When, where, how much and how often do you read?

Over the last few years I've got out of the habit of reading everywhere and now I just tend to go to bed earlier and do my reading for an hour at the end of the day. I listen to audio books in the car and sometimes when I'm cooking or other pottering around-type jobs. I miss having a book to hand all the time, so I'm going to try having 2 books on the go at one time so I can carry one around to read at lunchtime, or in the evenings, and keep a separate one for bedtime. I usually read 2 or 3 books a month and 1 or 2 audio books.

I'm curious to know what other people's reading habits are?

I have a bath most evenings and read for a while then. Also try to get a chapter in before bed!

I love reading and get annoyed with myself for not reading as much as I used too.

Pretty much every evening, at the weekends and whenever I can Grin

I got through 150 books last year, which I was pretty chuffed with but I do class reading as one my my main 'hobbies' even though that might sound quite odd to some people.

Mainly my Kindle nowadays as it's so damn convenient but I still buy books and are given them as presents, which is always lovely.

I don't watch a lot of tv though, which probably has something to do with the quantity...

I don't watch much tv, but I manage to fit 2-3 hours social media into most days, which is probably a complete waste of my time. I'm going to try cutting that back to an hour and doing reading instead.

I have got much more into reading over the last couple of years.

I usually have three on the go, one on kindle, one Audible and one actual book - all different genres.

I put aside some time each day, if it's a busy day reading time is sometimes at the expense of TV in the evening.
I'm not great at reading in bed, that's when I MN!
