My answer: I have two younger brothers who like to make a lot of noise, so having noise while I'm reading doesn't bother me at all - but having music on usually does. I love music, and I'll tend to get distracted and pay more attention to the lyrics (or the actual music, if it's instrumental) than what I'm reading.
And now, some awesome news!
One of my favorite series is the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (if you haven't read them, go do that now. Seriously. Don't finish reading this post, go read City of Bones). And she announced the night before last in a web chat that there are going to be more TMI books!
City of Fallen Angels, a Simon-centric fourth book, was already in the works, scheduled for release on April 5, 2011. But now there are going to be two more after that. City of Lost Souls will be released in May of 2012 and City of Heavenly Fire in September of 2013. The Infernal Devices trilogy, a prequel series to TMI, is also going to be released during that timeframe, beginning with The Clockwork Angel at the end of this month.
I am so excited. *fangirl joy*
Just hoppin' in from the blog hop. It's funny you should say that about Clare, because I got an email yesterday about that 5th book and was a little confused as to what it was. Now reading your post it all makes sense. I absolutely ADORE TMI and cannot wait for Clockwork Angel to come out at the end of this month. I'm glad we didn't have to wait til City of Fallen Angels came out for more Clare. I'm also excited because CA is going to be Steampunk and it seems that I can't get enough of that! I love your blog set up and it looks like we have a lot of books in common, so I will be following to see what you post next!

Hi, Becky! Just hopping thru! I guess when you're used to noise music is not much distraction. lol!
