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?

Now that I have a car I don't want by myself much anymore, but I used to walk and read all the time even as an adult. I'm able to pay attention to my surroundings while I'm reading, so it never felt dangerous. (I mean, I wouldn't read while crossing the street at least.)

These days I read any physical books at my desk, and most of my ebook reading is done in bed at night, though I do sometimes read ebooks at my desk as well. I can't read in bed comfortably for long, because my neck and elbows start to hurt, and my hands get numb, so reading at my desk is my preferred place. I have a large desk chair that I can sit crosslegged and lean back in so it's very comfy. I often have a lap cat while reading here.
