Follow Friday (15)



Q: Activity!!! Take a picture or describe where you love to read the most...

Since I just woke up--my bed is not made.  I am not going to post that picture on the internet for the world to see (*gasp*).  But when I am at home, I get most of my reading done in bed.

But I read on my way to and from work.  I commute about 45 minutes each way which gives me a lot of uninterrupted reading time. 

I also love audiobooks because then I can "read" while I am walking.  The university I work at has quite a few buildings that are pretty far from the building I work in--so when I have to walk to another building I usually have my iPod with me. 

Do you like audiobooks?  Can you read on your way to work or school?

    a long commute on a bus is a great time to read a book for sure . I've never tried audio books though. I'm sure they would be great for the car . I follow your blog already :) but here's My FF

      My commute has become a peaceful fun part of my day because I can dedicate time to reading. :)

      Audiobooks are hugely influenced by the narrator--so my big suggestion is that if you do not like the narrator's voice or inflection at the beginning then I would probably change to a different book. That is why I love my library for audiobooks. :)

    My bed is one of my favorite places to. But I like it also very much to read on my couch.

    Have a nice weekend!

      I don't have a couch--but I do like to read in my chair in my living room when I am not in my room. :)

    I mostly read in bed, too. And if I were to take a photograph of it now, you would not see it...because it's not made, either!

    I agree, audiobooks are great, when you're walking/runing/driving. And I love reading on buses, trains also. :)

      It took me a little getting used to--but now I am hooked on audiobooks. I just have to make sure that I am focusing on the book--if my mind is wandering or focusing on something else I have to stop listening to the audiobook. :)

    you're lucky I can't read during the transport, but the bed is perfect too!

      I would be so sad if I couldn't read in the moving vehicles. It would make my commute not nearly as much fun.
