I read whenever I can - mostly in bed at night but also when having a nice long hot bath though holding up a hard back book can make your arms ache!

I also read when my husband has some sort of sports on the television - though he does insist on giving me a commentry I dont want to hear and then gets annoyed when I dont respond cos I am so engrossed in the book!

I've only recently been able to claw some time & energy back for reading so my book goes wherever I do! I manage a few pages whilst the kiddies have breakfast...a page on the loo :) sometimes.... I love reading in the bath and always in the evenings/bedtime now. I get an extra chapter a night in at kiddies bedtime too as we're reading 'real books' as my son calls them rather than short stories, so it's not my book as such but I do get to read :tong:

I have started reading for around a hour when I get home from work (as well as bedtime). I have 'mums corner' in my bedroom with candles and photos and a lovely wicker chair and I find it really relaxing to sit there and read.

Usually on the bus back & forth to work and on my lunch break.

 

I sometime read at night if I'm not too tired or late and if my son is having some TV time and I don't fancy watching cartoon. I think it's important that he sees me reading.

I get too distracted reading outside. I just went and ate lunch by the harbour and then read some of my book but I got worried about all the birds flying around me and over me (you can imagine why!) so I cut it short :).

I prefer too read outside,except that never seems to happen.so I like to read by the window in my house 1:00-3:00ish:/

 

I love reading outside but whenever I take the girls to the park I have too much to do, changing nappies, feeding the baby, playing with Katie, eating lunch.

I get up at 5.00 am and do about an hour on my exercise bike, whilst reading a book. Sometimes, and if it's a particularly good book, I can just keep going for about 100 mins. It's good exercise and good reading time! I also read at lunchtime at work, and when I go to bed at night. I also read in the car (but only if my husband is driving obviously!) I'm pretty proud of myself because during September I managed to read 9 books which for me is A LOT.

I read for 30 mins every night (pretty much) before bed and occasional Saturday/Sunday mornings before OH gets up. I also quite often read for 20 mins in my lunch-hour - so there's usually two books on the go, the bedtime/weekend book and the work-lunchtime book.

Hmmm maybe I should have kept that to myself !!!! Oh well my secret is now out !!! Although I do feel slightly embarressed !!!! :welcome2:

I know a few people with a shelf of books in the toilet as well, I don`t because I`ve got a loo the size of a matchbox! :welcome2:

Too. Many. Jokes.

 

Gah!

 

I tend to read late at night, when the traffic outside my flat has died down and everything is quiet.

Perhaps you should try reading something more exciting Nici. Or get more rest !! :D You've been under a lot of stress this year, maybe your body is trying to tell you to chill out ! :D

I love reading at night but have a problem with falling asleep. In my head I'm not tired (especially if I'm reading a really good book) but my eyes just please themselves. So now I try to read on the bus going to and from uni. But I have a tendency to get travel sick. I just think my body doesn't like me reading :D

I have the same problems, can`t read when travelling because I get travel sick, can`t read at night because I can`t keep my eyes open!

Now I try to read when I get in from work and early evenings, seems to work. :D
