Guys please....

Will any of you give me some hints and tips on how to make time to read our books?

Daft question maybe, but as I know you are all busy women I thought it made sense to ask you all.

I don't read work stuff in bed if i can help it. My evenings are on here most of the time. Do you do your reading on weekends or just a quick 10-15 min read each night before sleep?

Any suggestions would be great as I love reading for pleasure and just pure bleeding escapism!!!

 

[DQ]

I read in the loo, in the bath, snuggled down with the baby, when the family are eating - any chance I get!! It's purely selfish and I make time for it cos it keeps me sane (ish)

In the bath mainly

I have this book .. not started it yet, I'm in the middle of another book at present - will give my input when i read it... so glad that people are enjoying it though - i love it when i make a good book purchase!!

As for making time to read.. I have to force myself to stop reading and actually do other things, i get up extra early so I can bath instead of shower, thus meaning I can read for 30 mins, I take my book with me everywhere, so if i'm travelling and stop for coffee i can read, when i go shopping i take my book so i can go to a coffee shop or bar and read mid shop, I read before i go to sleep - sometimes going to bed early specifically to read!!!! My parents used to take the mickey out of me when I was a kid because I always had my nose in a book.... once I even left a new boyfriend downstairs chatting to parents while i disappeared upstairs for a quick 15min read - my mum found me and told him - i was mortified!!!!

I'll send you my copy .... you can keep it.

 

[DQ]

Found it thanks honey!! Just finished reading it - sniff!!

 

[Shazza]

Well I have just started it - Read the first 2 pages - didnt really grab me into the story - I am quite into books that get you hooked on the first paragraph. Will have more of a read tonight.

 

[DQ]

It was fantastic Shazza, really really good. I had got about halfway through,picked it up last night and read the other half in one go!

 

[matty]

I am enjoying the book, just being quite slow at the moment, I got into a very bad habit over Christmas of dipping into several books!
Looking forward to the discussion.

Have to confess I haven't even started yet, in fact I haven't even dug my copy out. I read it a few years back and really enjoyed it, hopefully I'll get a quick read through to refresh my memory before our discussion.

Just finished reading The Island by Victoria Hislop, it was really good I'd reccommend it.

Sounds interesting. Perhaps put it forward for the next book club?

 

[BINDIBOOP]

OOH book club, how fun! i am always reading, but have no one to talk to the book about, now i can
I dug out my copy (trust it to be at the bottom of the pile!)
and i'm about 1/4 of the way through! Its quite good, i'm a john grisham kinda girl, i love murder/crime books! So this one is abit different for me!

 

[CheekyMare]

Just started reading it, I haven't been able to find the time just lately as I have been busy decorating. Got all next week off so will devote lots of time to the book.

Hi Shazza

This book is a little wierd and isn't really like any other. PLEASE perservere, yo'll really get into it after the first 100 pages or so. It really is a gem of a book and one of my all time favourites!
