When do you read?

I read every night in bed! I have also allowed myself an hour on the sofa in the afternoon to read if I am at home! On journeys and holidays I fill my kindle and read voraciously but not as fast as I used to !!

I have been a bookaholic all my life and nothing changes now at aged 80. I read in bed in the morning and evening, morning especially if I am having a bad day and it lets me creak about a bit before getting up. Always have a read at night , better than watching any tv for me. Travelling if I am not driving, and when I lived abroad used to be avid for any new book available for me to read apart from the rubbish Mills and Boon, that I couldnt stomach even if there was no other book available. It helped me learn languages too as if there were no english books left I would move onto whatever local language of where I lived, apart from Syria as my spoken arabic wasnt too bad but wasnt there long enough to learn the script. My flat has quite a few book cases stacked library style with gardening in one and music in another etc etc. What joy reading brings me and whenever things are bad or I feel very hard up there will always be the pleasure of sitting with a decent cup of coffee and a good book

I always read about a chapter of a book in bed every night.

I read in bed, for at least half an hour before I try to sleep, and then again during the night when my restless legs start acting up+as of now).

I used to read in bed, but now I’m spending so much time scrolling on my phone or listening to podcasts that I can’t fit it in! I’m in a book club, so I need to get through the books! What works for me, on days when I’m home, is to timetable a reading hour between 4-5 pm. I read downstairs, and play BBC Radio 3 in the background. I feel very genteel during my Reading Hour!

I read most nights before sleep, I find it relaxes me. During the day whilst I’m doing mundane housework type things I have an audiobook on the go, I use wi fi headphones so wherever I am indoors I can listen.

I too used to be an avid reader: before bed, on a bus, in the evenings (before Netflix was invented!) But now the only time I read now is while I'm eating my lunch (the cooked meal of the day). I live alone, so I'm not being rude!

Try hard to pick up a book when I have a cuppa instead of my iPad but here I am…….!
Love reading in a hot bath or warm bed. Usually read a couple of books a week. Join Goodreads and set yourself a reading challenge.

i like to read during my many hours of insomnia, before bed, during the day often lying down for a rest, i suffer from a lot of pain so depends what sort of day it is. when we go out I take a book with me to read on the journey no matter how long or short. i can often be found stirring the saucepan for tea book in other hand waiting for kettle to boil etc umm i like reading! romance, true animal rescue stories, crime real and fiction

I found that scrolling through social media especially Twitter (before Musk took over) damaged my concentration level. When I cut that down, it came back, so there is hope. I read my Kindle in bed, and a real book in the sitting room. My DH is blind and uses audiobooks which I listen to as well. I read about 9-10 books a month and keep a record in a notebook. I do hope your reading mojo comes back as reading is so good for you.

I use a library app on my iPad so if I ‘can’t get into’ a book it’s easy to return it and download another.
All free, which is an extra bonus

I have two on the go at any one time, one audio at bedtime, one physical book. Bought myself a reclining reading chair! I’ll read if I have a quiet afternoon. All very regimented!!

I’ve always been an avid reader and I honestly don’t think I have ever been without a book on the go my whole life since my sister taught me to read when I was three. These days it’s mostly in bed before sleep or in the afternoon if there’s nothing else going on. Books are my absolute joy.

anything and everything!
No seriously, fiction, old and tried favourites, Donford Yates, Georgette Heyer, Norah Lofts, Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë.

Research in my fields, history, especially from 1500 onwards. The Bible, The German romantic poets (in German) Danish Romantic Literature (in Danish). Shakespeare.

I don't care for modern detective stories, as most are either totally unrealistic, or worse are more interested in the atrocious crimes and the people who commit them than on demonstarting that crime is wrong -which to me should be the focal point of detective stories.

Plus anything that catches my eye when I go to the library.
Ups! forgot Umberto Ecco up to The Prague Cemetary - I can't get on with his more recent works.

I read a lot. Whenever I sit down I pick up my iPad and access the Kindle app. I currently have 600 + on my kindle app. I culled about 400 before I realised I could remove the download but keep the details in case I wanted to reread anything.
Wish I could just sit 😀 and relax. I’ll read anything ( even the sauce bottle label).

My favourite place to read is in a coffee shop. There are no distractions and I don’t feel guilty about household chores I should be doing. I also enjoy reading in bed for half an hour before I go to sleep.

I too have lost my reading mojo. Easily distracted and start thinking of other things. Ive bought several interest books recently but they seem to be gathering dust also.
Ive recently signed up with Audible so when Im crafting, I can listen. But thats taking some getting used to, being read to in a voice that’s not your own!

I've always been an early riser , now enthusiastically encouraged by the dog .
I go back and read in bed watching the sun come up , its the best part of the day ! With the kindle I can read in the dark without disturbing DH.

I read a lot of books in a year but mainly read at night in bed.I do like to read a bit at breakfast and lunchtime but that's usually only to get to the end of a chapter.

If I can't sleep I will read for a long time.

Always in bed as well as frequently during the afternoon. But like others - as a child I used to get totally and absolutely engrossed in a book. I wish I still had that ability.

I read on my laptop, after walking dog mid-day.

The Economist and The NYT.

If newspaper is in from work, I read after dinner dog walk.

I read the paper every day. I have to be complete silence to read a book and as we have only one sitting room and I'm not keen on most tv programmes I leave that room for my husband and who loves tv and go to bed early and read until I settle down.

After lunch I complete the Times Codeword puzzle then read for about 15 minutes. I always read in bed to relax me ready for sleep.
But if I have one of those books that I can’t put down I read at mealtimes and any other time I’m not busy.
If I don’t have a book to read I panic!

They are marvellous. Mine is quite old but it does the job.

Hello and welcome, Lesleym57.

Kindles are marvellous things, aren't they? I had a keyboard one when they very first came out, and have never looked back. I'm loving the new one, which I got because I can read it in the bath. I got a wireless charger for it, which doubles as a stand, so I can read it when knitting, although turning the page will be annoying - I'm a fast reader.
