Do you read at night only or all day?"
I read on and off whenever I'm free, day or night. :)
My biggest obstacle is getting heavy eyes while reading.

Do you borrow a lot of books from libraries?"

Do you use an e-reader?"
no

Do you sometimes order hardcover books through the mail?"
Yes

Do you read with music?"
No, I prefer quiet when I'm reading.

I love reading in bed too, but I also read pretty much anywhere.
Does your dad also read while you're in the living room? My family reads like that sometimes.


I prefer paper books. I like holding a book, feeling and smelling (and when I was small even tasting!!) the paper.


Do you read at night only or all day?"
Anytime really. Probably mostly during the day since my creative juices flow better at night and that's when I like to write.

Do you dog ear a page?"
That's sacrilege. Just kidding. I only dog ear a page when there aren't any of my bookmarks handy.

I'm never going to manage keeping it from getting wet if I try!

Same here!"
lol there is just too many books I want to read in this lifetime to settle for one book at a time.

That sounds very relaxing!

I agree with you two, that sound so cozy and relaxing! A lounge chair sounds awesome, but my appartment certainly is too small for one. It would only fit into the hallway, but it has no windows and still ist kind of empty (I recently moved in and don't have enough furniture). So I mostly read on the sofa (it has like a slope on the left side, that's awesome) or in bed. But I tend to fall asleep very quickly and then wake up in the middle of the night, lights turned on and my neck aching...

I have a Kindle but at the moment i am back in love with the physical book.
I read day or nigh time,but find it difficult when the tv is on, I cannot read in a car or during a flight.
I can only read a book once, however good the book is, unlike my husband and daughter who can re read .
I like my place on the sofa..with a cuppa and my toy poodle Hollie curled up beside me.
Reading in bed makes me very sleepy which annoys me as I want to read more!...





Thanks
