Darcie at Reading Derby asked this questions:
1. When you read?
2. How much time to read a week?
3. What things take away from your reading time?
4. Are you a speed reader?
I had a long reply, then the comment box ate it, so I decided to do a whole post about it.
1. I read just about every chance I get. And if I don’t have time, I take it away from my sleep. I have books all over the place. You can find pile of books in my car, kitchen, bathroom, garage, purse, hallways, bedroom…just about every where. I’ve lear to read 15 or more books at once just in case I misplace any particular books.
2. It varries how much times I read in a week. Some weeks, the kids are more demanding than most, so I read less. Other week when they occupy each other, I read more.
3. Time with my husband and children takes me away from books. Used to, chores around the house does too…but then I got this nice little invention called iPod and now I don’t have to miss out on books while doing the laundry and later on, folding them.
4. I guess sometimes I am a speedreader. I am capable of speedreading…especially on books I don’t like. I am a little weird that when I start a book, I have got to finished it, so I speed read it the rest of the way. Other books are meant to be savored, so I savor them. Like Jennifer Donelly’s Rose series (I don’t think she calls it that). You can hurry them. And the trilogy with Tatiana and Alexander by Paulllina Simons, each page is like a mural. So I leisurely read them.
Some weeks I do not have books which I’ve finished reading, but then some weeks, I finished all ten.
Thanks for taking the time to answer the question. I do like books on CD but have found since I am not in the car as much I am not listening to them as much. I need to change that!
I like that you have books everywhere. I do in the house but not in the car – I will change that too! Thanks so much for your insight!!
