Playlist For Reading

Julissa Athanassiou, Bear Hub Staff

There are numerous benefits to reading. Getting immersed in a good book can help your focus and reduce stress, and there are many lessons to be learned through various themes and characters that authors may utilize in their works. With diverse conflicts and scenes ranging from fierce battles to love, books can reduce stress, provide entertainment, and explore raw emotions that many can relate to. In addition to providing knowledge and exposing us to new ideas and philosophies, it can motivate people to make positive changes in their lives and is essential for developing problem solving and logic based skills.

When I’m not reading, I love to experiment with new genres of music. Music can help immerse readers into a good story and creates a relaxing environment, which is why I created a playlist for anyone to listen to while reading or even studying. Music can have positive effect on a person’s mood and can help many focus, while enhancing scenes and emotions in books. My go-to genres for reading are usually classical and Ambient music, so that is what comprises most of this playlist. I tried to choose songs that had little to no lyrics, as it may be distracting to many, and I chose more calm atmospheric songs and audios.
