head, lol.
That’s how I am with audio books!
I prefer quiet. I can read in the noisy room but I read slower in comparison.
I can tune anything out 😂
Like you, I can manage reading in either environment. I actually like noise and can compartmentalize easily (unless it’s somebody chewing food with their mouth open😏
My husband and daughter can’t handle that either 😂
