Reading Habits

[forestofglory]

I was one of those kids who took a book everywhere and would read in any spare minute I got. When I was in high school I walked to school about a mile each way, and read the whole walk. These days I don't do either of those things. I like to have a bit more time to get into the story so I tend to spend odd 10 minute breaks on my phone. And reading while walking seams dangerous, what was I thinking!

But I still do spend time reading everyday. For sleep hygiene reasons I don't look at screens for an hour or so before bed, so I tend to spend that time reading. These days I read a lot of fic on my ereader, but I still do read pro pubished stuff, I'm just finding it takes more focus.

I do have a favorite reading spot. There's a sofa in my work room (where my computer and sewing machine are). One of the quilts I made lives there, so its nice and snugly. I like to sit with my back on one of the arms and my legs stretched out in front of me.

What are your reading habits like these days?

I read tons of books growing up--always reading. But after grad school I haven't really read many physical books--I spend most of my time reading fic on my tablet. I'd like to change that, especially in the before bed hours, but am finding it difficult. I want to read more books, but also want to read ALL the fic, lol.
