I recommend that you listen to loofi music. It merely has sounds and no lyrics. But it will undoubtedly make you feel relieved and calm. Therefore, you should give it a shot right now.

I like listening to slow and mellow country or pop songs while reading.

I like listening to albums that go along with the theme of what I'm reading. Like soft and somber for dystopian. Love songs for YA. Or something uppity for books that are funny. I also love listening to soundtracks whenever I'm writing.
How about you?(:

Lil baby. Raps at the lowest volume are my reading tablet. Although I want to learn how to take coffees, but Raps are the best.

It depends on what I'm reading, for example... if I'm reading a novel, I'd rather not listen to any music. I like to read in silence.

I listen to calm songs, especially blues in a quiet and conducive environment. I find it interesting in a way that, it makes me focus on the book the more without feeling sleepy and at the same time.

I like total silence when reading. I can't really concentrate with music on.

I honestly can’t deal with listening to music while reading. However, if I attempted to I would more likely choose a playlist with no lyrics, just pure sounds. Lofi music is the best example.

I like to find a single song that matches the mood of the book I am reading and then keep it on a repeated loop so I don't lose focus on the book while also getting my emotions highlighted by the song being played

The type of music I enjoy listening while reading is Instrumental music. I play it at a moderately little volume as it is relaxing and stress free. It helps me focus more on my reading and makes my mood better because of its peaceful tone.
