When do you read?

goodnightmoon · **When do you read?**

When do you find the time to read? It takes me forever to read a book. This summer I finished Middlesex (Oprah's book club) & The Other Boleyn Girl. Right now I'm 1/2 way through with The Boleyn Inheritance. This has taken me since mid-June. I love reading but where do you get the time?

I also like to read- though with 4 young boys, it is hard to find the time. I read at night right before I go to sleep. It does take me a while to finish a book though. At times I can read a few pages- when we are outside and they are all playing nicely (which is not often)

I read when I can..Waiting in the car for the kids to get out of school (I get there a little early so I am in the front of the car rider line and sometimes I sit for awhile), at night after everyone is in bed and in the bath...that is my fav time to read

I read mostly at night, after the kids are in bed, and Brian's either working or has fallen asleep. But there are times, very few and far between, when I'll drop the kids off at school, and just take the whole day to read.

Anytime i possibly can. Mostly at night when the kids are down.

I read while I'm feeding the baby, while he's sleeping, in between cleaning, in car rides. Whenever, wherever, I can find a time and place to read I'm reading.

I usually read at night before I go to bed. Sometimes I read in the morning when I'm having my first cup of coffee before the kids get up.

My dd and I do quiet reading every night before her bedtime. We sit side-by-side and read our books, so that's when I do the bulk of my reading. If there's nothing on TV that I want to watch, I'll read after dd goes to bed. I'll take my book with me if I have to go somewhere so I have something to do while I wait.

I read at work. We are allowed to. We just have to sit and make sure the kids are sleeping so I can read from 11pm-7am. It is awesome. I do a lot of homework as well.

i read any spare moment i have through the day, and then i read in the bathtub at night, i love to soak in a nice hot tub, and i read before bed, i read at every chance i get. if i am going uptown and might have to wait for soemthing i bring a book, i will read at train crossings waiting for the train to go by, if i am eating takeout in my car, then i will read while i eat lol. i am a book addict.
