Best Spotify Playlists for Reading: 8 Chill Mixes For Your Reading Pleasure

Dana Lee

Staff Writer

Dana lives in East Haven, CT. She works for that Ivy League institution down the street and tries to read as many books as possible in her free time. Audiobooks and print books get equal love. Also, she unapologetically judges books by their covers and makes way too many playlists (c'mon, books need a soundtrack too!). Follow her on Twitter @lucyhenley115 .

Personally, I love to listen to music while I’m reading. Whenever I can, I try to create a serene reading environment with all the best #bookstagram elements you know and love: fairy lights, a warm beverage, cozy socks, a bookish candle, and some super chill tunes to tie it all together. We can have it all, readers! Sometimes though, I spend so much time finding or curating the perfect mix on Spotify or 8tracks I run out of reading timeβ€”but you don’t have to! I’m here for you guys and I’ve got your list of the best Spotify playlists for reading right here.

*Bonus cantos! I threw in a few of my favorite 8tracks mixes at the end.
