During the pandemic, I fell back in love with reading. I used to read ALL the time but slowly stopped for several different reasons. Now, I find it hard to put down a book. I think about reading all the time. I am so happy I fell back in love with reading but now I also become obsessed with creating a "vibe" when I read.
Right now, I am rereading "Dracula" even though spooky season is over. When I read, I find a spooky playlist or ambiance/asmr video on youtube to play in the background, I drink a cinnamon tea for the warmth and light my halloween scented candle. Let me tell you, it is the best way to read Dracula.
I did it also when I read "Lord of the Rings" for Tolkien Week. I vibed out to the soundtrack, I drank copious amounts of earl grey tea and I had lit my candle that is smells like Aragorn. It made rereading the books so much cooler because I was fully swept up in the fantasy of being in Middle Earth.
While I know I can't do this with every book I read, but if I can... I am going to absolutely vibe out while I read.

This sounds like a lovely way to take in a book! Almost like a ritual! I do something similar while playing games and creating D&D characters. I may start doing this with books too. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad something good like that could come out of the pandemic.
