Where and how often do you read books?
I can only read in bed. Can't sit up and read a book. Can't concentrate like that.
I read nearly every night. |
I go through phases. Wish I did it more but get too distracted, mainly by my phone. When I really like a book I'll prob read for half an hour a day or something like that but I probably only read a book every month or two atm. Favourite place to read is in the bath or when it's a nice day out in the garden
I hadn't ready anything recently for a few weeks but a few days ago I got into reading Raymond Carver short stories and I've been demolishing those. All of them are only 10/15 minute reads so it's easy to dip in and out |
I read my kindle at bedtime 362 days a year

Kindles are great
I still buy actual books sometimes but the kindle is actually really good to read and I love the benefit of being able to highlight sections I like or look up anything that's mentioned. Also how it introduces you to a lot of books you'd never hear of otherwise and how you can download a decent size sample of any book before you buy it |

I go through phases as well, I haven't read a book since the start of lockdown last March
|
I read most nights....have read loads during lockdown...same as you though Kate, I rarely read downstairs and prefer a physical book to an ebook....(and I do have an excellent reading ligjt :laugh:).
|
....I never read in bed, I always read before I go to bed in the evenings.../...sometimes during the day...and a mixture of books plus I download onto my iPad as well...I also love Scarlett’s series of stories/books as well, which I read here...
|
Strangely enough, I've never read a book since lockdown either.
|
Most days-I get cranky when I don't have a book to read!
|
I used to read loads, I'd spend hours at a time reading, then life got busy and screens came along so i only really read a lot on holiday then covid came along .......... Once I actually start a book I fly through it, I have one ready to go which I will start this weekend, it's one my brother recommended, not my usual thing, I like fiction but I'll give it a go, it's called The Coddling of the American Mind
|
I read mostly on the bus these days.
|
I often read biographies. Not into fiction. But read occasional non fiction. :)

I've just recently got into audio books, I spend a lot of time driving so I decided to get the months free trial with audible last month, I'm on my 5th book in 4 weeks, I love it, I'll definitely be keeping the subscription going, it's great value, it's £7.99 I think per month, you get one free book with that but there's a lot of books on there that are free with your subscription, I've only paid for one book so far, currently I'm on Book 3 of a detective series by Helen Durrant
|
All the time, and wherever I am :laugh:
I'm more of a reader than a watcher. |

I'm more of a Manga reader tbh.
But I am trying to get into Books. |
I like to read on my kindle in bed but I have a terrible habit of starting books and then I get distracted and months later when I finally feel like reading again I start another one and the cycle continues…
|
Daily in my living room.

I try to most nights before bed.
I probably do most of my reading on the train, I commute a lot for work. |
