Tell Me Something Tuesday is hosted by Rainy Day Ramblings and discusses a wide range of topics from books to blogging.


Question: How do you find time to read?

Boring answer: I just do. I’m lucky in that I’m a very fast reader. I can read a 300 page book in about 4-5 hours or crank out several novellas in an afternoon.

As for my generic reading habits…I can’t read in the morning. I have things to do or work. Even if I had a spare moment of time my brain is too busy processing the things I need to get done for the day.

If I have the day off and to myself, I’ll start reading around 2-ish and keep going until dinner unless I forget to eat because I’m too absorbed in the book but the dogs won’t let that happen because they want to eat.  Or if I have to work then I’ll read after dinner until I go to bed.

I used to read in bed a lot when my husband worked nights but I don’t as much anymore. If I’m really into an e-book though, I’ll pull an all nighter because the light from the Kindle doesn’t bother him but then he tries to wake me up early and I’m all...

I also can't read in public...I get too distracted by all the noise and I can't do audio books for the same reason. Even though I can read with the tv on at home.
