Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays.
Another thing I like to do with my wife on the weekend is pick up some lunch and coffee and then read at the park.
Generally carrying my ereader around constantly means that idle moments in public end up getting used to advance in the book I’m reading, instead of purposelessly checking my phone or using social media. I think I read a post on here in another thread where someone else has had the same experience.
What about y’all? Any rituals? Do you play music?
I read ebooks almost exclusively (aside from graphic novels), and while I could take my kindle anywhere I feel most comfortable reading at home. I frequently read in bed after I wake up and before I sleep. Scrolling social media in bed is/was one of my bad habits; I see I’m not alone in picking up a book instead of giving my time to twitter/reddit/youtube.
I own a lot of books. There’s a used book store near my house where I get them cheap. Every night before I go to sleep I try to read a chapter.
sweats profusely Do audio books count? If so, on my commute.
I read during my breaks or when i have nothing to do pretty much anywhere its why i personally prefer digital books over physical ones
I am always reading my Kindle on my breaks and before bed for at least an hour. With reddit not being an option in allowing myself moving forward, I’m sure I’ll be reading even more!
Me too. I always read before bed, on my lunch breaks, and when I’m waiting for an appointment or something
In bed every night on my kindle. Amazon sucks but damn if it isn’t convenient, at least it has kept my reading habit going for years.
I know it is probably too late now since you’re entrenched, but I went over to a Kobo e-reader because I wanted to get away from amazon.
I’m what I call a seasonal reader - I almost exclusively read during the warmer months on my cute little balcony. I don’t know what it is, but that’s just my perfect setting for reading. I just can’t get myself to read more than a few pages when I’m indoors. A cold glass of water, the warm summer sun and a great book are what I need!
Hah I’ve never heard of someone being a seasonal reader, I like your reason for it!
I find the best moments to be during breakfast with a cup or two of coffee, and before bed.
Where I live access to books is either through Kindle or Paperback, and my wife has rights over the bookshelf, so I stick to the kindle.
What kind of books does she stack the bookshelf with? Or is it even being used for books?
Oh she reads exponentially more than I do, and quite a lot of interesting national books that I want to read too, IF ONLY I COULD BURN THROUGH MY BACKLOG :(
I typically read at home, in my chair, whenever I have spare time. Which is usually an hour or two after work on weekdays, and essentially the entire day on the weekends. I’m a bit cliche with the how; I brew a cuppa, plop down into my chair, toss on some headphones with some instrumental music, and that’s that.
Dark mode on the phone before closing the lid
I mostly read on my ereader before I sleep. How much I read depends on how tired I am or if its getting reeeaally late. I can’t really read during the day because it always feels like there is too much going on even when I don’t really do anything. Reading at night feels so much niver somehow.
I always do it at home. Usually on the couch or in bed.
Your back doesn’t hurt in bed after a while?
Reading in bed protip: Lie down, then place a plump pillow across your chest/belly. Prop book or ereader on top of pillow (at perfect eye level). Enjoy reading in bed without weird angles for your wrist/neck or tired wrists from holding something for hours.
