Rarely in bed because otherwise I wouldn't go to sleep, except for when hubby is out of town because I can't sleep without him, so why not read until dawn. Sometimes audio books in the car. Nor can I leave out the bathroom reads. Ahem... Now I'm hearing Dr. Seuss in my head - On a boat, with a goat, on the train, in the plane.... 😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to my audio books while sewing......so sitting on my sewing chair or either on the couch or on my bed if hand sewing. For my book reading I mainly sit at the table, couch, or in bed. I used to read constantly while riding in the car but Covid seems to have broke that habit as I now find riding in cars fascinating!😂 @Robin MI loved the Devotion of Suspect X! I read the third or forth in the series earlier this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I am now hooked on some audiobooks by Beatriz Williams in the Schuyler Sisters series. I read the first in the series to fill my “Groovy Baby” square on the Bingo card and became really involved in the story which shifts between 1960’s NYC and the European build up to WW1. The current day Schuyler sister discovers she has and Aunt Violet who was a physicist and disappeared from the family tree when she receives her aunt’s suitcase in the mail........returned from a lost and found in Switzerland. I will definately be reading the rest of these! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18667976-the-secret-life-of-violet-grant 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Oh my goodness you guys, Jack Reacher is back in town!!! I ran into him at the library! I invited him home for the weekend, we'll stay masked of course. I don't usually admit my fluffy crushes on this thread (looking at you Richard Sharpe and Kinsey Milhone) but I'm just so pleased to have a friend heading into this holiday break with me. 😂😂😂 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a wanderer, Jack is, and so hard to keep him in line. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most books have a fairly minor reference back to one or more precious ones, but usually not critical. One nice thing about reading from the beginning is watching his technology change. He used to go on a bus with a toothbrush and some cash, more recently he has an expired passport with him and somebody had to show him how to use a smart phone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The table is best for re-reads, or short stories or light reads, because breakfast and lunch are so quick to eat, I don't have the time to get fully immersed again into a complex read. The bed is good for everything except the heavy/complex books, as I may read for an hour, or just 2 minutes, before my eyes get heavy. The floor, armchair, and couch are "all purpose" reading spots. 😉 Edited December 19, 2020 by Lori D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my age I have no choice but to say yes. However, I refuse to let my age prevent me from learning new things, including the use of new technology. 2. A lot places. I too like to read on my stomach but I do it either on my bed laying crosswise or on the couch, which is long enough to stretch out on. I also read on the couch sitting up. When it's cool enough outside (usually late Nov. - early March) I like to read on the back screen porch in the morning, I take my coffee and Kindle, or sometimes a print book and sit outside and read. The cats and I also enjoy bird watching on the porch but for different reasons. 😄 I read in bed at night before going to sleep. Always have. I was the kid and teen who got in trouble for staying up late reading in bed when I had to get up for school the next day. The adult me still stays up too late reading. I listen to audio books in the car or when doing mindless things around the house like folding laundry or chopping vegetables for a meal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to listen to audiobooks if I'm driving kids around (none of that this year), or cleaning. Otherwise I don't watch TV and limit my time on the internet so I am almost never without a book, either on my phone, or on my kindle. I am trying to make more effort to use my kindle and relax more when reading but that's a work in progress because sometimes I just have a few minutes. My MIL did buy me a Respawn gaming chair to use in the living room, so that I can read in comfort while still being in the middle of everything going on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
