Now I’m retired I often find myself reading for hours on end…… only looking up from a book when I notice the light beginning to fade. Do I feel guilty…. no way!
When I am home in Sicily its nearly every afternoon and again in an evening. My husband usually has a nap in an afternoon then plays chess or bridge on my computer in an evening so it all works well. When I am in UK I am looking after my sister who has dementia and she gets very ratty if I pick up a book so since she goes to bed around 7.00. I do most of my reading then but find I stay up a lot later.
Tues-Fri, I read when I get in from work, stop to cook & eat, read some more, then either watch a bit of family tv, or read through sport on tv, or occasionally I go out. Weekends I read or, in Summer, go to cricket. Mondays, I catch up on reviews and occasionally do some housework! That’s my usual routine!!!
If I am on holiday, with a pool and a waiter to bring me drinks all day long, I read from waking to sleeping. The other 50 weeks of the year, whenever I am able to…sitting on a bus, tram, train, in a coffee shop, restaurant, waiting for a film to start, curled up in my chair…
I’ve read a whole book today from Tony Batton read and reviewed unstolen .. was really good twists and turned so much I felt I was in a washing machine x?
Due to health issues, I have early retirement leaving me free to read as much or as little as I like. Just finished my 90th book for the year – keep track via goodreads. Always read in bed!
I try to read when quiet during the day, and of course in bed.
Every time I go to the loo, I always have reading material there!
Usual time is after work for an hour in the garden before I take the dog for a walk. Or bedtime

Yes, from 10 pm to 1,2,3 am,depends how tired I am. And how the baby sleeps
I try to read all the time. Sometimes work and eating interfere. Sometimes I take a bicycle ride, to a place where I can read in peace.
when I can but right now all day we are getting a wetroom in for B
i mainly read in bedx
I read when and where I have time to read.
I also read when I ‘should’ be doing something else. But hey…
Same with me. Much rather read than do anything else.
Me too!
My train journeys to and from work.
Mostly read in bed, night and morning. Try to read at other times but is harder with irritating distractions.
Not a possibility. When I use the train, I can read.
I read in bed at night when its nice and quiet
Mid afternoon till I need to get the tea ready, then most of the evening. It’s got to be a particularly special programme to make me watch the telly.
Lunch.
And evening from around 8 to 9.
I read in bed at night or morning if I’m on a night shift. It’s the only time I’m not on the go.
Any spare moment but never in bed. Just about to finish a book with a nice cup of tea and some ginger biscuits to dunk ?
at night in bed, and if I haven’t fallen asleep first with a cuppa once I have finished work.
I always read in bed. I can’t drop off to sleep unless I have a read
Oh and In the bath
I can fall asleep on sofa but when I go to bed I still have to read
With my first coffee in the morning & last thing at night.
Unless the book is fandabbydozy I only ever read in bed, at night on my kindle.

Any time real life can be ignored ?
Usually bedtime if I’m working the next day .
I read in bed till silly o”clock depending how good the book is, I also read during the day if I can have a few peaceful hours.
Same here
Ha, I wish…I get maybe ten minutes in a night, just before I inevitably doze off and smash myself in the face with the Kindle! ?
V early in the morning – it’s nice & peaceful. It’s my treat time although I find it hard to tear myself away to go to work ?

The only time I get now is when everyone’s asleep.
Bed usually .. so I stay in bed too much ?
Depends on the weather
I always read for a while before I go to bed…. Been that way since I was a child.
I read when the book says…’come on…you know you want more’

The afternoon when I finish work until I pick my daughter up from school, then again at bedtime. Also any free time I have x
No, I just carry my kindle everywhere and read when I can.
Any time!!
I always read in the evening when everyone’s watching TV.
Cant sleep until ive had a read of my book.
Any free moment!
Read when I go to bed.
No if I go to out washing away I might grab 10 minutes . I take any chance I can to read
bedtime cant go to sleep till i have read x
Bedtime for me too. Getting lost in a different world is bliss.
I’ve read a whole book today from Tony Batton read and reviewed unstolen .. was really good twists and turned so much I felt I was in a washing machine x?
I did get it for free too .. I love being asked for my opinion x?

I tend to read about 3/4 books a week
Yes when I go to bed until I drop off ( usually about 5 mins ) lol.
I hope I could do that 🙂
I read for about two hours before i go to sleep. Try & read for two hours in the morning. Then I’ll read on a bus or train
Bedtime, passenger in the car, morning with my tea!
Me and my mum will do a reading hour together when we both aren’t watching something on TV or Netflix so usually about 7pm-ish
Yeah I set aside my lunch hour from 2-3pm Monday to Friday is my reading time. And I set aside longer on Saturday and sundays with no work ?
Lunchtime and bedtime, although now I’m moving up the ranks at work, it’s now frowned upon to have a lunch hour!
Usually read for an hour in the morning, then a couple include when it gets too hot in the afternoon
No but try to read at night
When commuting to and from work, sometimes during my lunch break and possibly before bedtime. All dependent on how busy I am.
Afternoons and evenings mostly for me.
Bedtime
I love to read in bed …. but I’m lucky retired so I can read anytime really x
Mostly bedtime for me 🙂
…on…puff…the..huff….exercise…puff…bike…
Yes, every weekday from 12-3. I read a lot of books!
Any free moment. Just about to continue reading Dead Bad by @Helen
Mostly in a morning on way to work. Lunchtime if I can and that’s about really as I have company on the journey home with a work colleague.
No, but I should, I have loads of books to get through
Evening for me or if it’s a nice day I will sit in the garden with my book☀️
I did and then took my two kids and grandson for food ?
