I would suggest all songs by Little Mix. Because for me personally, their songs always give me happiness and power.

I will recommend any of Hillsong songs. It is like a therapeutic environment when their songs are played around me.

I would definitely play Try Everything by Shakira, but that would be afterwards cause I find it distracting to play music while also reading.

It might be unusual, and I know it's not a song, but I listened to brown noise while reading this book.

There is this song by Westlife called "Queen of my Heart". I can recommend this.

Interesting question. 'Itti si hasi, itti si khushi' from the movie 'Barfi' is what comes to my mind. It's a Hindi song that is all about living in the moment and enjoying the small things in life. The hero in this movie is mute and deaf, and the heroine is autistic. This song makes me happy. I haven't tried reading while listening to songs though. I find them distracting.

I think I would go with Dandelions by Ruth B. This is not because of any relationship with the book, but because it calms me down and I can easily listen to it as I read.

For a book like "Fireproof Happiness," which centers on confronting challenges and embracing hope, I recommend incorporating uplifting and motivational songs. Consider tunes such as "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, or "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey to enhance the positive and inspirational themes of the book.

I’d say a cool beat that’s on a low volume, something wavy or calming, because the book kind of soothes you, to get the whole effect.

Have you heard Grenade, by Bruno Mars. I think this is the perfect song to go with.

That sounds like a fantastic idea to enhance your reading experience! I'd suggest few songs that's uplifting yet contemplative.

You might start with "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles, as it's a classic tune that embodies a sense of optimism and new beginnings. For a more introspective mood, "River" by Leon Bridges could beautifully complement the book's deeper moments of reflection. And to mix in some instrumental, Ludovico Einaudi's "Nuvole Bianche" offers a serene, almost meditative backdrop that could be perfect for reading.
We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.

I have always wondered how people are able to read a book while listening to a song. I would never be able to concentrate! I have a lot of songs to recommend. I don't know what kind of songs you prefer. I may not be able to accurately suggest one.

I would be fine with just instrumentals to any soft motivational song. As music would be a bit distracting for me while reading.

While reading, I often listen to music and it usually just depends on my mood. But I always try to go for a playlist so I don’t have to stop reading to change the music. So for this book my recommendation is Spotify’s 100 Uplifting Songs playlist! But I suggest keeping the volume low or you might wind up dancing. :wink:
